SUMMER OF GOLF 25-26

 

RESULTS : CAIRNS PRESENTATION/X-MAS STABLEFORD

 A super field of 96  FNQVGA players and friends (73 men and 23 ladies) played a single stableford in oppressive heat and humidity at Cairns Golf Club this morning. The weather was easily negated by the wonderful conditions of the Cairns links. One visitor was overheard to say "this is the best I have seen course in years!" Congratulations to all involved. 

Big thank you to the pro shop for the efficient and jovial manner  they got everyone into their buggies, as well as Santa's little helpers behind the bar. 

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.   

 We were grateful to have some of our major sponsors with us today for lunch.  Although Glenn Donovan from Oak Tree Retirement Villages Cairns was unable to attend, he  reaffirmation sponsorships of next years Oak tree Cup.  And Dr Nathan Bridge is keen to keep the association of Chiropractic Works with FNQVGA going.
