MIRAGE VISIT

Hi All,

As readers of this Blog would be aware the field for the game at Mirage on 27 March has been over-subscribed and that excess figure stands at 12 players. Captain Russ and I attended Mirage on Tuesday for discussions with the Manager. Geoff Peard. He advised us that he only had carts sufficient for 88 players not the 100 players who have paid their deposits. We discussed with him the possibility of a small number of players bringing their own carts to the game to allow the full field to play. He was quite amenable to this idea and has agreed to allow a small number of private carts to be brought to the course for the day. By agreement, we have set the maximum number of private golf carts at 6.

In a generous gesture, Manager Geoff also stated that he will give a $10.00 rebate for anyone who agrees to bring his cart up for the day. In line with this offer, F.N.Q. Vets will also put in another $10.00 making a total of a $20 rebate on the players overall $35 entry fee.This rebate will only apply to the cart owner and not to any passenger the owner might carry on the day.

As a result of the positive outcome of these negotiations we are asking that any player who has his own golf cart and is prepared to take it to Mirage on that day to please contact Secretary Lou on 4045 3832.  Lou will maintain a chronological list of those responding to this request and this list will be the basis of selecting those volunteers who are finally asked to assist. The cart owners selected to supply carts, as notified by Lou, will be the only ones allowed to bring private carts onto the course. (This request is only directed at those players who have already paid their deposits as entries have closed.) Lou would also like to hear from anyone who has booked to play at Mirage, but is now unable to play.

This request only applies to the normal two-person golf carts. Single person vehicles, such as tricycles and/or four wheel vehicles similar to mobility scooters are excluded from this request and cannot be used at Mirage. 

It is also necessary the golf cart should be covered by Public Liability Insurance. Most people who have Home Contents Insurance will find that they have a Public Liability Cover in their policy documents, usually to the amount of $20,000,000. Hoping all you cart owners can help out,


Greg,
