President's Report

83 men & 25 ladies who turned up to play on a course in good condition enjoyed a beautiful day.  The greens were firm & fast but running true, so those who could putt were rewarded! Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to Cairns Taxis for sponsoring the day.  Thanks also to the caterers for looking after us well as usual.

Welcome to visitors Don Jackson of Darwin, Peter McGregor of Half Moon Bay & Max Hargreaves of Gundagai.  Welcome also to new members Harry Kennedy of Ballarat, Elizabeth & Peter Edmonds of Cairns and Pauline Vining of Half Moon Bay.

Our next game is the first round of our Championships.  It will be played at Mareeba & is a stroke round, so no pickups or gimmies!  Captain Greg has a spiel on how it will be run, gradings, handicaps etc, which will be published in a separate post, so please keep an eye on the blog.  

Prizes will be awarded in each grade for gross & net for each day’s winner & runner up & also for gross & net overall & as with the Open, a platter of sandwiches will be provided for each group after they complete their round, so see you there.
