President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 7 Mar

Today we conducted a single stableford event at Half Moon Bay golf club and we had a field of 62 men and 21 women, this is perhaps a little disappointing, but as the weather was very hot we can expect that some would rather stay near the air conditioner.

The sponsor for the day was GOLF WORLD of Cairns and we are grateful for the vouchers provided to the winners and runners up.

I must also thank the Half Moon Bay club for providing a carton of beer as a prize in a free raffle for those at the presentations. The lucky player to take home the beer was Bob Turner.

Thanks also to Mike and Tarquin McManus for cooking the ever popular hamburgers to feed the hungry golfers.

After the game today we had a meeting of your committee where we spent much time discussing the dwindling membership of our club. We have decided to ask our members in a survey by email as well as at the games to seek your ideas as to what can be done better, eg.starting times, prizes and so on.

Other items on the agenda were a review of the Christmas breakup and our championships.

Next Tuesday will be the Tableland Summer of Golf event at Atherton.
