RESULTS MOSSMAN TUESDAY 19 MAY


 A great field of 56 jolly FNQVGA golfers (45 Men and 11 Ladies) had a most enjoyable mornings golf at the Mossman Golf Club on beautiful Newell Beach this morning. And, how very unusual to see the club not surrounded by fields of sugar cane. Green keepers Matty and Daniel( and their team of helpers)  must be congratulated on the presentation of the course. 

A thank you  to  Ralph and Pris in the pro-shop for looking after buggy hire, to Kim behind the bar and to CC in the kitchen. You all made us feel very welcome.

We had one new member join today Beorn Peacey from Millaa Millaa and one visitor green keeper extraordinaire John Morris from Mossman.  

Our new sponsor today was Health Management Dietitians and their manager director Mitch Smith an accredited sports dietitian and golfer was able to enjoy a game in  the great weather. Health Management, have built a strong legacy supporting athletes across Cairns and the Tablelands.

They believe that excellence is geographically irrelevant — no matter where you train, you deserve expert advice. That’s why they offer tailored sports nutrition services for elite athletes, weekend warriors, and those chasing big goals, like vet golfers!

They are proud to be the official dietitians of the CQU Cairns Taipans, and hey work with everyone from first-time runners to Olympians.

Sponsor Health Management..

Speed of play: Just remember that the correct position of your group is directly behind the group in front of you not directly in front of the group behind you. 

How can you improve speed of play?

  • be ready to play when it is your turn to play, especially on the greens.
  • park you buggy around the green where you will be exiting green , and going to next tee. Don't park in front of green.
  • be attentive where your playing partners shot has gone- decreases time looking for balls. 
  • pick up if you cant score on a hole.
  • have a positive attitude.
