RESULTS CAIRNS TUESDAY 1 APRIL 2025

 A field of 60 fearless FNQVGA Golfers (46 men and 14 ladies) competed in an Individual 18 Hole Stableford at Cairns Golf Club this morning. The only thing warmer than the hospitality shown by all staff at Club was the weather which reached an apparent temperature of 38.4 degrees Celsius at midday! Thank you to everybody involved- made us feel a little bit special today. 

We had 4 new members join today, all from Cairns Golf Club, Toshie Suenaga, Patti and Michael Ryan and Mark Stallman, Welcome.

 Our very generous sponsor today was Brother Leagues Club. A visit to Fratelli's for a delicious meal and a thirst quenching ale is highly recommended.

RESULTS HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 4 MARCH

 An encouraging field of 66 golfers (53 men and 13 ladies) played a 2 Ball Ambrose competition in ideal , if not a little warm conditions at Half Moon Bay  this morning. The Yorkey's course was in commendable condition, with the greens offering a uniform surface and with very good pace. Well done to the green keeping staff and volunteers!

We had seven new players join us today, Carl and Vicki Beck, Andy and Evodia Hynes, Murray Goodman and George Kyriazis all from Half Moon Bay, and, Trevor Dunstan from Cairns.  It was good to see Kay Cleland play her first game in almost  twelve months following a broken ankle last year. Also, thank you to Russ Gill or writing up the board- he does a fair job for a mollydooker!

Our very generous returning sponsor was the Reef Hotel Casino. Remember you might win some but you will loose more- or something like that.
