BABINDA RESULTS TUESDAY 3 SEPTEMBER

We arrived early to Babinda GC and were quickly served fresh bun loaf with tea & coffee to prepare us for our round.  And the hospitality just kept on coming with a wonderful lunch of home cooked corned beef on bakery bread sandwiches with refreshments.  A big thank you to Patsy, Bernadette, Lorraine, Addi and Gabrielle and the team for always taking such good care of FNQ Vets when we travel down to their Club.

On the subject of thanks, Dave the Greenskeeper along with Paul, Chris and John had the course looking fantastic and in prime condition after such a long tedious wet and was a pleasure to play in such sublime sunny conditions.

As mentioned in the earlier Blog, Babinda GC is a very challenging little course as a few of our new members found out, with the strategically placed "can't see" drains crisscrossing the fairways, it really makes it a thinkers course. One of the drains almost claimed a casualty with one of our members Di, as she tried to retrieve her ball and got sucked into the mud down to her knees and had to be snigged out! Hospitality was again shown by the Club when they cleaned Di up - and her shoes - and gave her a spare set to complete the round. You just don't get that anywhere and that's the reason we love to support these small country clubs.

Tuesday we played a Single Stableford for the 2nd Round of the Patrons Trophy which was sponsored by our valued sponsor Cazalys Cairns. We had 48 players - 36 Men and 12 Ladies.
