afternoon was going to be a wet one.
That said the golf course was presented
beautifully as the teams battled it out for the
EC Coker Shield.
The final results saw the Ballina team of Mark

QUEENSLAND: GMAQ
EXECUTIVE DAY
SURVIVES THE RAIN AT
SANCTUARY COVE
The 2018 GMAQ Executive Day was held at
the fantastic facility of Sanctuary Cove – The
Pines on Tuesday 6 March and although the
weather made life a little uncomfortable for
all concerned on the day, it didn’t dampen
the spirits of the 76 players that turned up to
play. Facing rain in the morning, after many
days of rain preceding the event, the course
was understandably wet underfoot but the
forecast of rain for the rest of the day had
the event in doubt for many.
Rather than make an executive decision on
how to proceed, the GMAQ Captain elected
to let democracy take its course and asked
the golfers present what they would like to
do. The majority had come to play golf and
Taking out the daily Four-Ball event was new
member Brett Lawton and sponsor Jamie
Gianneas with 46 points.
The GMAQ would like to thank the Sanctuary
Cove Team led by Executive General Manager
– Paul Sanders and Superintendent Paul
McLean and their teams for the wonderful
event and the chance to play on one of
Australia’s finest facilities.
