2009 PATRON INVITATIONAL DAY
Once again 13 Golf Club representatives and guests attended Patron Percy Roberts Golf Day at Southport G.C. on Sunday 15th Nov 2009. A great day was had by all with very stiff competition being experienced from most teams. Some teams whom we won't name from Helensvale struggled the wind and rain for a very well constructed 34 points. All other teams played in brilliant sunny & dry conditions and scores were most improved. Of course visiting Clubs could not compete with the local pair of Phil Ratcliffe [Pres] and Norm Thomson who won the Patrons Trophy for Southport with a score of 46 points and two violent protests on grounds of home course rubbish having to be dismissed.
They were declared the winners - and so they should. The pair won four lovely rounds of golf at Lakelands for their effort - Well Done ! Congratulations!
Second place getters were the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads boys Ross Mead [Pres] & Darren Tonkin [Capt] with 44 points - [4 games of golf at Robina Woods/The Colonial] for their effort.
Third Club was Arundel Hills whose reps were Russell Beasley & Kerry Magro with a score of 43 c/b.
The Association would like to thank all Clubs who were kind enough to donate prizes of games of golf at their courses for this special day.
Lakelands Golf Club
Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club
Robina Woods / The Colonial
Emerald Lakes
Gold Coast Burleigh Golf Club
We thank you for making this day so successful for patron Percy.
Just a mention to Clubs who could not find 2 people out of their full memberships...... who would have been thrilled to the teeth to be asked to represent their Club on a special day like the Patrons Day. It is most disappointing to all concerned to only have half of our Clubs in the Association who take the time to make the effort to be part of this day.
If your club was not part of this years Patron Day then make arrangements now to be sure you will be part of it in 2010. It truly is a fantastic day.
