Results Cairns Tuesday 28 November 2023


 A shrill air-horn blast signaled the start of an 18 hole Stableford event to wind up the FNQVGA  golfing year, admittedly not as romantic as a shotgun retort, but more practical even for a shotgun start! 87 players (69 men and 18 ladies ) braved the heat and humidity, and some pretty good scores were recorded. 

Thanks to Anton and his helpers in the Pro Shop for getting us away in buggies; to Jess, Tatiana and Jemima for quenching the thirst. 

We were honorer to have with us today Dr Nathan Bridge from Chiropractic Works,  Tylan Davies from major sponsor Drummond Golf and Jan Siedle to present the Louis Siedle Memorial Trophy.

Our sponsor was Reef Casino.
