PRESIDENT REPORT –MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 29Sep20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mareeba GC, there were 93 players consisting of 73 men & 20 ladies. We had one new member, Warren Galligan from Half Moon Bay GC, welcome to the Vets Warren.

The course was in good condition considering there has hardly been any rain recently, the weather was great but very windy which kept the scores down from the norm. Once again Ken & Gabi looked after us and made us feel welcome playing on their course, many thanks to you both.

Our sponsor today was Brothers Leagues Club which is greatly appreciated by our members. Please drop in for a meal and toss a couple of $s in their pokies at your leisure to show your appreciation of their support to the Vets.

Due to the fact that COVID-19 is still on the radar and numbers are limited within the clubs, the scheduled games at Gordonvale (AGM) 24 Nov & Cairns (Presentation Day) 01 Dec will now be amended to single stableford events at normal starting times 0700-0800 in lieu of shotgun starts. The AGM will take a different shape this year due to social distancing rules, last year`s minutes and all 2020 Reports will be available at Gordonvale 24 Nov for members to peruse and either approve the content or contest any part.

Andrina will be able to assist any queries posed and respond prior to the completion of the days event. Nomination forms for the committee are available so if anyone is interested in joining us, positions required are;

Vice President and Assistant Treasurer, please think about it as many hands make light work.

All other positions are being filled by the current members however, if there is an interested member for any of the remaining committee positions please complete the nomination forms and pass them to Andrina for further action.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Cairns GC and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, Gordon Perry himself, hope to see you all there.

President Report & Results for Mossman GC 22 Sep 20

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB 22 Sep20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mossman GC and once again our members turned up in droves, there were 102 players consisting of 80 men & 22 ladies. There were four visitors, Tony Monahan, Cobram Barooga, Chris McSween, Emerald Downs, Tano Caltibiano & Malcom Mckellar both from Mossman GC. There were seven new members, Peter Constantine, Julie Hooker, Bernie Boon & Neil Slyney all from Mossman, John Bell from 13^th Beach Vic, Jane Gryg from Cairns and Sandyl Kryiazis from HMBGC, welcome to the Vets one and all.

The course was in great condition and the weather was even better, many thanks to Lisa for getting us all out on the course safe and sound and for the Mossman GC committee for agreeing to let us hold this extra unscheduled event on their course at late notice.

Our sponsor today was the Oak Tree Retirement Village who actually sponsored us for 2 games earlier in the year but due to COVID-19 those games had to be cancelled. This extra game gave us the opportunity to move their sponsorship to the Mossman game which was greatly appreciated by our members. The Village Manager, Glen Donovan represented Oak Tree admirably and played a very good game of golf, we need to keep our eye on him and his handicap may require an adjustment.

Once again I need to applaud the FNQVGA committee for their very professional work week in and week out for all of the administrative tasks needed to complete games from go to whoa, well done team.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Mareeba GC and the sponsor will be Brothers Leagues Club, see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT –MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 08 Sep20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Mareeba GC was a stableford event and there was a really good turnout of 95 players consisting of 77 men & 18 ladies. There was one visitor from Mareeba GC, Chris Benjamin and there was one new member also from Mareeba GC, Grahame Doeblien welcome to the Vets Grahame.

The course was in great condition and the temporary green on the 13^th was excellent, well done to Rod and his team and the weather was fantastic. Thanks very much as always to Gabi for the manner of which she looks after all of us and to Ken Baker for getting the big crowd going.

Our sponsor today was Stratford Painting Contractors (SPC) and the owner Gordon Perry fronted up for a game, good to see him mixing it with the best. Gordon`s motto is “there is no paint job too big or too small”, please contact Gordon when any painting is required.

I spoke briefly about committee positions that will become vacant at the AGM later in the year, if anyone is interested in coming on to the committee to lend a hand please see our Secretary Liz and she will take your details. Due to the COVID-19 we are still unsure of how the AGM will look like in Nov so we need to be prepared for whatever the situation is come November.

My thanks go out to Andrina for stepping up to the mark as Captain whilst Wal has been ill and also to Doug for taking everyone`s money each week but more importantly they have both been at the desk at 0630 every week. Well done to both of you and your efforts are appreciated by all members, both will be leaving the committee at the AGM.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Babinda GC and the sponsor will be the REEF CASINO hope to see you all there.

President Report & Results Millaa Millaa GC 01 Sep 20

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB 01 Sep 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Millaa Millaa GC was a stableford event and there fewer numbers than normal, 51 players consisting of 38 men & 13 ladies. There were two visitors, Russell Horn from Gatton and Warwick Howarth from Millaa Millaa. There were three new members Gary Pozzi and Jenny Barrett from HMBGC and Greg Taylor from Millaa Millaa, welcome to the Vets in the Far North.

The weather was very cold early considering it was the first day of Spring and took it`s own good time to warm up but the sun eventually shone down on us and we stopped complaining. Many thanks to Margaret for the early brews, toast and hot food post game. The course was in very good condition and the volunteers are to be congratulated, well done to all at Millaa Millaa GC.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF, please support Drummonds when purchasing golf equipment as “they will lift your game”. Many thanks to Darren and his team.

Your Committee is currently sorting out options for the AGM at G/Vale and the Presentation/Lunch Day at Cairns at the end of the year. These games have become difficult due to the social distancing requirements imposed on us by the authorities as numbers in the clubhouse are very limited. Keep your eye on the blog as we have a couple of months to sort it out and rules may get relaxed the further we go.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at MAREEBA GC and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, hope to see you all there.

TODAY`s RESULTS:

MENS:

Winner: Only 1 Division due to the low attendance,

Winner: Grant Scott on 39pts

Runner Up: Greg Taylor on 38p

Ball Rundown:

The Captain decided to give out balls to those that played to their handicap which was Ross Ellen only on 36pts and a ball was given to all members who remained for the Presentation who did not receive a prize. Looks like it may be beneficial to stay back for the presentations as you can never pick her mood.

LADIES:

Winner:Moira Stephens on 34pts

Runner Up: Doreen Law on 31pts
