President's Message 17th May 2011

Veteran Golfers

Thank you to the 106 players who played at Gordonvale Golf Club this morning. It started out with the weather looking a bit dismal, but we got through most of the day without getting wet.

Thank you to Drummond Golf, Cairns for sponsoring today’s event and Katrin Nash for joining us for a game. I think she inspired her playing partners with June Willmot scoring 48 points.

Gordonvale Golf Club worked hard to present us with the course. While there were some greens with a little sand on them, the course in general was in great condition. The scores indicate that, with 48, 46, 45 and a lot players with 40 points and over. Thank you to Graham and Tom for preparing the board and Nearest the Pins. Thank you Gordonvale Golf Club.

Welcome to new Members Suda Woodward and Terry Webb from Gordonvale. Welcome to visitor Keith Dudgeon from Ashgrove.
