President's Report & Results Gordonvale 18 Apr

The event today was a single stableford at Gordonvale golf Club. The course was very well presented with rough and fairways all cut and the definition of the fairway borders was quite impressive.

67 men and 18 women tackled the course.

We were pleased to see our past secretary Shirley Fieldhouse back at “ vets” as we have not seen her for some time. There was a loud cheer when it was announced that Brian Rowan turns 80 tomorrow, which explained the party hats worn by many of his mates, well done Brian, may you have many more.

We also welcome 5 new members, all from Gordonvale club. I hope they all enjoyed their day at “vets” and become regulars.

Lois Tait has asked me to advise that she is taking orders for club shirts from next week. The price will be $35 for these good quality shirts and a little extra to have your name embroidered on (in case you get lost). Payment required when ordering.

Bob Billingham has organised a block of accomodation for us at the national championships, 15^th to 20^th October and tells me he can still take more, so if you are interested you will need to book into the event at gogolfing.net.au and then check with Bob.

Our sponsor today was one of our members, Allan Dredge,who with his wife Carmelina own

STACK-A-POTS VERTICAL GARDENS NQ. They are situated at 17-19 Stanley St. Gordonvale and offer a range of stackable planters which suit many applications such as balconies, fences and patios, as well as hanging basket situations. Thank you Allan and Carmelina for the garden pots that the winners took home and the vouchers for the runners up.

Finally, I remind members that next Tuesday is Anzac Day so we will play at Half Moon Bay on MONDAY.
