PRESIDENT REPORT – MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 29 Oct 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford at MAREEBA Golf Club with a good rollup of 85 golfers consisting of 68 men & 17 ladies. There was one new member, Warren Berry from HMBGC, welcome to the FNQVGA Warren.

Many thanks to Rod Cade & Ron Blake for arranging the carts, tea/coffee etc, much appreciated by all. The course was once again in good condition due to the hard work from the dedicated members of Rod`s crew, well done guys we will be back on 19 Nov 19.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO who have supported us throughout 2019, a great place to stay & play, you never know your luck, you may just win a trip to Vegas. Thanks Reef Casino for your continued support.

Today we had a surprise visit from our OLD President Greg Gibb (from somewhere down south), Greg was welcomed by all members back into the fold as if he had never been away and I can assure you all that he had a fantastic day and was over the moon to have received a ball in the rundown. There was an incident on the 17^th green whereby he putted from off the green and it was going to go off the other side when all of a sudden a Roo appeared from nowhere and caressed his ball to within 6 feet from the hole, unbelievable, and because he is such an honest John he deliberately 3 putted as he considered it unfair to the rest of the field. Apologies for going on a bit but I was with Gibbsy all day and it does rub off........

For those who know Lily Schirmer, she has recently had a quick visit to Townsville hospital and has had half a lung removed to get rid of that dastardly cancer thingy. The good news is that the op went well and I have been assured that Lily will be returning home either today or tomorrow to commence her recovery. From all of us at the Vets Lily our prayers and thoughts are with you & Keith and we hope to see your smiling face on a golf course when you are fully recovered, love to you Lily from everyone.

We also wish our Secretary Louis Siedle all the best for his current medical procedures and hope the treatment cures his ailment as well. Keep the faith Louis, love from us all.

Next weeks game will be on Monday 4^th Nov at Half Moon Bay GC due to the running of the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 5th. Please leave yourself a note for Monday next week.

Robin

President
