BABINDA G.C. GAME - TOMORROW , JULY 5th - CANCELLED

 Hi Members, 

 After a phone call with Gabrielle ( President) at Babinda G.C , the decision was made to cancel tomorrow"s game. It is still very wet from last week's rain and more is expected. Carts were not allowed on the course. It is a long way to travel if the weather turns very wet tomorrow.

Please let those members, who do not read the blog, know that it is cancelled.

See you at Cairns G C next week.

SECRETARY'S REPORT & RESULTS - ATHERTON GOLF CLUB - TUESDAY, 21st JUNE, 2022.

Hi Members,

 Today we played a 2 Ball Ambrose  at Atherton Golf Club - 73 players took part - 52 Men and 11 Ladies.We welcomed 1 new member today - Robert Mills from Innisfail - we hope he enjoyed the day. Despite the cold wind and the frequent scattered showers throughout the round, it was an enjoyable day.

  The golf course was in excellent condition - Carl and his team need to be commended for their work. We also noticed quite a few improvements since our last visit.  Thank you also to Cheryl and Irish who are always so helpful and make us feel very welcome.

Our sponsor today was Chiropractic Works on Sheridan St, Cairns. Today was the 1st time they had sponsored the Vets and we thank them for their support. I highly recommend Nathan and his team as they have kept me pain free and upright so I can walk the golf courses we play at. 

Next  Tuesday, our game is at Half Moon Bay Golf Course. See you there!

Regards,

Liz Edmonds

Secretary

  Today we played a Stableford round at Cairns Golf Club - we had 103 players; 22 Ladies and 81 Men. We welcomed 4 new members ; Lance and Rhoda Pedrana; Ian Tracey; Steven Pawliw. Lovely to see that Margaret and Tom Finch have aslo returned for their yearly visit.

Our sponsor today was Cairns Golf Club  and we thank Matt very much for his support of the FNQVGA. We also wish to thank Brie and Evie in the Pro Shop for their help and Chloe and the bar staff for making the lunches, coffee and drinks throughout the day.

Tim and his ground staff have done a great job on the course even with the irrigation scheme being installed. There might be some lumps and bumps around  the course but it will certainly be worth it in the future.

We are organising a raffle to raise some funds for our championships this year.As from next Tuesday, we will be selling tickets and a list of the prizes will be on the desk at the front. Please see Russ, Peter or Bill to purchase them. The tickets will be $2 each or 3 for $5.

Next week's game is at Atherton and it will be a 2 ball Ambrose. Don't worry if you don't have a partner, we will organise one for you.See you there.

Regards

Liz Edmonds

Secretary.
