117 Players

President's Report

The perfect weather resulted in a good turnout of 117 – 90 men including 2 visitors & 27 ladies - & members enjoyed being able to play on a course that had dried out in almost all areas. Although the greens were in the process of being cored it did not prevent some good scores being returned. Congratulations to all the volunteers who maintain the course.

Thanks to Kevin & Jeni for the welcoming tea, coffee & raisin bread as well as the sandwiches & hot snacks. Thanks also to TGT Hardware for again sponsoring the event and providing some excellent prizes for NTP as well as their usual vouchers.

Welcome to visitors Ron Blake of Mareeba & Theodore Sheppard of McLean, NSW. Our membership stands at 221 for the 2012 year.

We are now back to playing weekly & our next game is at Mossman on 10^th April. The course has dried out & members are back to playing competitions, so it should be a good challenge.

Just an early reminder about the need to complete a nomination form for our Open on 25/26 June even if you only propose to play on the usual Tuesday. We need an indication of numbers & the cost of the comp for members is $30 for the 2 days, or $15 if you only want to play one day. We will have some forms at registration, or you can download them from the blog.

Look forward to seeing you all at Mossman.
