Results MAREEBA TUESDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2026

 It is a well known meteorological phenomenon, that if it is coming down in buckets on the coast then there are probably just ordinary intermittent busts of sunshine in Mareeba on an otherwise cloudy day. And that's how it was at the Mareeba Golf Club this morning when 57 FNQVGA golfers (49 men and 8 ladies) played a single Stableford for Consistency XIII. As we have come to expect the course was in great condition not least due to the work Greens Superintendent Karl has put in over the last 4 years. Unfortunately this week was Karl's last in Mareeba, their loss will be the Mirage Country Club's gain and we wish Karl all the best in the next phase of his career. Karl has been ably supported by an eager crew of volunteers- commonly known as  Dad's Army plus Enid!

Good news is, the Mareeba Club in upgrading and expanding its Golf Cart fleet in the near future, so all Vets players will be catered for when we next return to Mareeba. 

We had one new member today Rod Accorsini from Millaa Millaa , welcome aboard.

Thanks to our generous sponsor today Drummond Golf Cairns. 

Next week : Atherton Golf Club. 4 Tee star at 8am

AN ADDENDUM

  

   I forgot in the earlier blog to thank three wonderful ladies who have stepped up while Anita, Dougie and Di are having a well earned break- Lois Tait, Cathy Coverdale and Doreen Law, who rose to the occasion this morning,   on our busiest day this year. How good do they make our Vice President Neal look?

RESULTS CAIRNS TUESDAY 25 AUGUST. BIFF'S RED ROOSTER DAY.

 The best field so far this year enjoyed the excellent weather and the very well presented Cairns Golf Course this morning when 88 players (64 men and 24 ladies) basked in the sun at Wooree this morning . And it was the ladies who shone most with Edna Atkinson winning the ladies' prize with an amazing 43 stableford points, and Kay Bergiel being runner up on a count back from Yusuko Moote both with 40 points.Well done ladies. Brendan and his team are to be congratulated on the course at the moment with the tees being a standout!

We had one visitor John Burns and a returning member Greg Perrott. Welcome back! 

We say farewell to Tom and Marg Finch (Yarrambat Vic) , and Kaye Pittman (Shoalhaven Heads NSW)who will be heading south in the near future, apparently it has become warm enough. We look forward to see you next year.

And a thank you to the Cairns Club for your hospitality, we really appreciated the attention we are afforded.

Our sponsor today was Red Rooster, thanks to Damian "Biff" Caldwell for your generosity

RESULTS ATHERTON TUESDAY 18 2026

 About 138 FNQVGA members choose to stay at home today. Who can blame them? Three layers of clothing is not what we in the far north are used to when we play golf. But for the 41 golfers ( 30 men and 11 ladies) who took up the challenge and played in the Cazalys sponsored single stableford, it was an opportunity to improve their standing in the illustrious  Consistency Series. And some players did! mostly Atherton players, but that doesn't matter! Thanks to Mick and his mate who got the hire carts ready and rolled the greens beyond the average vet golfers speed comprehension! To the lovely Myah who served the drinks and made the egg's roll- thank you.  We'll be back in Atherton on 20 October and personally  I cant wait.

Thanks to our generous and loyal sponsor today Cazalys. Little known fact-Cazalys through AFL Cairns maintains all the AFL grounds in the Cairns region, just like FNQRL maintains all the rugby league ovals!

One new member's first outing today Mark Hayward from Millaa Millaa.
