Veteran Golfers
After a brief shower of rain early morning, the day cleared up fine & hot. The course was in great condition although the thick rough in the drains made you think about the risk/reward factor of getting in it.
A big thank you to the greens staff who maintain the course. It was a credit to them, with the greens looking the best for some time. Also, many thanks to Lionel & Emily who manned the bar during a hectic registration, AGM & presentation.
Thanks also to Tom Bryce who set up the board & NTP cards for us & marked the board after the game, saving us considerable time. Also to Ken Martin who looked after the registration book for the AGM.
A good field of 131 golfers contested today's event, 93 Men & 21 Ladies. We finished the year with 326 members and have started next year's membership with 96 renewals & new members.
The presentation of trophies after our game was well attended. Thanks to all who stayed on to give the winners a good hand. Welcome to the new committee members who were elected at the AGM. I look forward to a fruitful & busy year ahead.
Thanks to Melody of Savannah Lifestyle Resorts who sponsored the event, advised us she had booked us in for more sponsorship next year & cleared up a few queries she had received following the TV ads for the facility. She will be conducting a seminar at Brothers Leagues Club on 7th December to outline what they offer in detail.
Welcome to our visitors, Lyn & David Morrison of Coolangatta Tweed Heads & Brian Bevan of Babinda.
The next game is single stableford at Atherton on 29nd November, followed by our 2 ball Ambrose 8.30 shotgun start at Cairns on 8th December with our Xmas breakup lunch after.
I look forward to seeing you at Atherton on 29th November.
