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.

RESULTS GORDONVALE TUESDAY 13 OCTOBER

The Golf Australia Count Back System can be a very cruel instrument at times. Just ask FNQVGA member Rich Michalski who would have been feeling pretty pleased with his efforts when he completed his stableford round at the Gordonvale Golf Club this morning along with 63 FNQVGA players ( 48 men and 15 ladies) in overcast but fine conditions. Rich would have thought his 40 stableford points would secure him a winners voucher- not so. Instead he picked a ball in the rundown!

Thanks to the Gordonvale  Club and all those associated with the Pro Shop and preparation of the course. We appreciate how welcoming you are.

We especially thank our new sponsors for the day Alan and Carmelita Drege.

HALF MOON BAY RESULTS TUESDAY 6 OCTOBER

 A glorious day on the Trinity Bay Coastline and a very well prepared golf course conspired to draw out some excellent scores from the 64 FNQVGA players (48 men and 16 ladies) at Yorkey's  Knob this morning.  

The ladies winner was Joy Westmore with  40 stableford points, and the Mens Div 1 winner,  with 41 points was Greg Althaus who recovered well from  not being  able to convert an 18" birdie put on the 9th. 

However, the highlight of the day was the Mens Div 2 winner Mal Meadows who, in spite of missing at least 6 very short puts, recorded 43 brilliant points. His 82 off the bat was his best gross score this decade! New smile, new swing, new result!

We had two rejoining members today which brings our membership for the year up to 199- lets see if can break the 2 ton barrier next week.

Our sponsor today was FNQVGA Patron Claud Clark who was on hand to present the trophies.Thanks you Claud

A big thank you to the  the Half Moon Bay Golf Club for our seven visits this year, we do appreciate your warm hospitality, and look forward to returning next year.
