 PRESIDENT REPORT –MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 03 Aug 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was the 1^st round of our 2021 Championships with the 2^nd and final round to be completed at Mareeba GC next Tuesday 10 Aug. The comp of the day today was a single stroke event and there were 87 players consisting of 74 men & 13 ladies. We had two new members rejoin today, Gordon & Kathleen Smith both from Tallarook GC Vic, welcome back to the Vets.

The course was great and thanks go out to the greens staff at Mareeba and many thanks to Gabi & Wendy for looking after us from 0630 onwards.

Our sponsor today was GOLF WORLD, please support Golf World and mention you are a “Vet” if you are purchasing golf equipment from their store as they are a great support to us.

The golf shirt orders were finalised today and Liz will be sending off the orders later on this week with an expected delivery date of 5-6 weeks.

This is a reminder to all players, please when completing your card mark the total gross, nett & stableford score at the top of the scorecard for a stroke event and the total stableford score for a stableford event so Russ doesn`t have to go through every card to get the total score for each player as this is very time consuming and you can all help to make his job easier when sorting out cards at the end of the day.

We are back at Mareeba next Tuesday for the 2^nd round of the Championship, those not entered for both rounds can most certainly attend and participate in the comp of the day, good golfing and see you at Mareeba.

There was one visitor, Lynne McCosker from St George, we also have five new members, Mal Armstrong from Millaa Milla, Stephen, Diane & Geoffrey Heather and Roger Whittaker all from Bundaberg, welcome to the Vets and I hope you enjoy your time with us.

The weather was very cold early on but as Don promised us the sun came out later and there was no rain at all another bonus was the course was in great condition Millaa obviously have a good crew of volunteers, well done to all. Thanks to Margaret for looking after us pre game and the same to Hughy post game, the pies were hot & tasty.

Our sponsor today was CAZALY`S AFL, a lot of our members visit their establishment on a regular basis and it is always a great place to drop in for a meal and sample their entertainment treats on offer.

Some good news this week as we (LOIS) have secured the services of BDO to audit our books on a honorary basis (freebie), we have been trying since Harvey Blanch moved to Brisbane, great work Lois and many thanks to Greg Mitchell from BDO for accommodating us at no charge.

More good news as we have received formal advice from HMBGC that the Vets can play there again in 2022 as long as the COVID situation does not worsen in our Region. The FNQVGA 2022 Program will include HMBGC as one of our venues as per pre-COVID utilising the two tee start.

For those interested, the 2021 Gordonvale Open is to be played Sat 14^th & Sun 15^th Aug, please contact the Gordonvale GC to obtain tee times.

Next week will be the final opportunity to purchase the FNQVGA golf shirts as Liz will be placing the order in a couple of weeks and that will be it for this year. Those that have already ordered the delivery time is approx 5-6 weeks after placement of the order.

Next weeks game will be a stroke event and is the 1^st round of the FNQVGA, 2021 Championships at Mareeba GC and the sponsor is Golf World. For those not participating in the championships you are very welcome to play in the comp of the day and for members playing in the 2 rounds a reminder to advise Lois at Registration as payment for both games ($34) is required on day one. Lets fill Mareeba GC up next week and have a great time.

Presidents Report & Results from Mossman GC Tuesday 20 Jul 21

 

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.
