President's Report & Results Cairns 25 Oct

Our game today was a single stableford and counted for points in the Savannah Cup as that is the only one of our cumulative events not concluded.

There were 82 men and 18 women who enjoyed the Cairns course in excellent condition with great fairways and fast but true greens.

Our sponsor today was DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and I hope that any of our members who know Deb will make a point of thanking her for her support of our club. The vouchers that the winners received are redeemable at the Cairns golf Club pro shop.

Members please take note that next Tuesday is Melbourne Cup day so our game is on MONDAY at Mareeba, also if anyone has a Brothers voucher that they have not used, please note that they expire on 25^th Nov so hop on in and have a few drinks or a meal with your partner.

President's Report & Results Atherton 18 Oct

(Apologies for these late results, but the Pres' internet access is out at present.)

Our event today was played at Atherton Golf Club on a beautiful sunny day. The course is in excellent condition with the fairways starting to dry a little.  The greens however, were lightning fast with any down hill putt a test of nerves (your correspondent 5 putted on one green with the fifth being around 8 feet in length).

There were 61 men and 6 women who entered the two person multiplication stableford event and most seemed happy with the variation as cards are still able to be assessed for handicapping.

The sponsor for the day was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB and the winners will be able to enjoy a few drinks or a discount on meals at either Brothers or Fuller Sports.

Thanks also go to Owen and Deborah for rising early to get the buggies ready and prepare the food for us.
