President's Report
Veteran Golfers
After driving through some drizzle at Fisheries Falls, I was worried that we might get wet at Babinda. As it turned out, we had another beautiful day which enabled us to enjoy the course, which as the scores proved, was no pushover.
A big thank you to the volunteers who maintain the course. It was a credit to them, particularly considering the greens had been flooded a couple of times this year. Also, many thanks to the two ladies who prepared the ham or corned beef & salad rolls that enabled us to face the ditches a second time!
A particular thanks to Wal Anthony for sponsoring today's event by making the two beautiful side tables each of which retails for around $350.
A good field of 73 golfers contested today's event, 57 Men & 16 Ladies, which was a great turnout. We finished the year with 326 members and have started next year's membership with 81 renewals & new members.
Welcome to our visitors, Drew Studham from Atherton, Brian Bevan & Mat Lock both of Babinda & to a new member, Mary Scott of Cairns.
The next game is an 8.30 shotgun start single stableford at Gordonvale on 22nd November following our AGM, which starts at 8am. Please register early so the AGM can start promptly. The Annual Trophy presentations will follow after the game, so please stay on, socialise & give the winners a good hand.
The year is drawing to a close, with our final event & Xmas breakup on 6th December at Cairns GC, but if you are looking for additional games to fill in December, Mareeba Golf Club is having its 2011 "Closing Day" on Saturday the 10th December. If interested, you can give them a ring for details. Keep an eye on the blog, as I shall post details of any games I am given notice of over the festive season.
I look forward to seeing you at Gordonvale on 22nd November.
