President's Report & Results Cairns 28 Apr

Todays event was a single stableford at Cairns Golf Club. 106 players [80 men and 26 women] played the first round of the Ted Thomasson Memorial Shield, which is awarded each year to the player scoring the best aggregate of three rounds out of the five nominated on the draw.

Our sponsor was DEBORAH DUFFY REAL ESTATE and we thank Deborah for the support she is giving vets golf as she has agreed to sponsor all the events we play at Cairns this season.

Next week we travel to Mareeba & just a reminder that Savannah Lifestyle Resorts are having an Open weekend this weekend from 10am if you want to see what their homes and facilities are like.

Next Game Cairns 28 Apr

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Cairns golf club & is a single stableford being the first round towards the Ted Thomasson trophy.

The game is sponsored by Deb Duffy, a member of Cairns & a veteran golfer who has been in Cairns for thirty years.  She is a successful, independent Real Estate Operator & a Director of both REIQ and RTA, so if you are thinking of downsizing, moving, or buying a property for each of the grandkids, why not contact her?

I'm told the course is in good condition, so see you there.

President's Report & Results Atherton 21 Apr

Today we played a stableford event at Atherton.It was a consistency event and please note that all single stableford events throughout the season qualify for the Savannah Cup, now one of our major events to be presented at the end of the year.

It was rather disappointing that only 57 men and 11 women bothered to make the journey as the Atherton course is in great condition with greens putting true and at a reasonable pace. I recommend that you all organise a car load to attend our next game there on 19^th May.

Ian Tindall scored a hole in one at the par 3 11^th and I am led to believe that it is not his only ace in recent times. Well done Ian and I hope you have given that ball to the captain so it can be mounted on a trophy and presented to you on presentation day.

Today the sponsor was Golf World and we thank them for the support.  Also a special thank you to Treasurer Di  for turning up even though she was unable to play.

Our rule is that if there are not 60 players there will only be one grade for men.

Next weeks game is at Cairns Golf Club.

Tomorrow at HMB, Captain Greg will be offering for sale a number of drivers, putters, gloves, golfing books, et cetera.  The golfing gear was previously owned by one of Greg's golfing partners who passed away recently and his widow has asked Greg to see if he can sell them on her behalf.  The prices will be very reasonable, the gear is generally in very good condition with some of the items being brand new and still in their original packaging.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 14 Apr

All,

Our game next week is at Half Moon Bay, (so pack a few Yorkies balls!)

It is a single stableford Consistency event, sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

I'm told the course is in good condition, but Pres. Roger said he had some difficulty stopping his ball on the greens, which could be an indication they may be a bit firm & fast.

See you there.
