President's Message 12th April 2011

Mossman Golf Club really gave us a very well presented course with beautiful weather as a bonus. I know a lot of work was performed yesterday so we could play the 18 hole course today. The course was dry in 98% of the area, the greens (some new) were in great condition. Thank you Mossman Golf Club.

70 players played a Single Stableford sponsored by FNQ Veteran Golfers Association. There were some very good scores as you will see by the results sheet.

This was the second round of the Drummond Golf Taylormade Driver competition.  There are still 7 games for you to get involved.

Next weeks game on Tuesday 19^th April  is at Cairns Golf Club and sponsored by Golf World, Cairns, followed by Tuesday 26^th April at Atherton Golf Club, sponsored by FNQ Veteran Golfers Assoc.

The game at Atherton is on a Public Holiday.  Thank you Atherton Golf Club for agreeing to take this event, I am sure we will get a good number of players on that day (as most us are on public holidays every day).

Regards

Ross Bird

Mossman Game 12th April

Veteran Golfers

The news from Mossman Golf Club is they will have the full 18 hole course open for the Vets tomorrow Tuesday 12^th April.  They are working hard to prepare the course for us and say the good weather today and over the weekend has dried the course to allow them do the preparation.

The Mossman Golf Club welcome the FNQ Veteran golfers to their course.

Tomorrow is the second round of the Drummond Taylormade Driver Competition. The event  is a Single Stableford.

The sun is out, come up to Mossman for a game.

See you there!

President's Message 5th April 2011

Veteran Golfers

Mareeba Golf Club presented us with a excellent groomed course for our Single Stableford Event.

The event was sponsored by TGT Hardware, Mareeba, thank you for your continued sponsorship.

54 players paid attention to the often talked about subject that “It doesn’t rain in Mareeba”. Early golfers from the coast were caught up in traffic caused by a tree falling across the road on Kuranda Range. Cars were allowed through because they could fit under the fallen tree. But to add to the woes there was some heavy rain at the time.

Mareeba stayed true to its word with just a very light misty shower.

Today was the first round of the 9 rounds of Golf for the Drummond  Taylormade Burner Superfast 2.0 Driver.  A leader ladder will start to be published after the 3^rdRound. Remember every game until the 31st May 2011 is included in this competition, you must play at least 6 games, the winner is the best aggregate score over six of the nine games

The wet weather is continuing to cause each weekly game to be managed. Next week 12^th April we are scheduled to play at Mossman Golf Club. I am speaking with the officials from the Club, they are predicting we may be playing a composite 9 hole course, which we will play twice. It is rated so the players can be handicapped. I will keep you informed by email and the blog when we hear the final decision. Please don’t be put off because it may be a composite course, come up and enjoy what is presented to us.

Regards

Mareeba Game 5th April

Veteran Golfers

I have been speaking with the people at Mareeba Golf Club this morning, the report is the course is in great condition, have only had about 4mm early Saturday and is not raining there this morning.

The staff have slashed the drains to improve finding balls and water run off.

The event is a Single Stableford and sponsored by TGT Hardware, who, we  thank for their continued support.

Hope to see you at Mareeba tomorrow.

Regards

Ross Bird
