Draw for FNQ Veterans Open 30 Jun/1 Jul Cairns

CAPTAIN'S WELCOME

I would like to welcome all entrants and their partners to the Far North Queensland Veteran Golfers Association's 36 Hole Open Tournament being held at the Cairns Golf Club. This welcome is especially extended to those of you who have travelled long distances to participate and it is the hope of the FNQVGA that everybody has a great couple of days.

Attached is the draw for the event to played next Monday and Tuesday. You will find that in most cases, you will be playing at approximately the same time on both days. The majority of players who commence on the 1st hole on the Monday will commence play from the 10th on the Tuesday and vice versa. Whilst every endeavour has been made to accommodate your playing requests, please check the time sheets for any variations in your tee-times. Please collect your cards from the Registration desk which will be located inside the Club House.

HANDICAPS. It is essential that all players are aware of their EXACT Golf Link Handicap and use the available Look Up Charts to determine their DAILY handicap. IT IS THE DAILY HANDICAP THAT MUST BE ENTERED ON THE PLAYER'S SCORECARD TO COMPLY WITH RULE 6-2(b). To allow pre-printing of scorecards, all players have been entered into the computer system at Cairns Golf Club using the handicaps supplied by each of you in the Entry Forms you submitted. Every endeavour will be made to check your handicaps prior to you receiving the card. It is the player's responsibility to ensure that they are playing off the correct Daily Handicap on the day and this should be checked as soon as practical prior to the Tournament commencing. If a player's handicap has been increased or decreased, they are required to make a note of that fact on their scorecard prior to its return after the first round. ALL HANDICAPS WILL BE FROZEN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE TOURNAMENT.

It is requested that, at the conclusion of your round, prior to handing in your card, you enter your score into the computer kiosk in the Clubhouse. All that will be required to be entered is your total Stableford score and the score you had for the last nine holes. Whilst a great many Clubs are now using some form of computer system to process their competitions, there are others that are not. If you have any difficulty or reluctance whatsoever in entering your card, please let one of the people processing the cards know and you will receive assistance. By entering your cards, a live up-to-date Leader Board will be displayed on a T.V. set in the main Bar area.

There will be two Grades for the men and one Grade for women. The Men's Grades will be Division 1, 0-19, Division 2, 20-36. The Committee reserves the right to alter these Divisions on the first day. All ties will be decided by a count-back, last 9, last 6, last 3, and then individual holes back from Hole 18.

Any protests must be submitted to the Match Committee, as soon as practical after the completion of the round.
A full list of CONDITIONS of PLAY will be available at the Registration Desk.

I trust that everyone will have a great time, play great golf and enjoy the company of each other during their rounds and afterwards.

Thanks,
Captain Greg.

FNQVGA.

Played on 24th June
at Half Moon Bay Golf Club
124 Players


President's Report


99 men & 25 ladies made the most of a lovely cool day to play on a course in great condition. Congratulations to the greens staff.  It was a pleasure to play on a course without getting wet feet or requiring umbrellas, except to provide some shade.


Welcome to visitors Max Bignell of Howlong, Peter Buckman of Yallourn, Peter Stevens of Medway, Vic. & Gloria & Dennis Davis of Nowra.  Welcome also to new members Janine Cowan of Boweraville, Barry Sutherland of Macksville, Victor Lee of Cape Shank & Wayne Hoger of Half Moon Bay, bringing membership for the year to date up to 252.


Thanks to Greg Ferry &  the caterers for looking after us well as usual & to Brothers Leagues Club for sponsoring the day.


Our next games are our Open at Cairns on 30 Jun & 1 Jul.  The field is now full & the starting grid will be posted to this blog in the next couple of days, as well as being sent out to all members for whom we have an email address.  It will also be in the Cairns Post on Saturday.  Anyone belatedly hoping to get a game in on either of those days should ring Capt. Greg who will place them on a reserves list to slot into any gaps created by late cancellations.

If you can't get into our Open, Mareeba golf club have a Vets single stableford tournament on 4 July - $15 entry & carts need to be booked as they are in short supply. Nominations close on 28 Jun & forms are available by contacting the club on 40921528 or by email manager@mareebagolfclub.com.au.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 24 Jun

All,

Our next game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

This is our last game before our Open on 30 Jun/1 Jul, so now's your chance to get rid of all your old balls!

I'm advised the course is looking good with all 18 holes open, so let's hope this is the start of our fine winter weather after all the slop we've been having.

See you there.

Open Update - the Open starter sheet on 30 Jun/1 Jul is now FULL.  Anyone who still wants to get a game on those days can ring Capt Greg, but will only be placed on a reserves list at this stage.  The starters time sheet will be posted to this blog & in the Cairns Post nearer the dates, and you will be given plenty of notice when that occurs.

Louis Siedle

PS Thought for the day "To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target".

President's Report & Results Mareeba 17 Jun

President's Report & Results
of the Single Stableford Competition
Played on 17th June
at Mareeba Golf Club
72 Players

President's Report


Mareeba kindly managed to squeeze us in for a game after Atherton phoned to say they had copped a soaking over the weekend, carts were not permitted & the course was very slippery, so they reluctantly could not host us.  The change was fortunate as it rained more there today - they have our sympathy & members on the courses down here know exactly what they are experiencing!  


After emailing all those we have addresses for & posting the change to the blog, 56 men & 16 ladies turned up after a lengthy delay caused by an accident on the Kuranda range & enjoyed a pleasantly cool day on a course in good condition & dry underfoot.  Congratulations to the greenkeeper & all the volunteers.


Thanks to Col McDowall who acted as Treasurer (whilst Di went the long way round to avoid the accident) & for putting out the NTPs.  Thanks also to Raylene & Jon for looking after us & to Cazalys AFL for sponsoring the day.


Welcome to new members Kathleen Smith of Riverview, Ivanhoe, Vic, Gordon Smith of Pambula, Merimbula, NSW & Chris Gamble of Gordonvale, bringing our total for the year to date up to 241. Welcome back Adie & Ron Crispin of NZ.


Welcome to visitors Peter Buckman of Yallourn, Max Bignell of Newcastle & Gloria & Dennis Davis of Nowra.


Anyone who has given credit card details for their Open entries, please note these will be processed on or about the 25 June.  The draw for the Open will be posted to this blog shortly after that date & will also be published in the Cairns Post.  Depending on numbers, we may be able to accept some entries for the day comps, but they will be sent off at the end of the field.


Our next game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.
