President's Report

Despite a forecast of scattered showers, 84 men & 25 ladies turned up to play a course in great condition in perfect weather. The greens had been scarified recently, which made their speed a bit inconsistent. However, all of the new greens were in play bar the 7^th & all should be in fine condition by our next game there in June, with a bit of rain to bring them on. The new 10^th has made the hole a bit tougher but the new 11^th is a real challenge, particularly with a headwind! The volunteers & greens staff have done a great job, well done.

Thanks to Col McDowall for marking up the board & putting out the NTPs, also to Raylene for looking after us well - the sandwiches were excellent.

Welcome to visitors Peter Tait of Wingham, NSW & Russell Spencer of Calliope & to new members John Norris of Mossman & George Brew of Cooktown. Our membership stands at 255 for the year to date.

Congratulations to Bill Foster for his hole in one on the 13^th. Pity he got so excited he forgot to sign the card & was disqualified! However, he'll still get his trophy.

Folks, Bill was one of several who were disqualified for omitting to sign their cards &/or put their handicap on them. We try to run a game with the object of having fun in a competitive atmosphere, but we still enforce the rules of golf. If we didn't there would be chaos.

Although we may give Captain Greg a stir & joke about it , believe me he takes no pleasure in having to tell someone they are disqualified, particularly if they have a good score, so PLEASE take the time to check your card after the game, making sure that your handicap is on it & it is signed.

The raffle winner was Peter Handley, second Daryl King – congratulations. You can pick up your winnings at registration from June. This will be the last raffle run for a while.

We will be arranging training for use of our defibrillator shortly. Anyone interested please give me a call on 4045 3832, or see me at registration.
