HALF MOON BAY RESULTS TUESDAY 22 SEPTEMBER

 A good portion of the strong field of 70 FNQVGA players (57 men and 13 ladies) was on hand at the presentations this morning for Consistency XV. The weather was spectacular, HMB pro shop and bar  were very hospitable and the course was in great nick. Todd and Cath's Kitchen put a great finish to a very pleasurable day.

 Our sponsor today was Oak Tree Retirement Village Cairns , and we thank them for their generous support throughout the year.

We had one visitor today Bob Scott from Rich River Golf Club on the banks of the mighty Murray River at Moama.  We also had one new member today Paul Chiari from Millaa Millaa welcome Paul. With new additions and renewals our membership is up to 194!

We also had a pleasant surprise visit  from FNQVGA stalwart Russ Gill, who has been missing for a large part of the year while he has been giving  his Plastic Surgeon, Oncologist and Radiation Therapist  a fair examination of their knowledge and skills. Apparently they passed and Russ will be back to play next season.

It will be a pleasure to return to Yorkeys on 6 October  to play for Trophies sponsored by FNQVGA patron Claud Clark.

FNQVGA President Peter Clarke welcomes Tropic Vets tour leader Bill Finch to the Cairns Golf Club. 

The Cairns Golf Club hosted  FNQVGA players and a visiting contingent of 23 Tropic Vets from the Tropics Golf Club, Townsville this morning. Once the initial precipitation cleared 70 players (50 men and 20 ladies) enjoyed the early spring weather and golfers were universal in their praise of the presentation of the course. A big thank you to the Cairns Club for your hospitality.

We had one new member join today John Burns from Cairns Golf Club, which brings our membership up to 190 for the year.

RESULTS ATHERTON TUESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2026

 The fog burnt off this morning to reveal one of those magical Atherton Tableland spring days, clear blue skies, comfortable temperatures and just the slightest zephyrs from the N-N East. then,  the sound of Real Estate Salesmen driving in "For Sale" signs in front of  everything that looks half sellable, and , the unthinkable sight of Hallorans Hill on fire!  All good enough to attract 53 FNQVGA players and friends( 45 men and 8 ladies). We had five new members join today Peter Douglas , Alan Welsh , Greg Lee from Atherton, Fred Anderson from Millaa Millaa and  Jim Price from Mareeba as well as  a visitor Geoff Stockall from Smithfield Heights. Welcome.

We had two Eagles today Russell Hilder No 5 and Greg Lee No 7. Well done!

MENS CONSISTENCY 2026

 With only two more rounds available to score with, the Consistency Trophy is rapidly drawing to an exciting result. Neal  Arnott (328) currently holds the lead by the slimmest of margins- just one stableford point from Tim Hollman(327). Dave Lawler is a further 4 points back, however, he currently has two scores of 27 points in his 10 counters so he could easily make up the deficit. Ron Blake and Pommy English are in the next line of betting but probably need a firm track and some luck in running to greet the judge in first place. 

There is a smokey in the field who currently only  has 9 counting rounds, who could come from the clouds over this lot.. Who could that be?
