RESULTS ATHERTON 2 BALL AMBROSE

 On a day when changing weather conditions tested all players it was probably inevitable that a craggy pair from Millaa Millaa should win the 2 Ball Ambrose by five and a half shots, at the Atherton Golf Club this morning. A good field of 48 players (43 men and 5 ladies) enjoyed all the Tablelands had to offer including a maximum temp of 15 degrees. Thanks to Myra behind the bar for your hospitality.

We had one new member join today Russell Spence from Gladstone. Welcome.

Our generous sponsor today was the Reef Hotel Casino where luxury meets excitement and chances are you are about to lose! Play , stay , dine and eat in the heart of Cairns.

HALF MOON BAY RESULTS TUESDAY 16 2026

 A glorious day for golf today and 69 FNQVGA golfers (53 men and 16 ladies) took full advantage of this great winter weather. Thanks to everyone at the Yorkeys Knob club for your great hospitality-your course is looking and playing just great.

Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf Cairns. Thanks to Darren and his team in Arthur Street for your support. Just a  reminder that the vouchers received by the victorious today have a finite 30 day shelf life. So get along to Drummond and spend it!

We would also like to thank the HMB Deep Water Retrieval Team for locating and retrieving a waywardly directed 6 iron from one of the ponds today. The thrower claims it slipper out of his grip. You be the judge from the look on his face when it was returned by VPres Neal Arnott

Kenny got his 6 iron back.

   

Next week Atherton for a 2 Ball Ambrose. Tee off from 8am.

Congratulations to Karl and his team of volunteers- Jim, Rod,  Bub, Enid, Ron , Andrew, Bernie the weed assassin all  under the careful eye of Mick the Greens Director and President Kirra.

MAREEBA TUESDAY 9 JUNE 2026 CONSISTENCY #7

 

 

 

FNQVGA elevates (440m) to the drier end of the Atherton Tableland next Tuesday when we are the guests of the Mareeba Golf Club. Typically known for its pacey smallish greens, well groomed fairways and abundance of fauna, the Mareeba club has had a long association with Far North Queensland veteran golf. The FNQVGA foundation president in 1983 was Mareeba newsagent and sporting goods proprietor Fred Frazer. Fred, an ex-Sydney policeman,  was a difficult man to get along with and his tenure only lasted 18 months!

Get a coffee on your way from one  the many excellent coffee outlets in and around Mareeba. The Cafe Crema van at the Information Centre comes highly recommended- Annalisa will look after you!
