President's Report & Results Mareeba 2 Oct

Hi All,

The game today at Mareeba was played on a course that was prepared today by Ron Cade and Michael and presented in an extremely good condition. The holes were cut in some “interesting” places. Some of which the majority of us had not seen before. However it was the same for all.

We had a relatively small field of 77 today, comprising 62 men and 15 ladies. The event which was the final one for the Association’s Consistency Trophy, was sponsored by BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB. Supporting our sponsors is essential if we are to keep our fees at a level that encourages the older golfers to keep playing this great game. So if your looking for a night out try a visit to Brothers.

We had one new member join today, and we welcome Ken Berriman formerly of Wauchope and Howlong and now, after resisting a number of overtures of Cairns members, is a member of H.M.B. A very wise choice.

We are approaching that time of the year when we encourage members to participate in the management of our Association by putting their names forward to serve on the Committee. When we conducted the survey last year, about 8 -10 members indicated they were interested in becoming part of the administration of sport. We usually only have four to five formal meetings a year, with several “email” meetings if required. Game day is obviously when the biggest effort is required but most of our Committee multitask and there is always someone there to help out if needed. If you think you are prepared to help out, please speak to any of the present or past Committee members and they will give you any information they can.

The game next week is at Cairns and I expect the course to be in very good condition. That will be my last game before leaving to live in N.S.W. so to those who won’t be able to make it there, thanks for your friendship over the years, allowing me to serve on the Committee in various roles and mainly the enjoyment of your company.

Yours in golf,

Greg.

“El Presidente”.
