President's Report & Results Atherton 19 Mar

Hi Members,

Today`s game was back to normal with a single stableford at Atherton Golf Club with 40 starters consisting of 34 men & 6 ladies. Today`s sponsor was the REEF CASINO, a new sponsor for the FNQVGA in 2019 and hopefully will become a regular sponsor in the coming years, welcome to the REEF CASINO.

Congratulations to the brave 40 members who turned up for a game and nearly all completed their round as the weather was very ordinary but the course was in good condition considering the amount of rain that has hit us recently. Well done guys and gals a credit to you all for persevering.

Everyone should be now aware of the Mirage game programmed for Friday 14 June @ $35 per head incl buggy. For nominations please see Bob Billingham at registration as he has prepared a spreadsheet for those intending to play and will gladly accept the $35. This game was extremely popular last year and will fill up fast.

The Mirage game is an add on to our program and therefore we do not have a sponsor so the committee has decided to run 3 x 100 raffles @ $2 a tkt with prizes of $70 for 1^st & $30 for 2^nd for each of the 3 raffles which realises $300 for the lucky winners and $300 for the daily trophy winners so in effect our members be our own sponsor for the Mirage game. Please see either Bob or Andrina at registration to purchase a ticket.

The FNQVGA next game will be at Cairns on 02 Apr and Mareeba will be the venue for the final game of the Tablelands Summer of Golf next week as the Vets will resume our weekly games as programmed.

Robin Pres.
