President's Report

Another beautiful cool morning warmed up to a clear day with a gusty breeze getting up later. A field of 96 men & 39 ladies who turned up to play in day two of our Open. The greens remained firm & fast, which was again reflected in the scores. Thanks to the greens staff for getting everything in order for us to tee off promptly at 7am.

Thank you to the Gail & the caterers who did a great job of preparing enough sandwiches to keep the hoard satisfied at half time & also a lunch of fish or lasagne, chips & salad for each group at the end of the game, also to Natalie & the girls at the bar for keeping up with the numbers. Thanks also to Drummond Golf for sponsoring each day of the event, the Nearest the Pins & the overall Open.   We were pleased their representative Katrin was able to play today & present the prizes.

Once again the timesheet worked well. Thanks to Michelle in the office for helping with printing out records for us & keeping the system running.

I would in particular thank all the committee members who put in a great effort to ensure the day ran smoothly.  I received many congratulatory remarks on the competition which are due to their dedication.

This event has now become well established after 3 years & seems to retain its popularity, with our previous President Ross Bird coming up from Port Macquarie to play again, as did several others of our regular 'grey nomad' visitors. We hope to see more of you at our regular Tuesday games whilst you are in the area.

Next Tuesday we are at Millaa Millaa & as numbers over about 80 on a 9 hole course can cause a bit of congestion, please let me know if you intend to come to that event if you have not already done so today.
