President's Report

Perfect weather greeted 102 men & 21 ladies when they turned up to compete in the final round of our Championship. The course was in fine condition & the greens were fast as we had been warned, with some of the pins in tricky positions, which seemed to pose problems for many players! Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to the bar staff & caterers for looking after us well as usual. Thanks also to Golf World, Cairns for sponsoring the event.

Welcome to visitors Albert Smith of Albury Commercial, Peter Brown of Jamberoo & Peter Buckman of Yallourn.

The results of today's round are below. The full results of the 2 day Championship will be posted when Captain Greg has been through the cards with a fine tooth comb, which will probably take several days.

NB When the full results are posted for the 70 & over & 75 & over categories, some people may notice they are in the wrong age group as not all the dates of birth we have on record are accurate. In that case, please contact Greg or myself to advise your real date of birth so we can make the necessary adjustments.

Next game is at Atherton on 20 August, & is another stroke round as it will make up the three games required for the Stanton Bailey trophy.

PS   I have heard that at Mareeba a member had a whinge to the lady at the bar about a couple of issues quite outside her control. This is not only bad manners but quite cowardly, as staff are not in a position to make an appropriate response. If anyone has a complaint on any matter at any of the clubs we play at, it should be made to the club Manager, or to a committee member who can take it up with the relevant person in authority at the club.

President's Report

A good field of 112 men & 22 ladies turned up for the first round of the FNQVGA Championships at Mareeba to a course in fine condition with all new greens in play, plenty of run on the fairways & perfect weather. Congratulations to the greens staff & volunteers.

Thanks to Raylene for looking after us well as usual with sandwiches & at the bar. Thanks also to Golf World, Cairns for sponsoring the event.

Welcome to visitors Albert Smith of Albury Commercial, Colin Hands of Wundowie & Peter Buckman of Yallourn & to new member John Gregan of half Moon Bay. Our membership for the year now stands at 304.

The full results of the first round of the Championship will be available at registration next week, but the best 10 in each grade will be posted to this blog shortly. If you don't see your name in either list, it may be that you were not eligible to play in the Championship rounds, but still qualified for our normal day comp. If you wish to query eligibility, please call Captain Greg Gibb, but as stated in an earlier blog you must have been a financial FNQVGA member for 2 months & played in at least 3 of the games in our program.

Next game is at Cairns on 13 August, which is the second round of our Championships & therefore another stroke round.

Next Game Mareeba 6 Aug

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Mareeba & is the first round of our Championships, so a stroke event in three grades - A grade to 18 h'cap, B grade 19-25, C grade 26 & up.

The course is in good condition although the greens have not been rolled, so will not be quite as fast as at HMB.

The two days of our Championships are sponsored by Golf World.

Please note that to play in the Championship, a player must have been a financial member of the Association for 2 months prior to the date of the Championship & have played at least 3 events in our program.

See you there.
