SECRETARY'S REPORT - CAIRNS GOLF CLUB - 29th November, 2022

 Hi Members, 

Today was our final game for the year followed by our Xmas lunch and Presentation of Trophies awarded for the year at Cairns Golf Club.

We had 91 players-: 69 men and 22 ladies- who participated in a Stableford round  All prizes for the day were presented and received by the players ( except we owe George Studham and Charlie Quarter a ball next year because they had left before presentation).  The weather remained fine for most players but unfortunately a few were caught in a downpour before they finished their game.

Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf and we are very grateful for their continued sponsorship. Georgia Buckle represented Drummond's at the Luncheon as Darren Golder was unable to attend. Thank you so much for coming Georgia.

We also had a guest speaker - Dr Sebastian Moss from FNQH Skin Cancer Centre  who gave a talk on the importance of yearly Skin checks for skin cancer.

Thank you so much to Jessie, Chloe and the bar staff for looking after us so well in the morning and during lunch. Also thank you to Evie and Laing who managed to accomodate the players with their carts early this morning.

This will be the last time that I write the blog - Peter and I would like to wish all our members a very Merry Xmas and a healthy, happy 2023. We would like to wish the 2023 Committee all the best for 2023. (Thank you to Dee Kottnig for nominating to be Assistant Treasurer today)

Happy Golfing

Regards

Liz Edmonds

As a result of a change in dates due to next week's AGM at Mareeba, we played at Gordonvale today.  (we gave constant notices of this change of dates for a month)  We had 49 players attend - 42 Men and 7 Ladies.  It was a very hot day - fortunately there was a liitle breeze at times.

Thank you to Jonathan and Jessie for helping us to  get carts etc. this morning. The course was in good condition - very dry except for the greens. There was a lot of run which obviously helped the scoring.

Our sponsor today was Reef Casino and we are very grateful for their support over the last few years and they are sponsoring us  again in 2023.

***** Next week we are at MAREEBA for our AGM.  Please make sure you register well before 8.00 am as the meeting will be starting at 8.00 a.m. It is a shotgun start at 8.30 am. We hope to see you there.**********

SECRETARY"S REPORT & RESULTS - ATHERTON GOLF CLUB - Tuesday, 8th November, 2022

 Hi Members,

Today we arrived at Atherton Golf Club to a  grey sky and light drizzle  - thankfully it cleared quite quickly to a lovely cool day. There were 59 players - 51 men and 8 ladies who played a Stableford round.

The course was in great condition - however the greens had recently been sanded which meant that putting was interesting until they dried out.  The course has obviously had a lot of projects happening to improve it. Carl and his ground staff are doing a great job.

Thanks to Cheryl and Russell (Pup) for getting us going with carts and lunch orders this morning and Cheryl was there after the game to provide drinks and lunch orders. It is greatly appreciated.

Our sponsor today was Bill Matthews (President)

Next Tuesday, we are at GORDONVALE for our game. We hope to see you there.

By the way we still need a President and Vice- Treasurer for the 2023 Committee. - Please see me next week if you would like to nominate for one of the positions

Regards

Liz Edmonds

The course was in very good condition - the greens were very green and lush - some felt they were slow - it depends what you experience  at your home course. Thanks to Grant (greenkeeper) and his crew. Thanks also to Daniel who provided members with their carts in the morning and also Steve who was at the bar when we came in at the end.

SECRETARY'S REPORT & RESULTS - GORDONVALE G.C. - 18/10/2022

 Hi Members.

 Today we played a Stableford round at Gordonvale G.C. - 68 members took part - 56 Men and 12 Ladies.  The fairways were very dry and the ditches were mown down which meant there was a lot of run - the scores certainly reflected this. The greens were green and in very good condition so obviously there has been a concentrated effort on them.

We would like to thank Samantha and Peter Walters for their early start -  getting the carts out  ready for the players; providing coffee///tea  and selling drinks after the game.  Thank also to the ground staff for the condition of  the course.

Our Sponsor today was Brothers Leagues Club and thank you so much for your continued support - it is greatly appreciated by the members.

Next week our game is at CAIRNS G.C. -hope to see you there.

Cheers

 Hi Members,

Today we played a Stableford round at Atherton Golf Club - there were 63 players who participated - 48 Men and 15 Ladies. The weather was perfect  and the course  was in great condition.

Our Sponsor today was Drummond Golf who have been loyal supporters of the Vets for a number of years now. If you need any golf gear, please talk to Darren and Georgia -  I am sure they will help you with the best price.

We would like to thank Cheryl and Russell for being there at 6.30 am  to help us with carts, food orders, and coffee// tea etc. Also thanks to Carl and his ground staff for the excellent condition of the course.We are also impressed with the improvements that are happening.

We have to notify members of a  program date change and we apologise for the late notice but we only found out a few days ago . Due to a plumbing problem at Half Moon Bay golf course and as a reult  they could only open 9 holes for us so we made a change.

Good News:

 Also Half Moon Bay will be charging $32 per cart from now on.

SECRETARY'S REPORT & RESULTS - ATHERTON GOLF CLUB - TUESDAY, 21st JUNE, 2022.

Hi Members,

 Today we played a 2 Ball Ambrose  at Atherton Golf Club - 73 players took part - 52 Men and 11 Ladies.We welcomed 1 new member today - Robert Mills from Innisfail - we hope he enjoyed the day. Despite the cold wind and the frequent scattered showers throughout the round, it was an enjoyable day.

  The golf course was in excellent condition - Carl and his team need to be commended for their work. We also noticed quite a few improvements since our last visit.  Thank you also to Cheryl and Irish who are always so helpful and make us feel very welcome.

Our sponsor today was Chiropractic Works on Sheridan St, Cairns. Today was the 1st time they had sponsored the Vets and we thank them for their support. I highly recommend Nathan and his team as they have kept me pain free and upright so I can walk the golf courses we play at. 

Next  Tuesday, our game is at Half Moon Bay Golf Course. See you there!

Regards,

Liz Edmonds

Secretary

  Today we played a Stableford round at Cairns Golf Club - we had 103 players; 22 Ladies and 81 Men. We welcomed 4 new members ; Lance and Rhoda Pedrana; Ian Tracey; Steven Pawliw. Lovely to see that Margaret and Tom Finch have aslo returned for their yearly visit.

Our sponsor today was Cairns Golf Club  and we thank Matt very much for his support of the FNQVGA. We also wish to thank Brie and Evie in the Pro Shop for their help and Chloe and the bar staff for making the lunches, coffee and drinks throughout the day.

Tim and his ground staff have done a great job on the course even with the irrigation scheme being installed. There might be some lumps and bumps around  the course but it will certainly be worth it in the future.

We are organising a raffle to raise some funds for our championships this year.As from next Tuesday, we will be selling tickets and a list of the prizes will be on the desk at the front. Please see Russ, Peter or Bill to purchase them. The tickets will be $2 each or 3 for $5.

SECRETARY'S REPORT & RESULTS -MAREEBA G.C. - 7th JUNE, 2022

 Hi Members,

 Today we played a Stableford round at Mareeba Golf Club - 66 members  - 13 Ladies and 53 Men took part.  Welcome to 2 new members - Sheryl Haworth from Cairns G.C.and Terry Kelly from Woodford G.C. - we hope they enjoyed the day.

The course was in excellent condition so we didn't have any excuses for bad golf ! Thanks to Michael and his band of volunteers for their effort. Thank you to Wendy who always takes very good care of us.

Just a reminder - If you order a buggy and do not intend to play on that day, can you make sure that you ring and cancel it. We had 4 buggies that were ordered and not used today and there were members who would have played if one was available.

Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf - their support of FNQVGA is very much appreciated and has been for quite a few years. Please don't hesitate to call in and see them if you have any golfing needs.

On a very sad note:  A past committee member and valued friend of the Vets, John Everall passed away last weekend after a battle with cancer. Our thoughts are with Chris, his wife, and family at this sad time.

Next Tuesday, our game is at Cairns G.C. - see you there.

Regards,

Liz Edmonds

Secretary.

CHANGES IN THE FNQVGA COMMITTEE IN 2023

  Hi Members,

  As you are probably aware, change can happen very quickly when one of the committee suffers a serious health problem as in the case of Robin Tonks. Fortunately we had a Vice President - Bill Matthews - who could step into the role.

  We are writing to give you fair warning that at the end of 2022, 4 members of the committee will be retiring from their present roles. They are Liz and Peter Edmonds, Lois Tait and Russ Gill. We have served on the committee for 3 years or more. While we thoroughly enjoy our time on the committee, it is time to give others a go.

  Therefore the committee for 2023 will look as follows:

 President:                  Bill Matthews

Vice President            Vacant

Captain                       Vacant

Vice Captain              Vacant

Secretary                    Vacant

Treasurer                    Bob Adams

Assistant Treasurer    Vacant

Committee members   Nil

As you can see, we need our members to seriously consider taking a role in the committee. We will still be active members of Veterans golf and willing to help those that volunteer.

FNQ Veterans golf is very valuable to our members as they get to play at different courses each week at a reasonable cost.  It is also important for golf clubs in the region because it provides extra revenue for them.

This blog is for your information and serious consideration. Please don't hesitate to discuss it with us.

Regards

Liz Edmonds

Secretary.
