President's Report & Results Atherton 21 Nov

The event today was a single stableford at Atherton. The field was a disappointing 56 men and 6 ladies and given the lovely cool day and the condition of the course those who did not go were the losers.

It is with some sadness that we say goodbye to Owen and Deb who are retiring to enjoy the good life so we wish them every happiness and look forward to having them as playing members of veterans when their travels are over.

The sponsor today was CAPE YORK ACCOUNTING and the winners and runners up received vouchers to enjoy the hospitality at BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB. I thank both these organizations for their continued support of veterans golf.

Members please remember that next Tuesday is the Annual General Meeting and the 4ball shotgun start will commence immediately after the meeting so please, please be registered before 8 AM.

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 14 Nov

Today we played an individual stableford at Half Moon Bay. There were 71 men and 14 ladies in the field . Welcome to new members Doreen and Lionel Law of Half Moon Bay, I sincerely hope you enjoy playing veterans golf.

The sponsor today was GOLF WORLD of Mulgrave road Cairns and I hope the winners enjoy shopping with the vouchers they have won today.

Thank you again to Half Moon Bay Club for providing the carton of beer for a free raffle at the presentations. The lucky winner was one of our relatively new members, Arthur Buckley, here is hoping he did not drink them all on the way home.

Once again I remind members that our Annual General Meeting is to be held on 28^th November at Gordonvale Golf Club and anyone interested in serving on our committee should get a nomination form from secretary Lou ASAP.

Also a reminder from Lois that if you want to order a shirt see her at next registration.  Shirts will be available in Feb on resumption of comps for 2018.

President's Report & Results Mareeba 6 Nov

The field of 70 (14 ladies & 56 men) was a little less than we usually hope for at Mareeba but I suppose that is because it is Monday and some will be having a long weekend with family. Nevertheless the course has benefited from recent rains and is very green considering we are well into the normally driest time of the year.

The sponsor today was GOLF WORLD of Cairns and the winners and runners up received store vouchers which they will hopefully put towards some new “score lowering” equipment.

I remind members that our Annual General Meeting is to be held on 28^th November prior to a shotgun start at Gordonvale Golf Club, so if you enjoy “vets” as much as I do, now is the time to consider serving on our committee. We have not had any representation from the tableland clubs for a few years now so think about it guys and girls. Nomination forms will be available in the coming weeks.

RESULTS.

MENS DIV 1 WINNER; Tim Hollman 41 points.

Next Game Mareeba MONDAY 6 Nov

All,

In recovery from jetlag, hence this late reminder that the next game is on MONDAY at Mareeba.

The course is still dry, so plenty of run, and is otherwise in good condition.  Gaby is expecting us, so you can be sure some of her apple turnovers will be available.

The game is sponsored by Golf World.

See you there.

Louis

Todays event was a single stableford at Gordonvale golf Club. The course is in superb condition after the recent rains with green fairways and excellent greens. This must surely be the first time I have ever played Gordonvale with the drain across the race track mowed all the way to the bottom. Well done to the greens staff.

We had 80 players which included 62 men and 18 ladies. Welcome to new member Kevin Walsh from Half Moon Bay.

The sponsor today was CAPE YORK ACCOUNTING who provided the Drummond vouchers presented to the winners and runners up in the three grades. I thank them for supporting our club.

Members please remember that next Tuesday is Melbourne Cup day and our game is on MONDAY at Mareeba.

Next Game Gordonvale 31 Oct

Greetings from Rome.

Your game next week is a single stableford at Gordonvale.

The game is sponsored by Cape York Accounting.

I've no idea what the course is like as I hear you've had some rain, but I'd still keep away from the Halloween gremlins in the drains!

PS. The game after that is our pre Melbourne Cup one at Mareeba on MON 6 Nov
