President's Report

Unfortunately the City of Cairns comp. at Cairns GC, as well as restrictions on the numbers of carts available because of changeover of old stock, impacted our game today & we had a smaller field than usual. However, the course was in fine condition with greens up to the standard of 5 years ago, bunkers well raked & plenty of run thanks to the ground firming up after the run of fine, clear weather. Well done the greens staff. After a chilly start, the day warmed up to provide a pleasant outing.

Thanks to Lionel, Emily & Kim who looked after us well as usual & to the club for sponsoring the day.

Welcome to visitors Alister Bailey from Brisbane, Bev Hosie from Woodonga, Vic., Peter McGregor from Auckland, NZ, Steve Pawliw from Yallourn in Gippsland, Vic., & Craig Thelan from Gove, NT, (who obviously provided his father with the moral support he needed to win Div 1!)

Our next game is the first round of our Championship at Cairns golf club on 14^th August & therefore a stroke event.  (Please note that to play in the Championship, a player must have been a financial member of the Association for 3 months prior to the date of the Championship & have played at least 3 events in our program.)

To console you for the extra effort involved in having to count every shot, each group will be provided with a plate of nibblies at the end of their round!

Look forward to seeing you there.
