Secretary"s Report & Results - Mareeba Golf Club - Tuesday 10th May, 2022

                           SECRETARY"S REPORT & RESULTS - MAREEBA GOLF CLUB

Hi Members,

    

Today was supposed to be a 7.30 am shotgun start at Mareeba. . However after an extremely wet drive up the Kuranda  Range, it was obvious that we were not going to get many members make the trip. The

 committee decided to play a regular game for those that arrived and postpone the 2nd game for Oak Tree Retirement Village.

We had 41 players  -  36 men and 5 ladies - and we played a Stableford round. Cazaly's sponsored today's round and we thank them for their continued support .

The course was dry and in excellent condition in every way. We also had amazing weather- no rain for the entire time we were on the course. A few heavy showers occurred after we were all finshed.

Once again we must thank Wendy for her help in providing coffee, food and supporting us in such a friendly way. We congratulate Michael and the ground staff on the presentation of the course.

Our next game is at Gordonvale next Tuesday and we are hoping to have the 2nd round of the Oak Tree Retirement Village event there. It is to be a 8.00am shotgun start (weather permitting). I will inform the members of any changes on the blog.

Regards

Liz 

Secretary

Secretary's Report and Results - Mareeba G.C . Tuesday 3rd May, 2022

                        SECRETARY"S REPORT AND RESULTS - MAREEBA GOLF CLUB

Hi Members,

This is my first effort writing the blog so please don't judge me too harshly.  Our beloved leader and President, Robin Tonks is not well and will be absent for a while.  Bill Matthews, vice President,  will be taking his place while he is away.

Today's game was a single Stableford event and we had 61 players - 51 men and 10 ladies. We welcomed one new member -:Anthony Wilson from Mareeba Golf Club.

Our Sponsor for today (and next week) was Oak Tree Retiremen Village who have very generously supported us for the last 2 years. Some of our members live in the village and highly recommend it. Our game next week is also at Mareeba and Glen Donovan (manager at Oak Tree)  will attend and present the prizes.

The weather was fine and mostly sunny in contrast to the Cairns region this morning. The course was in excellent condition but our scores today did not reflect this. Thank you to Michael (groundsman) and his volunteers /Thank you Wendy for looking after us all as usual - we are very grateful.

Our next game is a 7:30 Shotgun start at Mareeba so please be early.

Regards

Liz Edmonds

Atherton Cancelled Tuesday 26 Apr

 Hi Members,

The scheduled game for Atherton GC tomorrow Tuesday 26 Apr unfortunately has been cancelled due to torrential rain in the Cairns Region. Apologies to Atherton GC but the decision by the Committee was unanimous as everyone considered the roads extremely dangerous and unsafe to travel.

Lets hope the weather improves and the tragic golfers can get a game in soon somewhere in the Far North.

Regards

Robin

President

Presidents Report & Results Mossman GC Tuesday 12 Apr 22

PRESIDENT REPORT & RESULTS MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mossman Golf Club and we had 57 players consisting of 41 men & 16 ladies, much rain overnight and early this morning probably the reason for the lower numbers. There was one visitor from Mackay, Mark Henrich, I hope you enjoyed your game with the FNQ Vets.

Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf who are a great supporter to the Vets so if you need any golf gear/lessons please drop in and see the team at Drummonds, they will lift your game!

The weather was fantastic and the course just as good as the weather, a pleasure to play there. We were a little short staffed today due to some medical issues but I would like to thank Liz, Pete & Lois for filling in the gaps, well done team.

FOUND: There was a 52 wedge handed in today so if you have lost it please call or see me next week at Gordonvale GC.

Our next game will be a single stableford event at Gordonvale GC sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club hope to see you all there.

Gordonvale GC are currently conducting a survey within their club in an attempt to improve the course & service. They have asked that if the Vets players would like to be included in their survey, a form is available on request, please offer positive comments if you complete the survey.

Also a coffee/food van (Bonnies sweets & treats) will be operating at the club from 0600 next Tuesday until close of play offering Toasties, Muffins, Sandwiches, Coffee etc etc this should be a win/win all around.

Regards

Robin

PRESIDENT REPORT & RESULTS INNISFAIL GOLF CLUB

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event and we had 61 players consisting of 46 men & 15 ladies. There was one new member, David Barrow from Babinda GC, welcome to the Vets David.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO who are a tremendous support to the Vets and their sponsorship is very much appreciated by all of our members, drop in and play a while you might just win a little.

We were welcomed with open arms by Addy & Jake, the coffee and pastries were an absolute treat and we were spoilt no end, you have set the bar very high now for other clubs to follow. The course was also fantastic, a great testament to your cast of volunteers, well done to you all and the weather just topped off the day at Innisfail.

There was an incident today: player A`s (no names Dave Jackson) buggy went into the water, player B (Bert Smith all the way up from Albury NSW)) helped him get it out and dry it off, player A found his ball and hit it straight into player B`s face, player A ran up to player B and said...... WHERE DID MY BALL GO? Yes it happens on a golf course nowhere else and yes there was blood.

For sale: John Pilbin (0402049046) is selling his MGI (10yrs old) buggy with a 10 month old lithium battery which will last 2 rounds comfortably and a spare battery that will last 1 round, battery charger also included and he is asking just $250 ono a good buy.

Our next game will be a single stableford event at Mossman GC sponsored by Drummond Golf hope to see you all there.

Regards

Robin

President
