Mackay and Whitsunday Life

On The Social Green

Last minute changes to the competition format in order to accommodate the Jan MM reduced the field somewhat for the normal MM numbers with only 14 players competing. Conditions were hot and steamy, as were the players, but the front 9 (played twice) was in remarkably good condition, in spite of the recent rain.

 

Presentation was at the Reef Gateway Hotel as usual, and it was good to see all the players turn up. The prizes for the winners and placegetters, (ie. the balls) will be distributed next week. NTPs were presented on the day.

 

Please remember that the AGM will be held after the presentation next week, this is where the decisions will be made on the direction of the club for 2024. So, input is required from our members, election of officers for 2024 is also part of the AGM, all nominations can be made from the floor on the day.
