Presidents Report & Results for Tuesday 15 June at Gordonvale Golf Club

PRESIDENT REPORT –GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 15 Jun 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Gordonvale Golf Club and there were 82 players consisting of 69 men & 13 ladies. There was one new member, Cec Turner from HMBGC, welcome back to the Vets Cec. It was very pleasing again to see a good turnout this week and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves regardless of their golf score.

The course was great condition and the weather was absolutely perfect after the early morning fog lifted. Many thanks to Belinda for looking after us all day and all of the greens staff members and volunteers for their efforts on the course.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO “the only place to play” if you feel the need to have a punt or just relax please call into the Reef Casino. Their sponsorship is very much appreciated by all members.

I will leave this ad up for a couple of weeks as we really need assistance to balance our books. We are looking for an authorised auditor to audit our books towards the end of the year as our previous Auditor Harvey Blanche has moved south to be with his family. We are a non-profit organisation and would dearly like assistance as “pro bono” (freebie), Harvey said our books are the easiest records he has ever balanced and it only took an hour of his time for the annual audit of our books. If anyone knows of or is an accredited auditor who could possibly assist us please get in touch with our Treasurer Lois Tait or any member of our committee as our books have to be audited annually.

Next weeks game will be a little different and a fun game of a 2 person Ambrose at Atherton GC and Cazaly`s AFL will be the sponsor. Please do not worry if you do not have a partner as we will team you up with a very good player as all Vets are, hope to see you all there.

The course was in fantastic condition and the weather was equally as good, apart from the scores a great day had by all. Many thanks to the Cades for the condition of the course, I have never seen it better well done guys. Thanks again to Gabi & Wendy for looking after us throughout the day.

PRESIDENT REPORT –CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 01 Jun 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Cairns Golf Club and there were 76 players consisting of 64 men & 12 ladies. There was one new member, Graham Midgley from HMBGC, welcome to the Vets Graham. A very good turnout today considering it rained most of the evening but today ended up being sunny and almost all players got home before a couple of sprinkles hit later in the day. The course was very damp underfoot but playable thanks to the grounds staff, the preferred lies throughout did make conditions a little easier to manage.

Our sponsor today was GOLF WORLD, many thanks to them for sponsoring us and if any members purchase goods from Golf World please let them know you are a “Vet” as they register all sales to our members to assist in ongoing sponsorship.

Russ returned from his trek to Brissy, many thanks to Pete for captaining in Russ`s absence, Pete is obviously happy as well judging by his score today. Good to see the Finches back from way down south, they escaped from Vic just in time and will be with us for a few months.

Next weeks game will be at Mareeba GC and Stratford Painting Contractor will be our sponsor, hope to see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT –ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 25 May 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Atherton Golf Club and there were 51 very keen & brave players consisting of 46 men & 5 ladies.

Our sponsor today was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB so please support them by dropping in for a punt a pint or some fine entertainment. Remember without our sponsors our weekly comp fees will double at a minimum so lets get behind them.

The course was in good condition but played tough with the dodgy weather conditions having said that at least we got a game in as Monday`s weather was extremely ordinary. Many thanks to Cheryl & Pup for getting us going as well as Brendan and his crew for the course setup.

Once again I would like to heap praise on our committee who are small in numbers but big at heart, thanks team for your dedication to the Vets. Our patron Claud Clark is currently absent with a bung shoulder and has passed on his best wishes to all members, back at you Claud and get better soon.

Next weeks game will be at Cairns GC and Golf World will be our sponsor, hope to see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT –CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 11 May 21

Hi Members,

Today we had a double whammy, a normal comp of the day and the final round of the 2 week comp sponsored by Oak Tree Retirement Village combining last week`s event at Mareeba GC with today`s game at Cairns GC. The game today was our usual stableford game at Cairns Golf Club and there were 83 players consisting of 68 men & 15 ladies. NTPs and scoring your partners card are back now and should be the norm from now on.

Our sponsor today was again the Oak Tree Retirement Village and we were very pleased with their sponsorship to the Vets in 2021, their local Manager Glen Donovan hinted that they may well continue their sponsorship well into the future, watch this space. Glen presented the winners & runners up over the 2 game event with their prizes at our daily presentation at Cairns GC, results below.

Many thanks to Cairns GC grounds staff for the great condition of the course and to Evie in the Pro-shop and Amelia in the Clubhouse. The weather was also perfect and the scores below reflect how ideal the conditions were. Thanks also to one of our members Derek Taylor for donating his previously won Cazaly`s voucher back into the Vets coffers, Jane Taylor (no relation) was the lucky recipient to receive this voucher drawn by our sponsor at presentation.

Next weeks game will be a single stableford event at Gordonvale GC and the sponsor will be Drummond Golf, hope to see you all there.
