PRESIDENT REPORT –GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 04 Aug 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Gordonvale GC was the 1^st round of the 2020 FNQVGA Championships, there were 108 players today consisting of 92 men & 16 ladies. There was one new member, Graham Dooley from Cairns GC, welcome to the Vets Graham. I must say a fantastic rollup considering what is going on in the world at the moment, a very dedicated group of people us Vets.

The course was in excellent condition and I am reliably informed that there are many volunteers as well as the ground staff that contributed to the condition of the course, well done to all concerned. Thanks very much to Belinda for organising the carts, foodstuffs & refreshments throughout the day. For members who have ordered carts please ensure you call to cancel if you are unable to make it as carts are limited. I appreciate whoever ordered the weather as it was first class.

A major talking point today was the position of the pin on the 16^th green, some sad stories were passed on but at the end of the day it was the same for everyone. Even though the game of the day is stroke, you still need to record your stableford scores as well so when Andrina inputs them into Golflink it becomes smooth sailing as it is extremely cumbersome for her to go through cards that have no stableford scores.

Our sponsor today and for the 2^nd round next week is GOLF WORLD, a very good sponsor to the Vets and a reminder to members when you purchase goods from Golf World please let them know you are from the Vets as they are recording our purchases for their 2021 sponsorship.

Next week`s game will be the 2nd round of our championships at Gordonvale GC, for those not playing in the championships please come along and participate in the game of the day.

Robin
