Hi Members,
Today was our final game for the year followed by our Xmas lunch and Presentation of Trophies awarded for the year at Cairns Golf Club.
We had 91 players-: 69 men and 22 ladies- who participated in a Stableford round All prizes for the day were presented and received by the players ( except we owe George Studham and Charlie Quarter a ball next year because they had left before presentation). The weather remained fine for most players but unfortunately a few were caught in a downpour before they finished their game.
Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf and we are very grateful for their continued sponsorship. Georgia Buckle represented Drummond's at the Luncheon as Darren Golder was unable to attend. Thank you so much for coming Georgia.
We also had a guest speaker - Dr Sebastian Moss from FNQH Skin Cancer Centre who gave a talk on the importance of yearly Skin checks for skin cancer.
Thank you so much to Jessie, Chloe and the bar staff for looking after us so well in the morning and during lunch. Also thank you to Evie and Laing who managed to accomodate the players with their carts early this morning.
This will be the last time that I write the blog - Peter and I would like to wish all our members a very Merry Xmas and a healthy, happy 2023. We would like to wish the 2023 Committee all the best for 2023. (Thank you to Dee Kottnig for nominating to be Assistant Treasurer today)
Happy Golfing
