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.

Robin
