RESULTS MAREEBA CONSISTENCY #7

 
A brilliant day started this morning when 72 FNQVGA golfers (57 Men and  15 Ladies ) took on the challenge of the Mareeba Golf Course which was in the promised near championship condition. The greens were flat and true, and the fairways offered  more roll that players had experienced all year. Congratulations to Karl and his team of volunteers- Jim, Rod,  Bub, Enid, Ron , Andrew, Bernie the weed assassin all  under the careful eye of Mick the Greens Director and President Kirra.  
 
Special thanks to Brian behind the bar; he seems to get everything done without getting flustered.

MAREEBA TUESDAY 9 JUNE 2026 CONSISTENCY #7


 
 

FNQVGA elevates (440m) to the drier end of the Atherton Tableland next Tuesday when we are the guests of the Mareeba Golf Club. Typically known for its pacey smallish greens, well groomed fairways and abundance of fauna, the Mareeba club has had a long association with Far North Queensland veteran golf. The FNQVGA foundation president in 1983 was Mareeba newsagent and sporting goods proprietor Fred Frazer. Fred, an ex-Sydney policeman,  was a difficult man to get along with and his tenure only lasted 18 months!

Get a coffee on your way from one  the many excellent coffee outlets in and around Mareeba. The Cafe Crema van at the Information Centre comes highly recommended- Annalisa will look after you!

18 Hole Single Stableford Consistency #7

Tee off from 8am

Nominations open at 7.30am ( Capt. desk closes 8.30am)
