President's Report & Results

of the Single Stableford Competition

Played on 2^nd April 2013

at Mareeba Golf Club

124 Players

President's Report

A beautiful day brought out 96 men & 28 ladies to play in our second Consistency event. The course was in good condition with the two temporary greens playing almost as well as the regular ones. The new greens look nearly ready to play on & should be an interesting challenge next time we are at Mareeba. Well done to the volunteers who have maintained the course so well pending the arrival of the new greenkeeper last week. He will have a job ahead of him preparing for the Mareeba Mitsubishi Classic on the 13/14 April, followed by the Mareeba Open on 20/21 April. If anyone is interested in playing in either of those events, contact the club for entry forms on 4092 1528.

Thanks to the new Manager Warren & his staff for looking after us & keeping everyone fed. It must have been a bit more hectic than normal, as there was a 2 day juniors coaching clinic on as well, which will be followed by an juniors Open event.   (I just wish such clinics had been available when I started 56 years ago.)

Thanks to TGT Hardware for sponsoring the day & also to Bruce Gilmour for taking on Col McDowall's jobs whilst he is swanning around down south, no doubt sampling plenty of the wines!

We are now back to playing weekly & our next game is at Mossman on 9th April sponsored by Norm Lockwood, so see you there.

PS I have a Ping Nanotech putter cover which was found on the course today which I will bring to Mossman.

Next Game Mareeba 2 Apr

All,

Our game on Tuesday is at Mareeba, is the second of our Consistency trophy rounds & is sponsored by TGT Hardware.

I'm told the course is in good condition with no surprises although some work has been done on some greens, so hopefully the weather will keep fine.

No doubt we will be well looked after as usual, so see you there.

Also, just a reminder that from this month we are back to our weekly games & in case you haven't noticed, the program is available to view by clicking on the link in the left hand column of this blog.

President's Report & Results 19 Mar at Half Moon Bay

President's Report & Results

of the Single Stableford Competition

Played on 19^th March 2013

at Half Moon Bay Golf Club

142 Players

President's Report

The course was suffering from less than normal rainfall with greens having had to be hand watered, but it was the same for all & the caterers were in good form, so thanks to the club for looking after a big field.

The weather looked a bit uncertain, but cleared up to a fine day, if humid, which did not deter a good field of 121 men & 21 women.

Welcome to visitors Jeff Harmer of Half Moon Bay & our sponsor's representative, Rusty Ellis of Brothers Leagues Club.  Many thanks to Brothers Leagues Club & I'm sure the winners will enjoy the meal vouchers there.

Welcome also to new members, Rodney Painter of Half Moon Bay, Russell Edwards, of Cairns, Peter Handley of Gordonvale, & Alec Ford & Jeff Murray of Mossman. Our membership for the year now stands at 216.

If you are looking for a game next week, the Tablelands Summer of Golf has an event at Atherton on Tuesday 26^th March.

Our next game is at Mareeba on 2^nd April, so hope that it is dry & to see you there.

PS - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,  We need FULL golf link numbers & home club noted on the score cards.  Your first name as well as surname would also help, as if you stuff up your golf link number (which happens too often), it helps to find you in Golflink.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 19 Mar

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Half Moon Bay & is a Single Stableford, which is the first of our Consistency events.

I'm told the course hasn't been getting much rain & they've been hand watering some greens, so you may find your approaches run on a bit!  That may change if the low brings some rain in.

June also advises that she will be running the raffle again, so even if you don't play too well, you can play for a ticket at your partners' expense!

See you there.
