6 SEPTEMBER
Monthly Medal time again, and a much-improved day weather-wise brought 24 golfers out to Millaa Millaa for the regular Stroke event sponsored by our long-term partners, Mungalli Dairy and the Millaa Millaa Hotel. A sunny day, no clouds, just a light breeze – where else would you want to be? Certainly not on Planet Bleak, like last Sunday.

Despite the great conditions, scoring wasn’t what we might have expected – only Trevor Warrener and Mark Hayward were under nett par with 68 each. Trevor’s score on the back nine won him first place on a countback from Mark. Third, on nett 70, was Glen Vick. One highlight from the day was Mal Armstrong’s chip-in par on #6 – ricochetting off another ball and into the hole. Obviously, a month off in Bundaberg hasn’t lessened his luck!

NTPs were won by Mark Twomey (nearest on 1/10 as well as second shot on 8/17) and Wayne Crowley (6/15). Ash Healy, Wayne Crowley and Fred Anderson (again) were raffle winners, while the Members’ Draw jackpots for yet another week.

During the week, the slab for our new cart shed was poured – huge thanks to Wongabel Quarry who generously donated the concrete for the pour. On Saturday, Millaa Millaa School P & C held a Father’s Day event as a fund raiser at the club; golf, face painting and lots of other activities for the families who came along. A great day apparently, and hopefully the beginning of a closer relationship between the school and club. Have a look elsewhere on our page for their photos of the day. Next up, we have the Millaa Millaa Open weekend – a four-ball Ambrose on Saturday and the Open on Sunday. Let Les know if you can bring a salad along for the lunch on Sunday; our wonderful sponsors, Catalyst Accounting and Tax, have got lunches sorted for Saturday. And on Friday 25 September the Cairns Naval Base Golf Club members will be up for the Annual Navy Shield event. Millaa won last year, so everyone get along to help defend it.

On a sadder note, Don McHardie brought news that former member Tony Lattimore has recently passed away. Tony was a regular visitor to our club over many years, driving up from Wingham in NSW to spend four months every winter at the caravan park, and joining us each Sunday on the course. Tony’s last visit here was four years ago, but he was playing regularly at Wingham until a couple of months back. Tony was always good fun, particularly as his visits coincided with State of Origin, and NSW rarely won back then.

Looking forward (not with much optimism) to great weather next weekend for the Open – see you then.

What a fantastic turn out for the Millaa Millaa State School Fathers Day fund raiser.
The day wasn't about winners and losers it was about getting a happy group of people, both young and old onto the golf course for some fun.
This looks to be becoming an annual event and the Millaa Millaa Golf Club couldn't be happier. See you all again next year.

Thanks to Wongabel Concrete the buggy shed is another step closer to completion.
Wongabel Concrete generously donated the Concrete for the slab which makes them a great supporter of the Millaa Millaa Golf Club and the local community.
We are more than excited to see the progress and look forward to the next step.

Typical. I go away for a week and miss the best weather for golf all year last Sunday, and come back to probably the worst weather this week. When one-third of the starters give up by the half-way mark, you can be sure that conditions are not good. A strong, cold, blustery wind and regular horizontal drizzle ensured that only the desperate or the really keen continued to the end of the 18 holes. Sponsors today were the Reynolds family/Live Life Pharmacy for their annual Stableford event, and despite the gloomy prospects, we had 21 members to begin with, with the hope that the weather would improve during the day. It didn’t.

Again, one of our newer members took out the event – after Rod McInnes last week, this time Mark Hayward was the winner with (in the circumstances) a very good score of 34 points, ahead of Graham Murray (33) and Alan Hapgood (32). Graham Murray (1/10) and Glen Vick (2nd shot 3/12) were NTP winners, while, not surprisingly, no-one hit the green on 6/15. There were only enough stayers in the club house afterwards for two raffle draws, and Fred Anderson won both of those. And for the second time in three weeks an Armstrong name came out in the members’ draw – this time Jann’s. But Mal and Jann are still away on holidays, so that prize jackpots again.

Next Sunday’s event is the September Monthly Medal, but before that, Millaa Millaa Primary School are having a fund-raiser golf day on Saturday, 5 September. This will be a four-ball Ambrose event – pick your own team ($20/person entry fee) and come along to support our local kids. Be there by 8 am for an 8.30 start. The P&C are also putting on a bacon and egg breakfast barbecue beforehand, so come along a bit earlier for that too. Ring Amanda on 0429 212 334 for more information.

Then the following weekend (12/13 September) is the Millaa Millaa Open, sponsored by Catalyst Accounting and Tax. Entries for the Saturday Ambrose event are closed, but there are spaces available for the Open on the Sunday – ring Les Taylor on 0405 008076 to book a tee time. Anyone who can provide a salad or sweets for the lunches on that weekend, please let Les know.

A common perception of golf clubs is that they are direct competitors, but clubs across Queensland are proving that supporting one another can be just as important as competition.

A cool morning with no wind and not a cloud in the sky greeted 24 golfers to the Millaa Millaa Golf course today. What a difference a week makes with as very ordinary day last Sunday. The course is looking in top condition thanks to our loyal volunteers with the greens responding from the early set back of a very wet winter.
Today’s event was a stroke competition sponsored by our fearless president, Graham Murray. Several golfers returned very good scores for the day.
Results were :
1st Rod McInnes - Net 65
2nd Don McHardie – Net 68 (on a countback)
3rd Paul Chiari – Net 68
NTP 1/10 – Rod Accorsini
NTP 5/14 – Wayne Crowley
2nd 3/12 (M) – Paul Chiari
3rd 6/15 (W) – Sheree Rolfe
In the clubhouse there were four winners in the raffle
- Warwick Howarth
- Paul Chiari
- Graham Murray
- Wayne Crowley
The 100 club draw went to a likely bunch of Don McHardie, Bruce Hunter and Alan Hopgood.
The members draws did not go off and jackpots to next week.
A reminder for all to get your nominations in for the open weekend . The Saturday ambrose is filling fast and if we have weather like today it will be a cracking weekend. In the next few weeks we will be asking members to assist in supplying some salads and sweets for both days of the weekend.
The Millaa Millaa state school P&C are having a charity ambrose event on Saturday 5th Sept. Get a team together and help support our local community.
A big thank you to Doug and Sherre Rolfe for the repair of our entrance doors into the club which were a little worse for wear.
Next weekend is a stableford competition sponsored by our long time sponsors – the Reynolds family.
See you all there.

Ho-hum. Another Sunday, another cold, windy, drizzly day in Millaa Millaa. The rest of the week had been ideal for golf, but not today. Our new pump for the greens sprinkler system was successfully installed during the week, but it can probably go back into hibernation again for a few days until this lot blows over. A quartet of visitors even drove up from Cairns for the day, but turned around and went home when they saw what confronted them.

Still, 19 hardy (plus one McHardie) individuals did stay to compete for the Malanda Ampol 2-Ball Ambrose event. Welcome back to occasional visitor Richard Weatherhead from Pacific GC in Brisbane, who was nearly put off by the weather too, but paired up with Stephen Graham to be part of the winning team with a nett score of 64¼, just ahead of Shane Bradley and Ash Healy on 64¾. Tied for third place were Mark Twomey/Graham Suffield and Glen Vick/Paul Chiari on 65¾.

Glen and Paul (1/10), Ash and Shane (5/14) and Steve and Richard (2nd shot to 8/17) were the NTP winners, while Ash and Shane also claimed Ladies 3rd shot on 6/15. Nice try “girls”. Graham Murray (twice) and Les Taylor were raffle winners while Mal Armstrong picked the wrong week to go on holiday as his number came out in the members draw.

There are still spaces for the two days of the Millaa Open weekend available – ring Les Taylor on
0405 008076 to book your spot. Next week Graham Murray is sponsoring the President’s Cup – a stroke event. Let’s hope for better weather then.

This is the time of the year when all the camphor laurel trees at Millaa Millaa golf course lose their leaves and grow new ones. So, for the next couple of months the drifts of dead foliage present an extra hazard and yet another place to lose golf balls. (It’s not a good idea to stand too close to the mowers on Wednesdays either – often they’re the first thing to find the lost balls.) And this year our resident cockatoos have decided to add to the problem by chewing off large pieces of branch and dropping them under the trees as well. A month ago, Graham picked up a ute load of cockatoo prunings, and there would be at least that much on the course again now. Sharpening beaks? Looking for grubs? Just being cockatoos? Who knows?

Anyway, to golf. Mungalli Dairy and Millaa Millaa Hotel were our sponsors again for the August Monthly Medal, which was postponed from last Sunday due to the fact that no-one wanted to get cold and wet. (It was foul.) 25 starters turned up in much improved conditions and enjoyed a whole day of dry golf. Mark Twomey got his excuses in early – “I’ve been moving house, I haven’t played for ages, and I’ve got a sore thumb”, – and proceeded to card 73 off the stick to romp home in first place with a nett 66. Great round Mark, but your credibility has taken a hit. Bruce Hunter chipped in three times in the first four holes on his way to a nett 67 and second spot, while Paul Chiari (68) was one shot behind in third. Alan Hapgood (1/10), Glenn Vick (5/14) and Paul Chiari (an excellent 2nd shot to 6/15) were the nearest-the-pin winners, while Ash Healy took longest putt on 9/18 – a prize left over from the BCF Innisfail day three weeks ago.

The raffle board was full, so there were five draws. Trevor Warrener (twice), Alan Hapgood, Wayne Crowley and Paul Chiari were winners there, while Mark Hayward’s name was pulled out for the members’ draw. In his absence, that jackpots to next week.

Best wishes for a continued recovery to Wayne Norris, who suffered a stroke late last month. After a short spell in Cairns Hospital, Wayne’s now home again. I actually caught up with him while shopping during the week – he looked and sounded well, so we should see him back on the course soon. And good to see Les Taylor back playing again after his second cataract operation. It means that his playing partners no longer have to tell Les where his ball went, but also means they can’t send him off in the wrong direction any more either. (No, we wouldn’t do that.)

As Trevor posted during the week, work has started on the new cart shed near the Club House. When that’s completed, it will save driving from the other side of the course where carts are currently stored, and also free up work space in the current machinery shed. A reminder to committee members that next week is meeting day. And next week’s event will be the Two-Ball Ambrose sponsored by Malanda Ampol, postponed from this week. Get your teams ready, and we’ll see you all on Sunday.
