PATRONS TROPHY R 1 INNISFAIL RESULTS

 

Harry Vardon would have been very proud of the small band of golfing tragics (29 men and 4 ladies) who took on the Innisfail Golf Course this morning. Vardon was known for his brevity, and we will attempt that here. Because of the reduced numbers, we played a medley stableford. Neal Arnott won with 34 points from Daniel Cox on 31 points on a countback from Ron Blake also on 31 points. Everyone who was at the presentations received  a ball. 

Thanks to the Innisfail Golf Club and it's members  for the use of your course and especially your golf carts. Your hospitality is very much appreciated. 

Next week Cairns Golf Club for Consistency Round 9 sponsored by Drummond Golf .

Tee off from 7am.  

 

PATRONS TROPHY INNISFAIL TUESDAY 30 JUNE

                " No true golfer is satisfied with a little of the game, if there is no substantial reason why                        he(she)  should should not have much of it"   Harry Vardon "The Complete Golfer" 1905

 

 The Patrons Trophy series commences this Tuesday 30 June at the Innisfail Golf Club. The Trophy is played at the three 9 hole courses we visit during the year, Innisfail, Babinda and Millaa Millaa. The winner has the best aggregate stableford score for the three courses. Innisfail is the only course,technically,  out of our region that we visit. 

This year, to elevate the social aspect of our weekly game, it has been decided to use a shotgun start at 8am ( or there abouts), nominations open from 7.30am. To assist the match committee to start you on the right tee,  could you clearly mark on your card if you are a walker 'W' or carter 'C'.   Patience would also be appreciated!

 18 Hole individual stableford

Shotgun start at 8am

Nominate from 7.30am

RESULTS ATHERTON 2 BALL AMBROSE

 On a day when changing weather conditions tested all players it was probably inevitable that a craggy pair from Millaa Millaa should win the 2 Ball Ambrose by five and a half shots, at the Atherton Golf Club this morning. A good field of 48 players (43 men and 5 ladies) enjoyed all the Tablelands had to offer including a maximum temp of 15 degrees. Thanks to Myra behind the bar for your hospitality.

We had one new member join today Russell Spence from Gladstone. Welcome.

Our generous sponsor today was the Reef Hotel Casino where luxury meets excitement and chances are you are about to lose! Play , stay , dine and eat in the heart of Cairns.

HALF MOON BAY RESULTS TUESDAY 16 2026

 A glorious day for golf today and 69 FNQVGA golfers (53 men and 16 ladies) took full advantage of this great winter weather. Thanks to everyone at the Yorkeys Knob club for your great hospitality-your course is looking and playing just great.

Our sponsor today was Drummond Golf Cairns. Thanks to Darren and his team in Arthur Street for your support. Just a  reminder that the vouchers received by the victorious today have a finite 30 day shelf life. So get along to Drummond and spend it!

We would also like to thank the HMB Deep Water Retrieval Team for locating and retrieving a waywardly directed 6 iron from one of the ponds today. The thrower claims it slipper out of his grip. You be the judge from the look on his face when it was returned by VPres Neal Arnott

Kenny got his 6 iron back.
