President's Report & Results HMB 5 Mar

Hi Members,

Todays game was something different a 2 person Ambrose at HMBGC with 84 starters consisting of 61 men & 23 ladies. Todays sponsor was Cazaly`s AFL who have continued their support for 2019, much appreciated by all members.

There were 9 new members today, Bob Adams (Castlecove Sydney), Robin Beck (Atherton), Christine Ruddick (Gordonvale) Reanne Warne, Sharyn Harrington, Liz Girdler, Frances Merkel, Peggy Nitschke and Julie Carran all from HMBGC, welcome to you all. Also welcome back to Keith Hillier who has been out of action for approx 18 months.

The weather was excellent and the course was in great shape and by all reports everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and appreciated some fine weather for a change, perhaps the rain is going to some other area than the far north finally. Appreciation to Greg Ferry and his team for their fine efforts for the presentation of the course, also many thanks to Greg for donating a slab (won by an over excited Darryl De Clifford) to the members who stay behind for the presentations and supported HMBGC.

A short reminder for members when finishing their game please put your score on the board prior to putting your gear away as it assists the Captain & V/Captain finalising the results and quicken up the presentation.

The FNQVGA next game will be at Atherton on 19 Mar and Millaa Millaa will be the venue for next week`s Tablelands Summer of Golf game.

HMB 5 Mar - FULL COURSE OPEN

All,


We have been advised that the full course is open and in good condition. They are renovating 5 tees so you will tee off forward on a couple of holes.

Don't forget the kitchen will be closed but sandwiches will be available.

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.

Mareeba Game 26 Feb ON

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.
