President's Report & Results Mareeba 7 Feb

Today was the opening day of our 2017 season and we began with a 4 ball better ball at Mareeba Golf Club. We were fortunate to be playing Mareeba as they have not had the amount of rain the coastal clubs have endured so the course was quite playable, although playing a little longer than usual.

There were 57 men and 10 women in the field today which was a little disappointing considering many golfers have been missing their game lately due to the weather. Hopefully the field will increase in a fortnight at Gordonvale and don't forget the tableland summer golf is at Millaa Millaa next Tuesday.

We are pleased to welcome 2 new members, being Russ Carlyon from Bowen club (although resident in Cairns) and Judy Gusswell from Gordonvale.

The sponsor for today was CAZALY'S AFL CLUB and we are pleased to present the winners and runners up with meal vouchers redeemable at Barassi's restaurant at Cazaly's.
