President's Message 14th December 2010

The sun came out and really turned the heat up on the 114 golfers who played the 2 person Ambrose. While the condition of the course was quite wet in places, the overall condition was very good considering the rain we have experienced lately.

The event was sponsored by Easylift, the prizes were great and plenty of them. Thank you Easylift, Jeff and Carly Hatswell!

We completed our season with the Presentation of trophies played for throughout the year and a lunch to celebrate the end of our year. Congratulations to all the winners.

Next season starts up in about 6 weeks time, the first game at Mareeba on the 1^stFebruary 2011.

Thank you to all the members who supported us during the year, we had large fields playing in our competitions.

Thank you to the Committee, who gave up so much of their time to ensure the year ran smoothly without any problems.

On behalf of the Committee I would like to wish everyone of you a “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” and safe travel wherever you may venture.

Regards

Ross Bird

The weather cleared and we had a great day at Atherton Golf Club. There were 94 players who enjoyed the course, the weather conditions and the company.

The course is in very good condition, the greens, excellent.

Thank you Atherton Golf Club for sponsoring today’s event and all the other events held at Atherton Golf Club.

We are nearing the end of our 2010 season, it has been a successful year, with good attendance numbers at all courses and great attitude by our members. Thank you for your participation and co-operation.

Next Tuesday, 14^th December 2010 at Cairns Golf Club we are holding the Annual Christmas Lunch and Presentation after playing a 2 Ball Ambrose. It is a shotgun start at 8:30am, that means all players need to be booked in by 8:15am. Please arrange a partner for the 2 Ball Ambrose, but if you are looking for a partner, we will find one for you. The cost is $27 for members and $50 for visitors. The 2 Ball Ambrose event is sponsored by Easylift.

President's Message 30th November 2010

All,

102 players played at Gordonvale Golf Club today, this was a very good number considering the weather outlook. Gordonvale presented the Vets with a very good course in light of the amount of rain they have had.

Thank you to ONE Golf at Gordonvale for sponsoring todays event and most of the events held at Gordonvale in 2010.

The AGM was held prior to playing golf. There were as many people at the AGM as there were playing. Thank you for your attendance.

There are only two more games for 2010, Tuesday 7^th December at Atherton Golf Club, Single Stableford and second leg of the Patrons Trophy as the game at Babinda was washed out. Tuesday 14^th December is our Christmas Lunch and Presentation, this is 8:30am Shot gun Start. Would appreciate all players book in prior to 8:15am to allow time to get out on the Tees. It is a 2 Ball Ambrose, ideally arrange your own 2 Ball, if not we will arrange pairings. Cost of the Christmas Lunch with Golf is members $27, visitors $50.

Hope to see you there.

Regards

Ross Bird

Babinda Cancelled

All,

Please be advised that the Babinda game tomorrow has been CANCELLED.

The course had 6 inches of rain yesterday & it's still raining, so the course is very sloppy!  The Babinda President advised that it is most unlikely it would be fit to play tomorrow.

If you are in touch with anyone who normally plays in the veterans, who is not on the internet, please let them know of the cancellation.

We will advise what will be done about second round of the Patron's Trophy in due course.

Thanks,

Louis Siedle
VP

Vice President's Report 16th November 2010

All,

As I've had no emails from President Ross spruiking about how well our members had done in the National Championships at Port Macquarie, I must assume they are drowning their sorrows!

The Cairns course was in great condition and the forecast rain avoided us, so some respectable scores were returned, with winners enjoying good prizes supplied by Golf World who sponsored the event.

We welcomed two visitors, Sandy Jamieson from Headland and Peter Billingham from Beerwah and a new member, Des Jones from Half Moon Bay Golf Club.

Our Treasurer is still eagerly accepting subscriptions for 2011. Please present your Membership card for validation when paying.

We have FNQVGA shirts in various sizes available at $30 for short sleeves & $35 for long.

Also, we have had a quote for nametags since several people have suggested they would be a good idea. Please let me know if you want one. The cost is $7.

Next games are at Babinda on 23rd November, and Gordonvale on 30^th November both Single Stableford, with the former being the second round of the Patron's Trophy. 


The Gordonvale game will be a shotgun start at 8.30am following our AGM which starts at 8am.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers,
Lou Siedle

Vice President's Report 9th November 2010

All,

As the President is swanning around NSW for the next couple of weeks with a few others who are gamely representing our region in the National Championships at Port Macquarie, it falls on me to present a report. May they avoid all trees and water and bring back plenty of prizes.

Mareeba turned on great weather for the game today, as was indicated by the turnout of 103 players.

The greenkeeper is to be congratulated on the fine condition of the course, apart from a few trees being in the wrong place!

The scores reflected the course condition and the winners benefitted from prizes supplied by Drummond Golf who sponsored the event.

We welcomed two visitors from Coomella in NSW, Molly & Buster Krause and a new member, Lloyd Gilbert from Half Moon Bay Golf Club.

Our Treasurer is eagerly accepting subscriptions for 2011. Please present your Membership card for validation when paying.

We have FNQVGA shirts in various sizes available at $30 for short sleeves & $35 for long.

Also, we have had a quote for nametags since several people have suggested they would be a good idea. Please let me know if you want one. The cost is $7.

Next games are at Cairns on 16th November and Babinda on 23rd November, both Single Stableford, with the latter being the second round of the Patron's Trophy.

Hope to see you there.

President's Message 26th October 2010

All,

The FNQ Veteran Golfers played at Millaa Millaa Golf Club today. The course was in great condition and weather was perfect.

Only 50 Vets turned up to contest the prizes donated by Don & Dora McHardie of Millaa Millaa 5 Star Supermarket and Variety Store and Millaa Millaa Golf Club.

It was a disappointing number to attend given the excellent weather and course conditions.

We welcome 2 visitors Mick Lynch and Jim Smith.

Todays game marks the end of the 2010 Financial year for the Association, it is time to have a stocktake and compile reports for the AGM on 30^th November 2010.

It is also time to open our books for 2011 membership, you can pay now or wait until we start our 2011 year. But remember when paying your membership to have your membership card available for validating .

Next game is at Half Moon Bay Golf Club on the MONDAY 1^st November, then Mareeba Golf Club on Tuesday 9^th November and Cairns Golf Club on Tuesday 16^th November.

Hope to see you there!

Regards
