PRESIDENT REPORT –GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 24 Nov 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Gordonvale GC and there were 89 players consisting of 70 men & 19 ladies.

The course was dry and firm due to very little rain in the region however, the greens were excellent and the credit should go to the greens staff as they have obviously put in a lot of hard work, big scores below attest to that. The weather was great yet fairly hot but there was a breeze every now and then. Thanks to Belle for getting us out on time and for setting up the upstairs so we could conduct our 2020 AGM in the comfort of the aircon.

Our sponsor today was Cape York Accounting, once again they have supported the FNQVGA for years now and all members have appreciated their continued support.

The 2020 FNQVGA AGM was conducted today with no real issues. Retiring from the committee are Andrina Wilson, Doug Christison & Bob Billingham, members thanked them for their dedicated work and wished them well in their future endeavours. Welcomed on to the committee for 2021 are Ric Gooderham and Jane Taylor, we hope you enjoy your stay with us.

Next week`s game will be our final game for 2020 and it will be a single stableford event at Cairns GC and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, this will not be our normal shotgun start, Xmas dinner, Presentation Day due to COVID-19, it will be as usual registration 6.30 and tee times commencing at 0700-0800 on both tees. Hopefully 2021 will be back to normal and we can then resume our regular Program including NTPs etc.

Louis Siedle`s Passing & Funeral Information

 Hi Members,

It is with much regret that I inform you that Louis Siedle passed away last night at 9pm at the Gordonvale Palliative Care Facility. Louis has had a very hard year with his health and it has been a very difficult struggle for him but he has finally moved on to the golf course in heaven where the greens are true and the fairways are lush.

Louis acted in every committee position on the FNQVGA Committee for many many years and was instrumental in getting this blog up and running. His leadership and guidance to me personally has been invaluable and I will miss him dearly. I have been informed that his service will be at the crematorium but unsure when, please check notices in the paper for further notification and if I am advised I will post a blog immediately.

I have just been advised that Louis will be cremated at the Mt Sheridan Crematorium Chapel on Thursday 26 Nov at 10am. This will be a memorial service only and there can only be a maximum of 25 people inside the crematorium but plenty of room outside for those wishing to attend and pay their respects.

Louis`s passing is a huge loss to all of us golfers in the FNQ and on behalf of all members, committee past and present our deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Rest in peace Louis.

PRESIDENT REPORT –CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 10 Nov 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Cairns GC and there were 87 players consisting of 69 men & 18 ladies. We were on the course at 7am and all finished by 1pm a good effort by all members, well done to you all for keeping the pace of play up to speed. There was one new member, Kevin Cluff from Cairns GC, welcome to the Vets Kevin, I hope you enjoy your stay with us.

The course was in great condition again as Tim and his crew do a great job week in week out, congrats to all. Many thanks to Brie and Ben for getting us out on time and sorting out the carts etc. The weather was absolutely fantastic and with the little bit of overnight rain it created a green tinge on the fairways.

An update on George Atkinson from his fall at Babinda last week, he dislocated his ankle and has had an operation to screw everything back together again and is in good spirits resting at home in front of the TV.

Our sponsor today was Stratford Painting Contractors (SPC), many thanks to Gordon Perry for his continued sponsorship, Gordon fully intended to play today but alas work got in the way again.

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

Presidents Report & Results from Babinda GC 2 Nov 20

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –BABINDA GOLF CLUB 02 Nov 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Babinda GC and there were 57 players consisting of 49 men & 8 ladies. There were two new members, husband & wife Maureen and Michael Gossip from HMBGC, welcome to the Vets to you both and hope you enjoy your stay.

The course was in very good condition and the greens were the best I have seen for a long while, thanks mainly to all of the volunteers from Babinda, special thanks to Tommy, Pete and Walter for their hard work on the day. We all wish Walter the best and a speedy recovery from his medical condition.

Our sponsor today was Cazaly`s AFL which is much appreciated by all members, if you have a chance please drop into Cazaly`s for a meal, drink or play your hand at lady luck on the pokies. Our sponsors support us so we do also in return.

There was an incident today whereby George Atkinson slipped on the bridge at the 1^st hole and it would appear he may have broken his ankle. The Halls were on the spot and called the ambulance immediately and George was taken away in a good frame of mind. When Edna passes on his condition I will air it on the blog as many members passed on their best wishes to George and hope to see him back on the course sooner rather than later.

On a lighter note one of our members, no names (Ray Greig) had his brolly up and a sudden gust of wind picked his buggy up and dumped it into one of the drains that was full of mud and water. He retrieved it and he had mud up to his knees and his bag was completely awash with mud and water throughout. He was still trying to get his phone to work when I left.

Things seem to always happen at Babinda, must be something in the air as there was mention of lost balls on the fairway that may have been inadvertently picked up in error, please do not pick up any balls that are not yours as we as golfers can spray them 2 fairways over.

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