President's Report

 Congratulations to all those who checked their emails or this blog about the restricted numbers game at HMB today.  We only had a handful turn up without booking with the pro & a field of 47 men & 11 ladies turned up to a course in surprisingly good condition with fast greens after 200mm of rain over the cyclone period.  Thanks to the greens staff & volunteers who were clearing up the debris caused by high winds.  The inner 9 holes were an interesting variation on our usual game there.

As the numbers for the game were restricted, the comp was run as a single stableford in one grade for men & one for women & will not count towards the Consistency or Savannah Cup points.  The Veteran's Grand Slam of Golf game (see earlier blog post on 3 Apr) will be rescheduled for our next game at Cairns on 29 Apr.

Thanks to Greg & the caterers for looking after us & to the Pro for taking the bookings for us.

Welcome to our visitor Aiden Jeffery from Suffolk, UK.  We hope you enjoyed the day & will come again. Our membership stands at 188 to date.
 
Our game next week is at Atherton, so fingers crossed for some decent drying weather.
