Millaa Millaa cancelled Tuesday 22 March

 Hi Members,

I have just been advised that the Tablelands Summer of Golf game scheduled for Millaa Millaa next Tuesday 22 Mar 22 has been cancelled as the course is unplayable due to terrible weather.

The next Vets game will be at Cairns GC Tuesday 29 Mar 22, a single stableford event sponsored by our own Andrina & Doug Christison. Then we play weekly as per the 2022 Program.

Hope to see you all at Cairns Tuesday 29 March.

Regards

Robin

Atherton game Tuesday 15 Mar washout

 Members,

Today`s game at Atherton GC was a washout due to very ordinary weather conditions. Many thanks to our dedicated committee (bar myself) for making the trek up the various ranges in dangerous conditions so our members could get a game.  The normal group of "golf trajics" turned up but it was even too much for them so coffee ended up the only way to go.

The next and final Tablelands of Summer game will be at Millaa Millaa next Tuesday with our next game at Cairns GC on Tuesday 29 March and then the weekly program commences for the duration of 2022.

Regards

Robin

Atherton game on for Tuesday 15 March

 Hi Members,

Although we have had a fair amount of rain in Cairns it has not been that bad at Atherton therefore the game is on. Normal time, single stableford and the sponsor is Cazaly`s AFL.

The Captain Atherton GC has advised that the course is very playable, carts with care, preferred lies and bunkers out of play.

Please take care driving up either of the ranges and have a great day.

Regards

Robin

PRESIDENT REPORT & RESULTS GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a 2 Person Ambrose event and we had 66 players consisting of 54 men & 12 ladies. There were 2 new members; Ian Street & John Slater both from Innisfail GC, welcome to the Vets gents.

Our sponsor today was Stratford Painting Contractors (SPC owner Gordon Perry), many thanks to Gordo and if you have any paint jobs please call SPC and they will look after you.

It was very hot today and the continuous delivery of ice cold water to the players on course was appreciated no end, thanks to Pete at the club for doing this without any prompting from the Vets. Gordonvale Golf Club is heading in the right direction when managers act in this way.

The POS machine is getting closer for use as Lois has completed all of the relevant forms and sent them off to the appropriate provider. Thanks also to Cathie Coverdale as she was instrumental in kicking the POS idea off for the Vets.

The Tablelands Summer of Golf next Tuesday 8^th March is at Atherton GC.

Our next game will be a single stableford event at Atherton GC on 15 March 22 and the sponsor will be Cazaly`s AFL, hope to see you all there.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF so anyone requiring golf equip please drop in and they will look after you. Many thanks to Drummonds for sponsoring the Vets in 2022 your support is much appreciated by our members.

The weather was superb and I only found out when I got home that it rained most of the day in Cairns, gotta love Mareeba.

Before I get into today`s results we had a very special birthday yesterday as Brian Norris turned 90 big ones, congratulations Brian you have achieved a great milestone and you still walk all of the courses, an inspiration to us all. The cake was fantastic Kay good job.

The committee met after the game to discuss various issues and one motion which was passed, the purchase a Point of Sale (POS) machine so we can tap our fees in the future and alleviate cash hangups. Many thanks to our Treasurer, Lois Tait for doing the legwork into the investigation of pros & cons of the POS machine. We hope to be operational within a couple of months so get ready to “tap & go”.

The Tablelands Summer of Golf game next week 22^nd Feb is at Mareeba GC.

Our next game will be a 2 Person Ambrose at Gordonvale GC on the 1^st Mar, hope to see you all there.
