We welcomed 2 visitors today from Glenwaverly in Vic. - Bill and Jill Cornish and we also had 2 members join - Charlie Quarter and Graham Jenkins - We hope they all had a good day.
Our sponsor today was Stratford Painting Contractors - we thank them for their continued sipport of the Vets. If you need any painting done , contact Gordon Perry for a quote.
Thank you to Debbie and Owen for their help this morning and after the game. The course was in great condition due to Michael, the groundsmen, and his crew.:
We also now have a new committee and thank them for volunteering -
Captain - Peter Wyatt
Vice - Captain - Peter Walters
Treasurer - Bob Adams
Secretary - Ron Blake
Committee - Bruce Jenner : Lois Tait: Russ Gill
As you can probably see, we still desperately need a President , Vice President: and Vice Treasurer.

Hi Members,
As a result of a change in dates due to next week's AGM at Mareeba, we played at Gordonvale today. (we gave constant notices of this change of dates for a month) We had 49 players attend - 42 Men and 7 Ladies. It was a very hot day - fortunately there was a liitle breeze at times.
Thank you to Jonathan and Jessie for helping us to get carts etc. this morning. The course was in good condition - very dry except for the greens. There was a lot of run which obviously helped the scoring.
Our sponsor today was Reef Casino and we are very grateful for their support over the last few years and they are sponsoring us again in 2023.
***** Next week we are at MAREEBA for our AGM. Please make sure you register well before 8.00 am as the meeting will be starting at 8.00 a.m. It is a shotgun start at 8.30 am. We hope to see you there.**********
Regards
Liz Edmonds.
P.S On the 29/11 we will be at Cairns for our Xmas Breakup. There will be a 7.30 am shotgun start.
Lunch and the game will cost $32 each. Pay on the day.

Hi Members,
Today we arrived at Atherton Golf Club to a grey sky and light drizzle - thankfully it cleared quite quickly to a lovely cool day. There were 59 players - 51 men and 8 ladies who played a Stableford round.
The course was in great condition - however the greens had recently been sanded which meant that putting was interesting until they dried out. The course has obviously had a lot of projects happening to improve it. Carl and his ground staff are doing a great job.
Thanks to Cheryl and Russell (Pup) for getting us going with carts and lunch orders this morning and Cheryl was there after the game to provide drinks and lunch orders. It is greatly appreciated.
Our sponsor today was Bill Matthews (President)
Next Tuesday, we are at GORDONVALE for our game. We hope to see you there.
By the way we still need a President and Vice- Treasurer for the 2023 Committee. - Please see me next week if you would like to nominate for one of the positions
Regards
Liz Edmonds
Secretary.

Hi Members,
Today we played at Half Moon Bay Golf Club on Monday - we do this so that members are able to celebrate the Melbourne Cup if they wish. There were 60 players who participated - 48 men and 12 ladies. We welcomed 2 new members today -Doug Newitt ( a member at Half Moon Bay) and Lino Polo from Morwell Golf Club. We hope you enjoyed your game.
It was a very hot day with very little breeze - fluids were a priority today and everyone survived.
The course was in very good condition - the greens were very green and lush - some felt they were slow - it depends what you experience at your home course. Thanks to Grant (greenkeeper) and his crew. Thanks also to Daniel who provided members with their carts in the morning and also Steve who was at the bar when we came in at the end.
Our Winner and Runner- ups today received vouchers from Drummond Golf. Thanks to Darren and his staff for sponsoring once again.
Next week we play at Atherton - we hope to see you there.

Hi Members,
Today we played a Stableford round at Cairns Golf Club - 89 players took part - 70 Men and !9 Ladies. We welcomed 3 new members today - Irma Morzone; Greg Moule and Andrew Ballagh. We hope they had an enjoyable day and we look forward to seeing them at future games.

Hi Members.
Today we played a Stableford round at Gordonvale G.C. - 68 members took part - 56 Men and 12 Ladies. The fairways were very dry and the ditches were mown down which meant there was a lot of run - the scores certainly reflected this. The greens were green and in very good condition so obviously there has been a concentrated effort on them.
We would like to thank Samantha and Peter Walters for their early start - getting the carts out ready for the players; providing coffee///tea and selling drinks after the game. Thank also to the ground staff for the condition of the course.
Our Sponsor today was Brothers Leagues Club and thank you so much for your continued support - it is greatly appreciated by the members.
Next week our game is at CAIRNS G.C. -hope to see you there.
Cheers
Liz Edmonds
Secretary.
