Next game Cairns GC 13 Aug 19

Next Tuesday will be a stroke event, the 2nd round of the FNQVGA 2019 championships at Cairns Golf Club. The course is in great shape and ready for some good scoring.

 Please ensure that you mark your stableford scores on your card as they need to be completed for handicap purposes otherwise Wal & Andrina have to calculate them on your behalf which is not a good look.

Good golfing and hope to see you all there.

Regards

Robin

President Report & Results for HMBGC 23 Jul 19

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
