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

Ross Bird

President's Message 12th October 2010

All,

There were 120 Veteran Golfers played at Mareeba today. The weather was great (it doesn’t rain in Mareeba!) the course in good condition, although there were a few green renovations, which we must expect at this time of year.

Thank you Steggles for sponsoring todays event, quite a number of people will be enjoying Steggles Chicken for dinner.

Noelene Massey thought the course was in great condition, scoring 50 points, Congratulations Noelene,  a great round of golf!

I would like to welcome visitors Buster Krause and Molly Krause from Coomalla NSW.

We had one new member, Tom Clifford from St Georges Basin, NSW, Welcome Tom!

Next week we are playing at Atherton Golf Club, my reports are that Atherton has not had any where near the rain fall the coast has experienced,  the course is nice and green but solid under foot.

The following week 26/10 is at Millaa Millaa Golf Club, it is the first round of the Patrons Trophy, given to the best aggregate scores at Nine Hole Courses.

Then on the Monday 1^st November we play at Half Moon Bay Golf Club. This is the only game not played on a Tuesday. The reason being , large numbers of our members like socializing on Melbourne Cup Day, drinking champagne, eating chicken, prawns and having a bet.

Hope to see you at our future games.

Regards

Ross Bird

PS  We are still awaiting the rush of eager applicants for committee positions next year.  Don't leave it too late!
