 It wasn't a good day in Mareeba today, it was glorious! A lovely crisp morning warming up to a cloudless blue sky, the Mareeba Golf Course in excellent condition and the scores were ...well who cares .. it was just great to be out playing golf. 

With some of our members away at Capricorn Vets golf on the Central Coast, 54 players (10 ladies and 44 men) played a Single Stableford for trophies by Brothers Leagues Club.

Once again we were ably looked after by Owen, Debbie  and Cathy in the Clubhouse, and congratulations to Karl, Jim and their team of volunteers.

Results CAIRNS Tuesday 22 August 2023

 There were no excuses for returning a bad score at Cairns Golf Club this morning when friendly conditions prevailed for the FNQVGA consistency series  and 84 players (19 ladies and 65 men) took full advantage. Not the least was Suda Woodward who birdied the 18th  to return a brilliant 43 points to win the Ladies division. Well done.

The Cairns Club is at the midpoint of it Championships and in spite of the valiant efforts of the greens crew, the greens are showing the  affect of incessant wet weather this year. Who knows , perhaps they should try some "Wet and Forget" on their fungal problems!

Drummond Golf were are reliant sponsors and we thank them very much.

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.
