RESULTS TUESDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2024 GORDONVALE

Ann encouraging 58 players (49 men and 9 ladies) including 4 new members played an 18 Hole Stableford Competition at Gordonvale Golf Club this morning. Conditions were very humid, but this didnt stop the locals from taking advantage of local knowledge and recording some excellent scores.

Thanks to GGC manager Elliott and his assistant Lorraine for their attentiveness in the Pro Shop and the volunteers who had the course in good condition. The advantage of "preferred lies" is very helpful at this time of year.

Our sponsor today was The Reef Hotel Casino - "Where luxury meets excitement" And remember to gamble responsibly! Your generous support is greatly appreciated.

RESULTS OPENING DAY MAREEBA 30 JANUARY 2024

A small group of 33 players traveled to Mareeba this morning to contest an 18 Hole Stableford competition for men and ladies Veteran Golfers. Yes, it was hot,but not too hot; the forecast was for possible thunderstorms, and a small disturbance did roll across he course for two minutes, but all-in-all it was playable if testing.

A big 'thank you' to our major sponsor this year Drummond Golf for helping to promote veteran golfers in Far North Queensland. Thank you to Darren Golder and his team in Cairns.

Mareeba Golf Club was very welcoming as usual, thanks go to Club President Owen and Vice-President Debbie.

The greens keeper Karl and his band of workers Jim and Rod had done their best in the limited amount of time available to prepare the course which has had almost 1200mm of rain in the last two months. Good work fellas.

Reigning Club champion Neal Arnott show why he is the best, and recorded 36 stableford points to comfortably win the Mens Div1 prize, Well done Neal!
