BABINDA RESULTS TUESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER 2025

 As correctly predicted by your scribe earlier this week, today was indeed the best day of the year to be playing the Babinda Golf Club. Even the 1mm of predicted precipitation failed to materialize and the temperature was very comfortable. How good is the Babinda course now? The greens would leave some of  the more glamorous courses panting! Congratulation to all concerned. Also congratulations to Gabrielle and her very jolly band of workers in the clubhouse- nothing is too much trouble. 

Unfortunately the great course conditions could not draw out a great field but the 33 players (28men and 5 ladies) had an enjoyable day even though the scores don't reflect it. Remember that todays scores go towards the Patrons Trophy.

Our generous sponsor today was The reef Hotel Casino.  

 As correctly pointed out during play by the eventual winner,  MiScore had a little glitch with the Mens Handicapping, with most players given two or three shots more than they were entitled to. This has been corrected and the results below reflect the correct points scored.  The end result.was not affected

BABINDA PATRONS TROPHY TUESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER

FNQVGA  heads off to Babinda this Tuesday to play a single stableford for trophies by Reef Hotel Casino. It is the second leg of the Patron's Trophy which is the best aggregate score for the 9 hole courses we play, namely Innisfail, Babinda and Millaa Millaa.

Tee off from 7am, nominate from 6.30am

Babinda has an average annual rainfall of 4279.4mm however only 52.4mm of it falls in the month of September! And,  what is more encouraging, less than 1.5mm is predicted to fall on Tuesday morning when  the maximum temperature is expected to be 22℃. So, Tuesday morning is probably the best time to play Babinda Golf course all year, do yourself a favor and give it a go. 
 

RESULTS MAREEBA TUESDAY 2 SEPT

 A beautiful morning greeted FNQVGA golfers at the picturesque Mareeba Golf Club this morning for Round number 13 in the race to the Consistency Trophy. 49 golfers (42 men and 7 ladies) had an enjoyable morning of golf. For some the greens were too fast, for others they were just right! Congratulations to Greens Superintendent Karl Kraus and his enthusiastic band of volunteers for how the course was presented. Also thanks to Brian for his efforts getting the buggies ready, behind the bar, making sandwiches and keeping everyone happy. What a multi-tasker? 

Drummond Golf Cairns were the generous trophy donors today. Where would we be without them? 

Next Week: Babinda Golf Club for a 7am start. It is a Patrons Trophy round.

RESULTS HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 26 AUGUST 2025.

 

A great field of 77 FNQVGA Golfers (60 men and 17 ladies) enjoyed a beautiful morning on the Yorkeys links playing an individual stableford generous sponsored RED ROOSTER. Special thanks to local "top rooster" Damon Caldwell for his most generous support of our game today.

The highlight of the day was the ultimate golf shot from the very skillful Mark Davidson. Mark guided an 8 iron the 116m required into the hole on the 11Hole at the Half Moon Bay course.  Congratulation and thanks for the generous shout of the bar. 

Thanks to everyone at the Half Moon Bay Golf Club for your hospitality and to Todd'N'Cath's  Kitchen.
