RESULTS ATHERTON 2 BALL AMBROSE TUESDAY 24 JUNE 2025

 

Another great field of 59 FNQVGA vets (47 men and 12 ladies) had a very enjoyable day on the links at Atherton  today. Well if we were at the end of Golf Links Toad it could be the "links." The course is certainly a picture and a considerable challenge. Congratulations to all those involved, and that includes Nikki in the Clubhouse.

We had one visitor from North Rockhampton , Gary Meek who teamed with new Member John Daley from Atherton to take home the spoils.Welcome to you both

Our generous sponsor today was the Reef Hotel Casino where luxury meets excitement and chances are you are about to lose! Play , stay , dine and eat in the heart of Cairns.

RESULTS HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 17 JUNE.

Early scuds may have tested the first few tee times this morning , but, the day turned out to be a very pleasant one for FNQVGA golfers who played a single stableford in Round 8 in the consistency series. The Yorkeys Knob course is in excellent condition, thanks to all staff associated with its preparation. 

A good filed of 42 players (35 men 7 ladies) ignored the weatherman, and reaped the benefit. All grades required the use of the Australian ties system to decide the winners. 

WE had three new members join up today, Carl Fox, Greg Althaus and  John King, all from Half Moon Bay- Welcome!

Once again we thank our major sponsor Drummond Golf Cairns. Why not drop in and checkout the new Alfred Street Manunda  location.
