Next game Cairns 6th Aug 19

The next game will be the 1st round of the 2019 championships at Cairns Golf Club on Tuesday 6th Aug. The course is in excellent condition and I am not going to mention the weather at all.

Please be aware that if you intend to play in the championships you must pay for the two games next Tuesday at registration as we need to know how many members are participating in the championships. Those members not interested in playing in the champs are quite welcome to play in the comp of the day for both games as per our normal weekly events.

PRESIDENT REPORT – MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB 30 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at MILLAA MILLAA Golf Club, there were 39 starters consisting of 37 men & 2 ladies. There was one new member, Keith Dixon, Millaa Millaa welcome back to the FNQVGA Keith a 2017 member.

We had one visitor, Col Baldwin from Bundaberg.

Many thanks to Don and his team of hard workers for preparing the course as well as their hospitality inside the clubhouse.

PRESIDENT REPORT – HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB 23 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, there were 93 starters consisting of 74 men & 19 ladies. There was one new member, Dave Madden, Yallourn welcome to the FNQVGA Dave. The course was in great condition and the weather remained fine for the duration of our game. We had four visitors; Ron & Adie Crispin from NZ, Greg Bell & Carl Fox, HMBGC, Max Kennaway Ringwood & John King from Brookwater.

Once again many thanks to Greg Ferry and his team at HMBGC for looking after us and donating a slab to our members who remained for the presentations, Des Jones the lucky recipient certainly appreciated it.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF who provide great support to the Vets and hopefully our members repay that support by visiting DRUMMONDS when purchasing any golf equipment.

There were two talking points on course today, the first was the sighting of a croc behind the 8^th green, many photos snapped and the second was a magnificent hole-in-one on the 4^th hole by an extremely happy Bill Matthews. Well done Bill we will get your ball mounted as a memento of this day as well as providing two balls for the effort.

Next weeks game on 30 July will be at MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB sponsored by DRUMMOND GOLF at the normal time, registration 0700-0800 hope to see you all there. A reminder for the following 2 weeks, 6^th & 13 Aug will be our annual championships at Cairns GC

PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 16 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at ATHERTON Golf Club, there were 73 starters consisting of 61 men & 12 ladies. There were two new members, Brian Bevan, Babinda and Chris Young, Mareeba, welcome to the FNQVGA. The course was in very good condition and is a credit to the greens staff, job well done. Even though it was freezing early in the peace the sun came out and warmed things up a little but the damage was done and the scores below reflected the cold weather. Many thanks Cheryl for your assistance to all of the Vets players.

Our sponsor today was STRATFORD PAINTING CONTRACTORS (Gordon Perry), those requiring any sort of paint job around the house please call Gordon for a quote, you won`t be dissappointed.

A friendly reminder to all golfers please ensure you sign your cards prior to handing them in as there were some disqualified today for forgetting to do same.

There was a pair of sunglasses handed in today and I will bring them with me until claimed.

Next weeks game on 23 July will be at HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB.

Happy birthday for tomorrow Liz.

Robin Pres.
