RESULTS HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 3 MARCH

 The Half Moon Bay Golf course had had over 70mm of rain in the 24 hours to 6am this morning when the FNQVGA decided to change its competition set down for today from a 2Ball Ambrose to an individual stableford on the dry Gray Course.And what a good move it was. 51 players (45men and 6 ladies ) flexed their muscles on this shorter course and no fewer than 6 players recorded 40 stableford points, including GD who was only defeated by the Australian Count-back System for the Mens Div 1 prize.

Thanks to everyone at Yorkeys for accommodating us so ably, and especially the Green Staff for the  excellent condition of a well watered course,  especially the uniform greens. 

We had one new member this morning Greg Dujan from Half Moon Bay.
