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.  

Next week: Cairns Golf Club for a single Stableford sponsored by Red Rooster. Tee off from 7am.

FNQVGA DRUMMOND GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 RESULTS

 

FNQVGA 2026 Championships Results:

This year's Championships produced some outstanding performances, none more so than the effort of A Grade Champion Dave Lawler who shot below his age for each round to secure his  seventh FNQVGA Title. Lyn Small who lost last year's Ladies title on a count back went one better this year to claim a well deserved victory. 

Congratulations to all the winners. And a big thank you to our most generous sponsor Drummond Golf Cairns. And also a big thank you to members who filled in on the Captains Desk over the two weeks.

The presentation of trophies will be held at our annual Presentation Day/Xmas Breakup  on 24 November at Cairns Golf Club.

Thanks to the Half Moon Bay  for hosting this year's Champs- the course was a pleasure to play on. Thanks to the Pro Shop staff for looking after Buggy bookings. Once again Todd and Cath's Kitchen kept us well nourished.

TUESDAY 11 AUGUST 2026 FNQVGA ROUND 2

 

The second and final round of the FNQVGA Championships will be played on Tuesday 11 August at the Half Moon Bay Golf Club, Yorkeys Knob . All Association members and visitors are welcome to play in a nett competition held in conjunction sponsored by Drummond Golf Cairns.

 In the Men's Championships Dave Lawler has skipped to an early lead and will take some running down from there. "Pommy"English is in a trio of players in second place , and,  he is also the B Grade leader! He would need a few ruck infringements to go against him to lose it from there- perhaps that can be arranged. 

The C Grade sees a three way encounter between Ron Sylvester Matt Brading and Peter Dalziel with Chris Stewart a further shot behind. The smart money is on the Gordonvale Guy to overcome the locals by a shot.

Lyn Small appears to have the Ladies sown up, but stranger things have happened - by that I mean  the 5th Hole!

Good luck to everyone! 

Tee off from 7am

Nominate from 6.30am

CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 4 AUGUST DAILY RESULTS

 

The odd scud at tee off time hardly dampened the enthusiasm of the59 FNQVGA players (47 men and 12 ladies) at Half Moon Bay Golf Club this morning, but they might has had some effect on performance.

We had one new member loin today Richard Bowes from HMB. Welcome aboard.
