President's Report

49 men & 18 ladies turned up at Babinda on a beautiful day for a Patron's Trophy event. As there were under 60 men, there was only one division awarded for them & one for the ladies.

The course was in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways which brought drains into play if you were trying to lay up short of them. It is certainly a different course than when it is wet. Congratulations to the volunteers who maintain the course.

Thanks to Di Diversi who printed off a bundle of measurements to the drains. Thanks also to Wal Anthony for putting out the NTPs for us & to Tom Stager for supplying a bucket of balls to make up for those which ended up in the drains!

Thanks to the ladies for looking after us with cakes & sandwiches as well as manning the bar at the club. We sponsored the day as Colin was unable to pick up the vouchers from Masters, but we hope they will sponsor another day instead.

Welcome to visitors Ray Smith of Babinda, whose local knowledge paid dividends with a win!

Next game is at Cairns on 15 Oct, which is a 4BBB Stroke round.
