President's Report & Results Atherton 20 Mar

Hi All,

Mirage Update:

• CARTS – three members have offered to bring their carts to Mirage – another three would be ideal – contact Lou on 40453832 if you’re willing to add yours to the list.

• WITHDRAWALS – if you are aware that you will not be playing on the day, an early notification would be appreciated – again contact Lou with your name.

• REGISTRATION – 7am to 8am. TEE OFF – 9am. At registration your team will be allocated a Starting Hole. Rather than names, the Hole Numbers will be attached to the windscreen of the carts.

• NO WALK UP STARTS.

• PRIZES – The prizes will go from 1^st to 4^th place. 4 Dozen Logo Balls for N.T.P.’s and Ball Rundown.

Further information will appear in next Friday’s Blog.

MATCH REPORT

A bright, sunny but breezy day greeted 69 players at Atherton today, 3 Ladies and 56 Men. The course was in good condition but in places a little soft after the rain they have had up there. The greens were at their testing best with the pins in places not seen before. The event, a Single Stableford was sponsored by one of our new sponsors, STRATFORD PAINTING CONTRACTORS and we thank Gordon for his valued contribution to our organisation. If you need some painting done, he’s the man.

We welcomed four new Members today, Kandice Van Kleef from H.M.B. , Kay Cleland from Cairns, Grant Cupitt from Mareeba and Mark Johnson from Atherton. It is hoped that each of you have a long and enjoyable experience with the F.N.Q. Vets. Our Membership now stands at 156 comprising 119 men and 37 ladies.

TODAY’S RESULTS

The ladies put the men to shame today with Judy Guzzwell, the Ladies Winner, outscoring the winners of both Men’s Divisions. A great effort. For a change, we tried some different vouchers today sourced from Woolworths, giving access to Big W, Uncle Dan’s and B.W.S. The change appeared to be well received.
