Next Game Gordonvale 3 May

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford Consistency event at Gordonvale.

The course is still playing quite long, but the area around the greens is starting to firm up permitting some chip & run shots, which will be a relief to those of us who find the wedge a bit chancy!

The greens will have been sanded at the weekend, so should run a bit more smoothly, but the drains have water in them & high rough, so abandon hope all ye who enter therein.

The game is sponsored by Kennedys Betta Electrical.

See you there.

Louis

President's Report & Results Atherton 26 Apr

Today we played a stableford event at the Atherton Golf Club. The weather was not looking very promising from the start so the numbers were down somewhat (51 men and 9 women), however those brave few only had intermittent showers which did not interfere with the golf too much at all. The golf course was in very good condition and we thank the members and staff at Atherton for their good work.

Welcome to new members Vince Agius of Gordonvale & Patsy & Rob McMahon of Atherton.

The sponsor today was GOLF WORLD of Cairns and I would like to take this opportunity to encourage our members to join GOLF TRIBE and be eligible for discounts on purchases as well as other benefits.

For those who have asked after our patron Claud Clark, I can report that he has been quite ill but is now well on the mend at home and I am sure he would welcome a phone call from any friends wanting to wish him well,

President's Report & Results Cairns 19 Apr

Today we played a stableford event at Cairns golf Club and it was very pleasing to see the field starting to increase.There were 108 players (86 men and 22 ladies) competing on a perfect day on a course that has dried out after the weekend rain.

The sponsor for the day was DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and we are thank Deb for the Drummond golf vouchers that the winners and runners up received.

I would like to remind members that the game next week is at Atherton and judging by the excellent condition of the course on the last few visits, it will be well worth getting a carload and making the effort to see for yourself.

Congratulations go to Ruth Yelland for winning the Mareeba Open last weekend against a strong field of low marker ladies. Well done Ruth.
