NEXT GAME 4th July.

Hi golfers,
Our game on Tuesday is at Cairns and is a stableford event for the Ted Thomasson trophy. I had the pleasure of a game at Cairns last Friday and can testify that the course is excellent.
I look forward to seeing you all there,
Roger

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 27 June

Today we were elated to have 121 players for our stableford event at Half Moon Bay, this is easily our largest field for the season so far so the bar is set very high for Cairns next Tuesday. There were 98 men and 23 ladies and this included 10 new members from as far away as Green Beach inTasmania, Yallourn in Victoria, Charlestown, Cobram Barooga, Fox Hills, Kooralbyn Valley and right here at Half Moon Bay. With this little influx our membership has risen to 205 so far this year.

Our thanks go to Half Moon Bay club for making the course available to us and also for donating a carton of beer for a free raffle. The winner was Edna Atkinson so George will be pickled for several days. Thanks also to Mike and Gordon for cooking the hamburgers, I am told they sold out!!

The sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF OF CAIRNS and, once again I wish to convey my thanks to them for the vouchers and I hope our members will remember to support those businesses who keep our club viable.

Next Game Gordonvale 20 June

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Gordonvale, sponsored by Drummond Golf Cairns.

The course should be in great condition as it is hosting the Lord Mayor's Charity day on 16 June & the second rounds of its own Championships on 17/18 June.

However, as usual the drains are places to be avoided!  There is still some water in places & the rough on the banks, although mown where possible, is quite thick.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Atherton 6 June

Today we had 64 men and 8 women for a single stableford at Atherton. This included 3 new members being Frank Toth from Darwin, now a resident of Kuranda as well as Gordon and Kathleen Smith from Melbourne. Welcome to you all.

The sponsor today was CAZALYS AFL CLUB and we thank them for the meal vouchers presented to the winners and runners up. I, like many of our members, can recommend the dining at Cazalys.

The course at Atherton lived up to the claim that it is the best it has ever been, the greens being true and quite fast with downhill puts well and truly sorting the men from the boys!! We must thank the staff and volunteers who prepare the course as well as Owen and Deborah for their hospitality in the clubhouse.

PS  We have been advised by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts that they will no longer continue to sponsor the Savannah Cup.  As we have a full program of comps, & as the calculations relating to the points system are time consuming, we have decided to discontinue that competition.
