2024 Holes-in-One

During 2024 we had three players achieve the ultimate shot- a Hole-in-one.

Peter Walters aced the 11th Hole at Half Moon Bay on 23 July.

We had to wait until 15 October when Chris Ireland put it in the hole on the 5th in Gordonvale. It was Chris's second HIO after a very short golfing career.

And we only had to wait two more weeks for Dave Jackson to score on the 3rd hole at Half Moon Bay on 29 October.
 

Chris, Peter and David with their HIO trophies. Well done!

Cairns Tuesday 26 November Results.

A very happy field of  85 FNQVGA golfers (66 men and 19 ladies) enjoyed a very well presented Cairns Golf Club this morning for our final game of the year and Christmas lunch. How good does Cairns look at the moment? The place is really going forward. 

Thanks to everyone associated at the Club for making it a very memorable day. A great  lunch prepared by Tropic Spirit Catering and served very professionally by the Cairns Golf Club Team.

And the golf was exceptional  as well, with a four way count back being called on to decide the winner in the Mens Division 1. An 44 stableford points winning the Ladies.

We were grateful to have some of our major sponsors with us today for lunch. Steven Wertheim representing Drummond Golf was on hand to present prizes and trophies. He definitely wants to be back next year. Glenn Donovan from Oak Tree Retirement Villages Cairns reaffirmation sponsorships of next years Oak tree Cup.  And Dr Nathan Bridge is keen to keep the association of Chiropractic Works with FNQVGA going.
