GORDONVALE RESULTS TUESDAY 9 JULY 2024

The clouds lifted, the rain ceased , the sun came out and 58 FNQVGA golfers (9 ladies and 49 men) played a very pleasant 18 Hole single Stableford at Gordonvale Golf Club this morning. In spite of the rain over the weekend the course was in very good condition and the "all volunteer" greens team can stand up and take a bow for the remarkable development of the course in the last 6-12 months.Looking forward to coming back on 30 July for the first round of the championships.

Scoring was made difficult by the maximum use of the tee blocks on most holes, but the mention-able round of the day went to Tim Hollman who, with the aide of a few chip-ins recorded a winning score of 40 points in the Mens Div. 1. Well done Tim!

Big thank you to Mel and Josh for getting us started and watered at the end of the round, and the great welcome on the notice board as you enter the race track.

Mel and Josh at GGC today.

Our sponsors today were Brothers Leagues Club Cairns. Why not drop in to Fratelli's Cafe and Bar to catch up with friends?

RESULTS CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 2 JULY 2024

 The best field of the year so far saw 90 players (69 men and 21 ladies) enjoying the glorious conditions at Cairns Golf Club this morning when FNQVGA played an 18 Individual Stableford in the Consistency series. President Peter was glowing in his praise of the reception we received from the Pro Shop, Bar and catering and green staff. The course was a hive of activity as it prepares for the FNQGA Championships this weekend. Good luck to everyone involved.

Get well wishes go out  to members Kay Cleland whose broken ankle resulted from a tussle with a bag of mandarins, and stalwart Russ Gill who has had a tussle with a plastic surgeon. Hope to see you both in action soon as possible
