Next Game Half Moon Bay 5 Mar

All,

Our next game is a 2ball Ambrose at Half Moon Bay & if you haven't already arranged your partners don't worry, we'll pair you up with someone.

The course should be in good condition as there is no persistent rain forecast, but in case we do get some, we could end up playing their wet course.

We're advised that the kitchen is in process of being renovated, so the usual eagerly awaited hamburgers will not be available.  However, there will be sandwiches.

The game is sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 19 Feb

Hi Members,

Welcome back to everyone for the first game of 2019 as we missed Mareeba two weeks ago due to the recent rains.

Today`s game was at Gordonvale GC with 80 starters consisting of 60 men & 20 ladies. There was one visitor (England) and six new members, Rich Michalski, Chris Trevenen, Eric Howarth, Aartje Ottens all from Cairns GC, Graham Fowles from HMBGC and Gordon Falconer from G/Vale GC.

Our sponsor was CAZALYS AFL and the FNQVGA is very happy to have them back as a 2019 sponsor.

The weather was typical for this time of the year and extremely hot. Many thanks to Belinda for looking after us as she always does and bringing out the cold water & ice to keep us cool in trying conditions.

The next FNQVGA game is scheduled for HMBGC in two weeks on 05 Mar.

The next Tablelands Summer of Golf game will be at Mareeba next Tuesday the 26 Feb for those interested.

Robin Pres.

Next Game Gordonvale 19 Feb

All,

Our first game of the season (since Mareeba was cancelled a fortnight ago) is at Gordonvale.

It is a single stableford, sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

The course is in good condition considering the amount of rain we've had, but there's quite a bit of work in progress like mowing off fairway & weed control in the greens.  Machinery hasn't been able to get into the drains as yet, although they may have dried out enough for that to occur before next Tuesday & in any case they are best avoided as usual.

Hopefully the forecasters have it right for the next few days & it is a bit cooler with rain staying away, but remember to check the board downstairs for local rules.

See you there.

Atherton game 12 Feb on but.....

See their facebook page for restricted conditions of play from 8am on yellow (wet) course, if rain stays away.

Mareeba Game 5 Feb CANCELLED

All,

We left it to the last possible moment to see if Mareeba would be playable, but have had confirmation this morning that it is not.

This is not the best start to our year, but hopefully the rain will have stopped in time for our next game in a fortnight.

First Game Mareeba 5 Feb????

All,

Our first game of 2019 is due at Mareeba next Tuesday, weather gods permitting.

We won't know till Monday if the course will be playable, so watch this space.

If it is on it will be a nice easy single stableford, sponsored by Reef Casino.

More to follow when we hear from Mareeba.
