Results MAREEBA GOLF CLUB TUESDAY 22 JULY 2025

 Another great field of 52 players (43men and 9 ladies)who  traveled up the hill and through the carnage that is the Kuranda Range to play a single Stableford at the well appointed Mareeba Golf Club this morning. The weather was overcast with just a little mizzle that could hardly cool down some of the hot golf that was played. 

Course Superintendent Karl should be congratulated on how he presents the course. He is ably helped by a large team of volunteers- Gentleman Jim who does everything,  Rod who is the general consultant with 50 years of green keeping knowledge,  Kirra who rolled the greens this morning,  Bernie the Butcher  in change of weed spotting and hole placement and his understudy Charlie,  Michael who keeps the rough under control and is up skilling to tee mowing, Enid for rough cutting,  Peter who mowed the greens on Saturday morning. And others all under the watchful eye of Course greens director Michael.  A real team effort. 

We would also like to thank Brian in the clubhouse for his wonderful assistance with  buggies and sustenance. 

We should also thank everyone on the committee for the effort that is required in organizing our weekly matches.  

Our very generous sponsor today was Cazalys.

BEWICK HOLES OUT!

 

 

 

After 35 years of trying, affable Mareeba golfer Charlie Bewick achieved the ultimate in club level golf by scoring a Hole-In-One on the 143m No 8 in Mareeba during the FNQVGA competition this morning. With his trusty Callaway Stealth graphite shafted 8 iron Charlie, a keen tactician, landed the shot just short, it bounce up onto the green, release and rolled into the cup. His fellow players were heard to say that once it bounced it never looked like it was going to miss! Charlie commented that he hadn't been that excited since he scored the winning try for his Kuranda team to win the Reserve Grade Eacham Rugby League  grand final in 1978. Well done Mr Bewick!

The 93 players (74 men and 19 ladies) were very appreciative of the extra bit of run on the fairways and the ever improving greens which have a nicely consistent surface. Thanks goes out to everyone in the Pro shop  and clubhouse for your assistance today.

We had 5 visitors today, John Burns from Cairns Club, Stephen Jones from Pine Rivers, Peter Clarke  (yes another one) from Future Golf, Gary Clarke from Pacific Dunes and Gary Meek returned from North Rocky. Brian Brown from the Atherton Club has rejoined after a slight hiatus. We also had two new member join today, Grant Turner and Yasuko Moote both from the Cairns Club.Welcome aboard. 

A special thank you to our major sponsor Drummond Golf Cairns. Just a reminder that the Drummond Golf vouchers won today have a 30 day lifespan, so get out there and cash them in. 

We wish our treasurer Bob Adams a very happy and safe two months holiday, well deserved. Unfortunately Dee Kottnig has resigned from the Management Committee. We thank Dee for the work she has done over the last two years.  And so we are looking for  someone to join the Committee, or just to help out on the Captains table over the next two months. Please make yourself known next week in Gordonvale.

RESULTS INNISFAIL TUESDAY 1 JULY 2025

 A perfect day on the Cassowary Coast today, and a beautifully presented Innisfail Golf Course but 52 FNQVGA golfers (43 men and 9 ladies) struggled to come to terms with difficult pin positions, heavy air and a lack of run. Queensland blue couch greens in excellent condition require a different skill set for golfers to come out on top and the ever consistent trio of Keith Schirmer, George and Edna Atkinson show their consistency and resilience to take home the cookies.

Innisfail Golf Club always excels with its hospitality and today was no different. Thanks to the Cockles and bar staff for your help.

We had one new member today Scott Whybird from Atherton as well as a visitor from Cairns John Burns. 

Thanks to our Sponsors today Davidson Coaching.
