Next Game Gordonvale 20 June

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Gordonvale, sponsored by Drummond Golf Cairns.

The course should be in great condition as it is hosting the Lord Mayor's Charity day on 16 June & the second rounds of its own Championships on 17/18 June.

However, as usual the drains are places to be avoided!  There is still some water in places & the rough on the banks, although mown where possible, is quite thick.

See you there.

PS  Lois is taking orders for club shirts at registration over the next couple of weeks, so if you want a quality shirt for a very reasonable $35 (slightly more for long sleeves), please see her.  She has some samples you can view.

PPS  If you're not golfed out, you may wish to play in the Mareeba vets Open on 7 July.  You can book and pay at manager@mareebagolfclub.com.au.

President's Report & Results Atherton 6 June

Today we had 64 men and 8 women for a single stableford at Atherton. This included 3 new members being Frank Toth from Darwin, now a resident of Kuranda as well as Gordon and Kathleen Smith from Melbourne. Welcome to you all.

The sponsor today was CAZALYS AFL CLUB and we thank them for the meal vouchers presented to the winners and runners up. I, like many of our members, can recommend the dining at Cazalys.

The course at Atherton lived up to the claim that it is the best it has ever been, the greens being true and quite fast with downhill puts well and truly sorting the men from the boys!! We must thank the staff and volunteers who prepare the course as well as Owen and Deborah for their hospitality in the clubhouse.

PS  We have been advised by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts that they will no longer continue to sponsor the Savannah Cup.  As we have a full program of comps, & as the calculations relating to the points system are time consuming, we have decided to discontinue that competition.

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 30 May

Today was another stableford round to count toward our ongoing Ted Thomasson Trophy. A field of 77 men and 19 ladies entered at Half Moon Bay and among those we welcomed new members Alan Moloney of RAAF Williamtown and Russell Wicks of Mareeba.

The sponsor today was GOLF WORLD OF CAIRNS and we were pleased to have Bob Westerman join the field as their representative. I hope that our members support the businesses that make our club viable whenever possible.

I played at the rear of the field today and was disappointed at the number of spike scuffs on the greens, particularly around the cup, so please golfers, if you do happen to drag your foot, tap the marks down for those coming behind. There was a pair of prescription sunglasses found on the course today so the owner can get them next week or contact me on 40394928.

Today is the last time we will see captain Russ Gill for 6 weeks as he is off swanning around the USA but we are lucky to have vice captain Wal Anthony standing in most weeks. Have a great trip Russ.
