 VETS GOLF OPENING  2023   MAREEBA  TUESDAY 31 JANUARY

The opening competition for 2023 was played in very tropical conditions at the Mareeba Golf Course this morning. The course was in excellent shape considering the amount of rainfall received this year. Particular mention should be made of the greens although being surprisingly fast they were very receptive to a well flighted  approach shot. Special thanks to the head green keeper Michael , Jim and their team of helpers. We were warmly welcomed and catered for by Owen , Debbie and Robyn.
