MOSSMAN MELBOURNE CUP STABLEFORD RESULTS.

 Another great field of 51 FNQVGA golfers (38 men and 13 ladies) traveled up the coast to the Mossman Golf Club this morning and all were glowing in their praise of the way the course was presented. The little more run in the fairways and the trueness of the well covered greens was much appreciated. The recently installed Hunter satellite signal controlled automated irrigation system  seems to be working a treat. Well done Mossman and all those involved.

We had one new member today Noel Rumble from Half Moon Bay. Welcome aboard and we hope you enjoy your stay. You certainly picked a good day to start. 

Next week we travel to Gordonvale to play a game that will be come more clear as the day approaches!

You can all sleep more soundly now, as we have a full contingent of Committee persons who have put their hand up for next year. .

LOST WALLET

Missing Super Heroes Wallet

 One of our members misplaced his wallet this morning at the Mossman Golf Club , between the Proshop and his Golf Cart before going out onto the course.  If it inadvertent ended up in your possession or you know where it might be please let us know. Or, if you have a bag similar to the one below please check the pockets for a wallet with Super Heroes on it, he could have mistaken your bag for his.

RESULTS CAIRNS 4BBB TUESDAY 27 OCTOBER 2026

 

71 discerning FNQVGA golfers (57 men and 14 ladies) played the Cairns Gold Club at its best this morning in a 4BBB stableford on the Club's "15 out 19 in " course. The only problem was that your scribe only become aware of the course in play when he arrived at the "out of play " 15 hole. Oops! Sorry about that! Thanks to everybody associated with the club, in the Proshop, behind the bar and especially the green keeping staff - you all did very good.

The nominations for the Management Committee close next Monday  November 2. We are looking in articular for any members with skills in the Vice-President or general committee department, or even if you dont but are just willing to help, to come forward. It has been suggested that learning a new skill can delay the onset of dementia- by absolutely hours!

Next we we play on Monday (the day before the Melbourne Cup) at the Mossman Golf Course at beautiful Newell Beach. We tee off at 8am with a 4 Tee start.  Hot tip for the Cup, a horse trained by Chris Waller or Ciaron Maher.

ATHERTON GOLF CLUB RESULTS TUESDAY 20 OCTOBER

 A beautiful day on a beautiful golf course this morning for 46 FNQVGA golfers(43 men and some ladies) when we played a single stableford. And, most of these stayed on for the presentations which made for a convivial atmosphere in the clubhouse. 

Wasn't it good to see retiring  President Peter Clarke win the Mens Div 1 prize with a very good 41 stableford points. Peter claims the last time he won was the same year North Devil winger, Kenny Berrigan toe-poked, from the sideline, the conversion  of a Nick Geiger try just before the half time siren blew and  sent the Lang Park crowd into a frenzy. Norths went on to win 20-6. But all of  this might not be true! Peter did win, he is retiring after completing three consecutive years as president.

You will have noticed today that the One Golf platform was very slow. Nothing to do with us, but they are looking into it. However it was our fault when we presented Will Gray with the Mens Div 2 winners prize for his 35 points when it should have been Beorn Peacey who had 39 points. The error has since been corrected.

 Special thanks to our sponsors today Elements Air and Refrigeration. Give Paul and Tara a call! Get your air conditioner serviced before it heats up!

NEXT WEEK: CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 4BBB 7AM START.
