VETS TOMORROW HAS. BEEN CANCELLED.

 Hi all,

VETS TOMORROW HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

HMB is open today, but dry nine only. There is no possibility of the full course being open tomorrow, so it will be dry nine only, and HMB would only be able to accommodate us if we could guarantee a field of 48 or less. Any more than that and we could not clear the first tee before the tee time for groups who have already booked for the local comp after us. So as I didn’t want us to be turning players away, which would be likely if the weather conditions remain as they are now, I had to agree to cancel our event for tomorrow.

HOWEVER, I’ve managed to negotiate a deal for any vet who does want to play tomorrow. $20 for a social 18 holes or $23 to play in the local comp, and carts still at the members rate $32.

BUT they will have to contact the club to book a time and cart.

So at least any of our members who would still like to play tomorrow can get a game despite the amount of rain we’ve had!

Cheers,

Captain Pete.

GORDONVALE TUESDAY 14

 The Veteran Golfer's  caravan traveled south to Gordonvale this morning to play an individual Single Stableford for trophies sponsored by the Hotel Reef Casino. We encourage our members to visit the casino but always remember to gamble responsibly!

Gordonvale green keepers Ben and Chook had the course in remarkable condition  for this time of the year. Pocket dynamo Sam, behind the bar, made us feel very welcome. Thanks to everyone at the Club.

We had two new members today Mal Armstrong(Millaa) and Stephen Day (Half Moon Bay) and a visitor from Millaa, Rod Armstrong.

A field of 47 Men and 9 Ladies took to the course in relatively mild conditions which only turned a little tropical once the sun came out through the clouds.
