ATHERTON RESULTS 15 AUGUST 2023

8th Tee Atherton 7.55 am

 

 Not all who tread these greens can win success,
But few can hold the cups and medals bright.
Yet all may gain that priceless blessedness,
The ruddy health that makes all burdens light.

What an amazing day on the Atherton Tablelands today!

Fifty FNQVGA golfers (42 Men and 8 Ladies ) were rewarded with ideal golfing conditions at the Atherton Golf Club this morning when we played an 18 Hole Single Stableford competition , just for the heck of it! Well, for trophies by Cazalys actually, Thanks Cazalys. 

Scores weren't brilliant,   but that was easily outweighed by the enjoyment factor, with a good crowd staying on for the presentations. Thanks to Cheryl in the clubhouse for your great hospitality.

FNQVGA Championships Round 2

 

In weather that changed more times than costumes at a Taylor Swift concert, FNQVGA Vets completed Round 2 of the Championships at Half Moon Bay this morning. In spite of the conditions, some excellent score were returned: notably, the Mens Division 1 winner Neal Arnott who shot a 4 over par 74 (net 66) to win on a count back from the unlucky Des Jones (66). More outstanding was the Mens Div. 2 winner Barry  Pike on 65 net. Well done. 

A special thanks to Ollie , Sasha and Tanya in the Pro Shop and Steve behind the bar.

Our most generous sponsor the the Championships overall and the daily trophies was Drummond Golf. A big hank you to Darren Golder and his team in Cairns.

Drummond Vouchers 2023

 

Update on Drummond Vouchers

 

It’s time to provide some clarification regarding FNQVGA Drummond Golf prize vouchers, especially following recent directions made by Drummond head office to the Cairns store.

 

We have two different types of Drummond Golf vouchers.

 

1.  There are the printed vouchers which are donated by Drummond Golf Cairns as our major sponsor, but there are restrictions, the main ones being that they are now only valid for 30 days, can only be redeemed at Drummond Golf Cairns store, cannot be used at the same time as any other voucher, and can only be used for a purchase (not for store credit as was the case previously).

 

2.  There are the gift card vouchers purchased from Drummond Golf on behalf of our other sponsors who donate cash, and are the same as any other Drummond gift cards; i.e. they are valid for 10 years and can be redeemed at any Drummond store.

 

Please see Captain Pete if you need any further explanation.
