PRESIDENT REPORT –BABINDA GOLF CLUB 06 Jul 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Babinda Golf Club and there were 59 players consisting of 48 men & 11 ladies. There were five new members, Warren & Jo Affleck (ex Millaa Millaa) from Mandalay Vic, David Heron from Mossman, Chris Hannam from Babinda and Noel Webster (ex Treasurer) from Cairns, great to see some old and new faces back at the Vets, enjoy your stay with us.

Many thanks to the volunteers who maintain the course as it was very green and lush. Also thanks to Bernadette, Gabrielle, Chris Hannam and the on-course drinks girls who kept the water up to us throughout the day. There was a meat tray raffle organised by Babinda GC and it was drawn today, unfortunately, I forgot to get the winners name but whoever won it I am sure they are happy.

One of our members lost his range finder somewhere on the course, it was not handed in but if anyone found it please call Tony on 0456778492.

Our sponsor today was GOLF WORLD (GW) once again a great sponsor to the Vets, please support GW when in need of anything golf.

Today was very special for me as I had been trying to present Wal Anthony with his 2019 Patron`s trophy for 18 months, unfortunately every time I tried poor old Wal`s illness got worse and we could never get our timing right. So today at his course Babinda, I finally presented his trophy from 2019 to his wife Bernadette & daughter Gabrielle with much love from the Vets as Wal was very special to us all. Bernadette displayed her appreciation in her acceptance speech with much love back to our members.

Next weeks game will be a single stableford event at Atherton Golf Club and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, I hope to see you all there.

Robin

President
