 Hi Members,

The next game is a 2 Person Ambrose event at Gordonvale GC on Tuesday 01 Mar 22 and I will just remind you of some rules re the game as there are many variations;

How to Play.

Both players tee off and then select the best ball and both players play from the selected spot and continue to do the same until the ball is in the hole.

Rules

Handicap is 1/4 of your combined handicap,

Medley event, men & women can play together,

6 drives minimum per player and mark the card against the player whose ball was selected,

There will be three prizewinners (1st, 2nd & 3rd) with a ball run and NTPs as per normal.

Hope to see you all there and if you have not got a partner we will pair you up with someone.

Regards

Robin

Today`s game was a single stableford event and we had 74 players consisting of 54 men & 20 ladies. There were 3 new members; Brian Smith & Peter Brady from Mareeba and Les Taylor from Millaa Millaa, welcome to the Vets gents.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF so anyone requiring golf equip please drop in and they will look after you. Many thanks to Drummonds for sponsoring the Vets in 2022 your support is much appreciated by our members.

The weather was superb and I only found out when I got home that it rained most of the day in Cairns, gotta love Mareeba.

Before I get into today`s results we had a very special birthday yesterday as Brian Norris turned 90 big ones, congratulations Brian you have achieved a great milestone and you still walk all of the courses, an inspiration to us all. The cake was fantastic Kay good job.

The committee met after the game to discuss various issues and one motion which was passed, the purchase a Point of Sale (POS) machine so we can tap our fees in the future and alleviate cash hangups. Many thanks to our Treasurer, Lois Tait for doing the legwork into the investigation of pros & cons of the POS machine. We hope to be operational within a couple of months so get ready to “tap & go”.

The Tablelands Summer of Golf game next week 22nd Feb is at Mareeba GC.

Our next game will be a 2 Person Ambrose at Gordonvale GC on the 1st Mar, hope to see you all there.

Regards
