President's Report

A beautiful cool morning warmed up to a clear day with a light breeze for the best field we have had at Atherton for a couple of years of 96 men & 18 ladies.

The course was in fine condition in preparation for their other major comps coming up soon, although some thought the greens a bit slow. Well done the greens staff.

Thank you Debbie & Owen for the great sandwiches & keeping up with the drinks. Thanks also to Golf World for sponsoring the event.

Welcome to visitors Charlie Langham of Wauchope, Peter Buckman of Yallourn, Di van Eldik of Mackay, John Percival of Denmark, Bob Brown of Gympie, Graeme & Pamela Atkinson of Millaa Millaa & to new members Deb Duffy & William Matthews of Cairns & Gordon O'Neill of Headland. Our membership for the year to date stands at 278.

Our next game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

Then on 1^st & 2^nd July we have our Open at Cairns for which you have to nominate (even if you only want to play one day), as times will be allocated by draw. Forms are on this blog (just use the search box at the top right) & can be obtained from June at registration.  Also, if you want to play with a particular person(s) on either of those days, please note that on your nomination form.

Folks, we have been getting some people who turn up, fill in a card & pay, then say they want to play with another person or couple who have not yet arrived. If that is the case, PLEASE DO NOT PRESENT YOUR CARDS AT REGISTRATION UNTIL THE OTHER PERSON/COUPLE ARE THERE TOO, otherwise it causes confusion to committee members who are kept busy trying to match people up in groups. The person sorting the cards then has to find another match & the one on the board has to scrub out & re-enter groups, which makes both of them grumpy!

Captain Greg also makes the point that if you have a query about your score or not seeing your name for a game on Golflink, please contact him within 7 days, or your card will have been destroyed.
