Drummond Sponsorship

FNQVGA

DRUMMOND GOLF SPONSORED PRIZE

Craig at Drummond Golf Cairns has again sponsored a generous prize for the FNQVGA in 2012.

It consists of a Hunter R200 electric buggy from MGI – check it out on http://www.drummondgolf.com.au/golf-shop/motorised-golf-buggies/.

The competition for the prize will be played for between April & September, during our normal weekly competitions for the Consistency & Ted Thomasson trophies.

The best 12 out of the 17 single stableford rounds played will count.

The prize will be presented by Craig or a representative of Drummond Golf at our AGM.

Game Half Moon Bay 20 March - CANCELLED

All,

I've been advised that HMB golf course is closed as there is water everywhere & they can't get machinery on it, so there is no game tomorrow, even for the diehards with web feet!

The Manager at HMB advised he had difficulty even getting to work today, so that will give you an idea of how much water is around.

We have been very fortunate so far this season in only missing one game & having one rained off half way through, so this is an opportunity to practice your putting in your garage & watch your golf instructional tapes ready for our next game at Mareeba on 3rd April.

Hope to see you there,

Louis

Revised Program (front page only)

All,

Please note the revised program does not include the back page with details of the various competitions, which has not changed.

State Championships 14-15 May 2012 at Woodford

Just a reminder that the Queensland Veteran Golfers State Championships are being held at Woodford Golf Club this year on 14th & 15th May.  Entries close on 4th May.

If anyone is interested, entry forms can be downloaded from www.qvgu.com.au

For those who have not played Woodford, the locals are friendly & it is a very pleasant country course in rolling, well treed country with small, well bunkered greens & enough holes with teeth to make it interesting!  

There are several other good courses nearby to try if you have time, like Caboolture & Beerwah.  It is close to the city, beaches & hills, with plenty of good restaurants at Montville, an excellent cheese shop at Maleny, & the Australian Zoo in easy driving distance, so you have plenty of choice of things to do.

Cheers, Louis

President's Message & Results 6th March

President's Report &

Results of the Single Stableford Competition

Played on 6^th March 2012

at Atherton Golf Club

82 Players

President's Report

Atherton golf course was in great condition having not had anywhere near the amount of rain we had on the coast. The ball sat up well on the fairways, you could find the ball in the rough & the greens were running true, so congratulations to the greens staff.

The weather was fine & not too hot with rain holding off considerately until the last groups were in! Thanks to Owen & Debbie for looking after us well as usual & to the club for sponsoring the event. Expressions of appreciation were heard about the sandwiches which all disappeared.

We had a reasonable rollup for the time of year of 82 players. Welcome to visitor Gary Windle of Caboolture & to new members Drew Studham of Atherton & Gary Tudehope of Cairns. This brings our membership to 202 for the 2012 year.

If you are looking for a game next week, the Tablelands Summer of Golf has an event at Mareeba on Tuesday 13^th March with the same sign-on time of between 7 & 8am.

Looking further down the track, you may like to diarise some other dates:

A Tropical Coast Veterans Open event at Cardwell Golf Club on Tuesday 17^th and Wednesday 18^th July &

2012 Ingham Veterans Golf Open - Monday 23 July to Wednesday 25 July

Nomination Forms for these events can be downloaded from the QVGU website www.qvgu.com.au

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay on 20^th March, so hope that it is dry & to see you there.
