CAPTAIN'S CORNER

The Monday 23rd May Brisbane Golf Club event unfortunately could not proceed due to the wet weather conditions, creating unsafe footing for walkers and with no carts allowed. The SGSQ Committee appreciates your understanding and support with the cancellation of this event and will endeavour to reschedule the BGC game sometime later in the 2022 schedule.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

  • The SGSQ Committee feel it desirable to have our members' next of kin contact details at hand. This information will be requested when registering for future games (post Keperra) or tours. This will ensure that the health and safety of our members are better protected during events and families made aware of any incidents. This information will be managed by the Captain of the day. Please support this direction to allow better communication for SGSQ Games.
  •  Another initiative is to provide links on the SGSQ website to the other States' Senior Golfers' Society golf schedules, with the contact details and names of the relevant Society secretaries so that members can see what games might be available during planned interstate personal visits and apply to join those games. Should we gain national approval, we also plan to include the overseas Societies as well. Please be aware that such arrangements cannot always be secured and that ample notice for such bookings is desirable.  
  •  Our 2023 Sydney Northern Beaches Tour dates have been secured for Sunday 17th to Saturday 23rd September. Further details will be shared soon.
  •  The Toowoomba Middle Ridge GC Event on Monday 24th October, as always, will be well attended. Looking ahead, there only remains a few dinner bookings available on Sunday 23rdOctober and would recommend that those wishing to attend make their arrangements in earnest. Eastgate Motel 07 4602 0725.

Next Game - Keperra Golf Club Monday 13th June 9.00am Shotgun start.
