PRESIDENT REPORT –MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB 20 Jul 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mossman Golf Club and there were 74 players consisting of 58 men & 16 ladies. There were three visitors, Suzzanne Barker (Russ Gill`s sister) from Carrington Park Vic and Wendy & Mike Vidler from Rockhampton. We also have two new members, Greg Walker & Chris Hameister both from Mossman, welcome to the Vets gents.

The course was in fantastic shape as much effort was put in by the greens staff for the recent Mossman Open and the weather was the best winters day you could ever wish for. Surely the Far North is the envy of the rest of Australia.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO, so if you are looking for somewhere to go for a good night out please drop in to the Casino “its a lovely place to play”.

Liz will be placing a shirt order in the next few weeks so if anyone wishes to purchase a FNQVGA golf shirt please see Liz or Jane as they have the necessary paperwork to order the shirts. Please note cash is required in advance.

Next weeks game will be a single stableford event at Millaa Milla Golf Club and the sponsor will be CAZALY`s AFL. I hope to see you all there.

Please put a note in your diary for our championships at Mareeba 3^rd & 10^th Aug.

Presidents Report & Results from Atherton GC Tuesday 13 Jul 21

 PRESIDENT REPORT –ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 13 Jul 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Atherton Golf Club and there were 79 players consisting of 68 men & 11 ladies, considering how bleak the morning was it was a very good rollup today. There was one visitor, Suzzanne Barker (Russ Gill`s sister) from Carrington Park Vic, welcome Sue and I hope you enjoyed the day.

I must say even though the weather ended up very ordinary the course was in tip top shape, obviously a lot of effort has gone into the maintenance of the course. Many thanks to Cheryl, Pup and Nikki for looking after the Vets throughout the day. For those that complained about the jokes being removed from the ablutions, new jokes are now firmly in place and they seem to be a good talking point within our members.

Our sponsor today was Stratford Painting Contractors, if anyone requires a paint job please give Gordon a call and he will look after you. SPC have a great reputation within the community for doing 1^st class work on big and small projects alike.

We will be placing a shirt order in the next few weeks so if anyone wishes to purchase a FNQVGA golf shirt please see Liz or Jane as they have the necessary paperwork to order the shirts. Please note cash is required in advance.

Next weeks game will be a single stableford event back at Mossman Golf Club and the sponsor will be the REEF CASINO. I hope to see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT –BABINDA GOLF CLUB 06 Jul 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Babinda Golf Club and there were 59 players consisting of 48 men & 11 ladies. There were five new members, Warren & Jo Affleck (ex Millaa Millaa) from Mandalay Vic, David Heron from Mossman, Chris Hannam from Babinda and Noel Webster (ex Treasurer) from Cairns, great to see some old and new faces back at the Vets, enjoy your stay with us.

Many thanks to the volunteers who maintain the course as it was very green and lush. Also thanks to Bernadette, Gabrielle, Chris Hannam and the on-course drinks girls who kept the water up to us throughout the day. There was a meat tray raffle organised by Babinda GC and it was drawn today, unfortunately, I forgot to get the winners name but whoever won it I am sure they are happy.

One of our members lost his range finder somewhere on the course, it was not handed in but if anyone found it please call Tony on 0456778492.

Our sponsor today was GOLF WORLD (GW) once again a great sponsor to the Vets, please support GW when in need of anything golf.

Today was very special for me as I had been trying to present Wal Anthony with his 2019 Patron`s trophy for 18 months, unfortunately every time I tried poor old Wal`s illness got worse and we could never get our timing right. So today at his course Babinda, I finally presented his trophy from 2019 to his wife Bernadette & daughter Gabrielle with much love from the Vets as Wal was very special to us all. Bernadette displayed her appreciation in her acceptance speech with much love back to our members.

Next weeks game will be a single stableford event at Atherton Golf Club and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, I hope to see you all there.

Presidents Report & Results from CAIRNS GC Tuesday 29 Jun 21

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 29 Jun 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Cairns Golf Club and there were 95 players consisting of 82 men & 13 ladies, a very good rollup today. There were three new members, Trent Bond from Cairns, Geoff Sherman from Leongatha & Daryl Wall from Innisfail GC welcome to the FNQVGA gents, I hope you enjoy the Vets. There were four visitors, Russell Wicks from HMBGC, Abby & Emily McEwan from Atherton and Louise Blanden from Adelaide.

Many thanks to Tim & his crew for the great condition of the course, also thanks to Chloe & Anton for getting us all out on time and looking after us on our return to the clubhouse, masks were not required today but watch this space as Qld is starting to have new COVID cases.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF, Darren has been sponsoring us for a long time now and is much appreciated by all members. Drummonds will lift your game!!! please drop in if you require any golf equipment/accessories.

The following is now a plea for auditor`s assistance to the Vets come October. 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 single stableford event at Babinda Golf Club and the sponsor will be Golf World. I received an email from Gabrielle (Wal`s daughter) and they are very much looking forward to the Vets game next week and will have a “meat tray” raffle for those interested, your support is very much appreciated by Babinda GC. I hope to see you all there.

Presidents Report & Results for Atherton GC Tuesday 22 Jun 21

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 22Jun 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was something different and a nice change from the norm, a 2 person Ambrose at Atherton Golf Club and there were 75 players consisting of 66 men & 9 ladies. There were two new members, Dennis Thelan and Peter Steventon both from Atherton GC, welcome to the Vets guys, there was also one visitor, Daryl Wall from Innisfail.

The course was in tip top shape due to the good work from the greens staff. Many thanks to Cheryl, Pup & Ray from the clubhouse for their usual great service to us, always a treat. The weather was a little cool early and warmed up towards the end of the game but no rain which is always good news.

Our sponsor today was Cazaly`s AFL, a great supporter to the Vets so please visit their establishment if you are looking for a good night`s entertainment. 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 single stableford event at Cairns GC and the sponsor will be DRUMMOND GOLF, hope to see you all there.
