President's Report

A beautiful day saw a field of 78 men & 18 ladies turn up to a course in excellent condition with some pins in positions that had tricky breaks.  How pleasant to play a course with a bit of run again – we'd almost forgotten what it was!  Congratulations to Kevin Moore, the greens staff & volunteers.

We had another new sponsor for the day, Claud Caters Menswear, so if you are looking for some new gear, pop in & have a look at what they have on offer.

Thanks to Raelene for looking after us as usual with sandwiches & drinks.  Welcome to visitor Wally Alston of Tambo Valley, Vic & to new members Eric Toombs of Paradise Palms, John English of Half Moor Bay, Kevin Collins of Mareeba & Rosalie Rhodes & Bryan Guest of Sandy Gallop, Ipswich.  Our membership stands at 205 to date.

Congratulations to Wal Anthony for a very well deserved Certificate of Appreciation for Services to Golf volunteer award presented by Peter Castrisos, Chairman of Golf Qld recently.

We were sorry to hear that Hiroshi Hosaka had had a stroke whilst playing golf recently & is now in rehab at Cairns Base Hospital & send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Our next game is at Gordonvale & is a Ted Thomasson single stableford, sponsored by Cairns Total Physio.
