Savannah Cup Leaders as at 30 Mar

IMPORTANT:

The new Savannah Cup program is basically an automated program. The results as they appear on our Golflink site are copied and pasted to a worksheet in the program. A formula compares the Golflink numbers on the sheet with Financial Members of the FNQVGA. If it is determined that a player is either not financial or is a Visitor, an error message is displayed. That person is removed from the results and the program recalculates the positions of players in the field, including the ties. This new result sheet is then copied and pasted to a second page where the program then determines the points to be allocated to each player and adds them to the player's progressive total.

In line with Association policy, to gain points in this and other major competitions, a player must be a financial member of the FNQVGA. It is also important that the Association be aware of your correct Golflink number. If you change Clubs during the season, please inform the Secretary or Treasurer of that change so that the Association records can be updated.

Vice President's Report & Results Gordonvale 29 Mar

Today we welcomed 79 players (61 men and 18 ladies) to todays event which was a single stableford and the players enjoyed a perfect sunny day, humidity was bearable and a cool breeze was present.

The course was in good condition obviously with the rain over the last week off the fairways although the grass had been cut was thick and still holding moisture in some areas. In all good playing conditions which made for a pleasant round of golf.

The sponsor today was CAZALYS AFL and I thank them for their complimentary meal vouchers and appreciate their continued support.

Next Game Gordonvale 29 Mar

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford at Gordonvale.

It is the first of our Consistency rounds & is sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

The course is OK, but don't expect much run.  The rough in the drains is high & they also have water in them, so avoid them as usual.  Depending on what weather is experienced between now & then, hopefully the rough off the fairways will have been cut before our game & bunkers will be in play, but check the board before you go out.

See you there.

Louis

President's Report & Results Atherton 15 Mar

Today a disappointing 51 men and 11 ladies bothered to make the trip to Atherton on what turned out to be a perfect day for golf with slightly overcast skies and a cooling breeze. 

The course was presented in perfect condition with good fairways and very good greens.With this in mind I urge our members from the coastal clubs to plan early for our next game at Atherton on 26^th April and arrange a car load to go up there.

The sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF OF CAIRNS and I thank them for the vouchers that the winners took home.

Claud Clark has an electric buggy with a new battery he's prepared to lend to anyone who needs one.  If you want to take up his offer, give him a call.  If you ask sweetly, he may even be prepared to sell it to you (for the right price).

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 1 Mar

 83 men and 15 women played Half Moon Bay today and although the weather was a little threatening at first the sun broke through to give us a fine sunny day.

The sponsor for the event was GOLF WORLD OF CAIRNS and we thank them for the vouchers played for today and commend them to our members.

We also thank Half Moon Bay club for giving a carton of beer to be a prize drawn among those who stay for the presentations. The winner today was Deon Reddicliffe who took home the beer and a husband grinning like the proverbial “Cheshire cat”.

Manager Greg Ferry has indicated that this will be a regular feature when we play there so it may well pay to stay and socialise a little longer.

It gives us no joy to have to disqualify players for handing in a wrong card so please, please check your card before you sign and hand it in, especially if you have had a good score.

I have a left handed 9 iron which was found on the course today so give me a ring and I will be happy to return it.
