RESULTS CAIRNS GOLF CLUB TUESDAY 15 SEPTEMBER 2026

 

 

 

FNQVGA President Peter Clarke welcomes Tropic Vets tour leader Bill Finch to the Cairns Golf Club. 

The Cairns Golf Club hosted  FNQVGA players and a visiting contingent of 23 Tropic Vets from the Tropics Golf Club, Townsville this morning. Once the initial precipitation cleared 70 players (50 men and 20 ladies) enjoyed the early spring weather and golfers were universal in their praise of the presentation of the course. A big thank you to the Cairns Club for your hospitality.

We had one new member join today John Burns from Cairns Golf Club, which brings our membership up to 190 for the year.

Next week we travel to Half Moon Bay Golf Club for the last Consistency Round. Tee off from 7am

RESULTS ATHERTON TUESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2026

 The fog burnt off this morning to reveal one of those magical Atherton Tableland spring days, clear blue skies, comfortable temperatures and just the slightest zephyrs from the N-N East. then,  the sound of Real Estate Salesmen driving in "For Sale" signs in front of  everything that looks half sellable, and , the unthinkable sight of Hallorans Hill on fire!  All good enough to attract 53 FNQVGA players and friends( 45 men and 8 ladies). We had five new members join today Peter Douglas , Alan Welsh , Greg Lee from Atherton, Fred Anderson from Millaa Millaa and  Jim Price from Mareeba as well as  a visitor Geoff Stockall from Smithfield Heights. Welcome.

We had two Eagles today Russell Hilder No 5 and Greg Lee No 7. Well done! 

Thanks to the Atherton Club for your hospitality especially Myra behind the bar and Mick the buggy wrangler!

MENS CONSISTENCY 2026

 With only two more rounds available to score with, the Consistency Trophy is rapidly drawing to an exciting result. Neal  Arnott (328) currently holds the lead by the slimmest of margins- just one stableford point from Tim Hollman(327). Dave Lawler is a further 4 points back, however, he currently has two scores of 27 points in his 10 counters so he could easily make up the deficit. Ron Blake and Pommy English are in the next line of betting but probably need a firm track and some luck in running to greet the judge in first place. 

There is a smokey in the field who currently only  has 9 counting rounds, who could come from the clouds over this lot.. Who could that be?

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
