Tee off from 7am
Now the Winter Solstice has passed the days will be getting longer, so more time to enjoy golf. Invite a friend to come to Innisfail on Tuesday- the only club we play at that is out of our Zone!
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.

| Cirrocumulus clouds are common in winter and generally indicate fair, cold weather. And they're really cool looking. |
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.

An excellent field of 56 FNQVGA golfers (44men and 12 ladies) shared the very well manicured Mareeba Golf Course with the ever increasing mob of macro-pods this morning. The green keeping group of Karl, Jim, Rod, Michael, Enid and Bub et.al. are doing an outstanding job preparing the tableland course on the northern or drier end of the Atherton Tableland.
A special thanks to Brian who single-handedly opened the clubhouse, prepped the buggies, served the drinks and made everyone feel welcomed.
Today we had a repeat visitor from Gladstone, Russell Spencer, as well as a new member from HMB Mike MacManus, welcome to you both.
Our generous sponsor today was Chiropractic Works Cairns. So for care that is tailored to your body don't hesitate to get in touch with Chiropractic Works.
