President's Report & Results Mareeba 17 May

Our game today was at Mareeba golf club and for a break from the normal routine we played a 4 ball aggregate event. There were 87 men and 13 women entered in the event and all seemed happy with the different format.

We welcome 3 new members , Peter Buckman from Temora. Geoff Maguire from Cairns and

Noel Pearson of Half Moon Bay.

The sponsor is BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB AND FULLER SPORTS and thanks to them for the gift cards that I am sure the winners will enjoy spending on food and beverage,concert tickets or merchandise at either of these venues.

It is my sad duty to inform members of the death of Jim Liston in a car accident at Yungaburra on Monday. I believe that Jims' wife is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. I am sure we all wish her a speedy recovery and send our sincere condolences to her and all the family.

When we know of funeral arrangements we will inform on this site.

Next Game Mareeba 17 May

All,

Our game next week is at Mareeba & I'm told there have been no changes to the course.

It is a 4 Ball Aggregate comp, ie you need a partner & to record both scores, as they are added together for the comp total.  It also means you will be handicapped on your score.

The game is sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Cairns 10 May

Today 77 men and 18 women played in the first round of the Ted Thomasson Memorial Shield at the Cairns golf Club and found the course in excellent condition after the weekend open tournament, and the autumn day was also a joy for those out on the fairways.

The Ted Thomasson Memorial Shield is awarded at the presentation day to the player having the best three aggregate stableford scores from the five nominated rounds.

The sponsor today is DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and I wish to thank Deb for the support she gives to our association. The prizes today were vouchers from the Cairns club proshop.

We are pleased to welcome two new members to our ranks. They are Gordon Noble and Timothy Hollman who are both from Half Moon Bay club.

Just a reminder that next week we play a 4 ball aggregate at Mareeba. This means that although you are playing with a partner, both scores count on every hole and you will still be handicapped on your individual performance.

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford event, being the first round for the Ted Thommason trophy.

The game is sponsored by Deb Duffy Real Estate.

I'm told the course is in good condition, so hopefully the rain will keep away as it should at this time of year.  However, in case we do have a sprinkle & you don't fancy walking around in what could be heavier conditions, we remind you that the club has kindly agreed to carts for $30 for our members.

See you there.

Louis
