HMB Game 3 May

Veteran Golfers

Half Moon Bay Golf Club is ready to host us tomorrow, the full course is open and nearly ready for their Open in a couple of weeks.

It is a Single Stableford sponsored FNQVGA.

This is one of the nine games for the Drummond Driver Competition, you will need to have played at least one game by this stage to be eligible to win the Taylor Made Burner Superfast 2.0 Driver donated by Drummond Golf. It is the aggregate of the best six scores out of the nine games, but you must play six games.

Results so far are available on request.

See you tomorrow!

Regards

Ross

Veteran Golfers

Thank you to the 72 golfers who played at Atherton Golf Club today.

Thank you to Atherton G.C. for the course preparation, there was quite a lot of run on the course, you wouldn’t believe it could dry out so quickly. The greens were very slick, very hard keeping some putts on the green. The course was in excellent playing condition.

FNQ Veteran Golfers Assoc. sponsored the event.

Roger Smith will be working on the scores for the Drummond Taylor Made Driver, as soon as they are available,  I will email them also  they will go on the blog site.

As I mentioned in yesterdays email, results and messages might be a little slow getting on the blog site for a few weeks, in the meantime I will also send the results by email.

Next week Tuesday 3^rd May is at Half Moon Bay Golf Club, it will be a Single Stableford followed by Mareeba Golf Club on the 10^th May 2011

Regards

President's Message 19th April 2011

The Cairns Golf Club prepared a long and difficult course for us today. It was quite a challenge. What a difference a week of fine weather does. Thank you Cairns for preparing the course for us.

Thank you to Golf World, Mulgrave Rd Cairns for sponsoring todays event, and their ongoing support of the Veteran Golfers Association

Thank you to the  131 players who enjoyed the playing conditions. Of the 131 players, 27 players were women, which, I am told is a record or close to a record number of women in a weekly event. Now that Women players 50 and over are full members of the Veteran Golfers Association it is good to see the number of women taking the opportunity.

I apologise for the change in the results as announced at the Presentation, when we are in a hurry to have the results ready sometimes there is a small  glitch, but it was picked up before general publication.

Next weeks game is at Atherton Golf Club on Tuesday 26^th April, it is a Single Stableford and is sponsored by FNQ Veteran Golfers Association. Following that game on the 3^rd May is Half Moon Bay Golf Club.

Good Golfing

Regards

Ross Bird
