CAPTAIN'S REPORT 

 2015 CHAMPIONSHIPS – 1st ROUND LEADERS – PROVISIONAL RESULTS

 Firstly, I have to agree with President Roger that is was a slightly disappointing turnout for the first round of the FNQVGA Championships.

What I also found was disappointing was the fact that over 90 of our members were ineligible to compete in the Championships because they failed to meet the criteria for entry, i.e. being a member for two months and playing more than three games.

 As a result a decision was made to include this group in the Daily competition although still being ineligible for the Championship itself. Players in this group will also be able to compete in the Daily event next Tuesday.

Next Game 1st Round Championships Cairns 25 Aug

All,

Our game next week is a stroke event played off the blue tees, being the first round of our Championships at Cairns golf club.

The event is sponsored by Deborah Duffy Real Estate.

Registration is 7-8am as usual & the conditions of play are below.

A raffle will be run over the two rounds of the championship with main prizes of a golf bag, wet weather gear and golf shoes.  Tickets will be available at registration.

A platter of sandwiches will be served to each group on completion of their rounds and NTPs will get a sleeve of balls.  The daily prizes will be as usual $30 for winners & $15 for runners up in each grade, but overall prizes will be $100 for winners & $50 for runners up in each grade, both gross & nett.

FNQVGA CHAMPIONSHIP POLICY

1. To be eligible to compete in the FNQVGA Championships, a player must have been a member of the Association for a period of two months prior to the date of the first day of the Championships and prior to the first day of the Championships a player must have played three or more games scheduled in that year's Program.

2.  Both the Men's and Ladies' Championships will be a stroke event held over 36  holes.

3. The Men's Championships will be contested in three Divisions, the range of each to be determined by using player's exact Golflink Handicaps.  The Divisions will be determined after the first day's play.  The Ladies' Championship will be contested in one Division.

4. The Divisions and the Golflink Handicaps will be frozen for the duration of the Championships.

5. A player will remain in the Division determined by his Golf Link Handicap for both the Gross and Net events irrespective of any changes in his Daily Handicap caused by the Slope Ratings of different courses.

6. A player's Golf Link handicap used on the first day will be retained for the second day. A list of those handicaps will be available on the second day for information of all players.

7. The Net Results will be calculated by using the player's Daily Handicap at each course played.

8. In the event of tied scores in the Daily events, in the Gross stroke event, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes, and finally hole-by-hole from the 18th hole.

9. In the Daily Net handicap stroke play competition, one-half, one-third, one-sixth, etc. of the player's handicap should be applied to the player's score to determine the winner on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes, last six and last three, then hole-by-hole from the 18th hole. Fractions should not be disregarded.

10. In event of tied scores in the Overall events, the same principle will be used.  The first count-back will be the last 18 holes played.  If the players are still equal the procedure outlined in Section 8 will followed .  If the players are still equal, the count-back is then applied to the first 18 holes played, starting with matching the back 9.

11. Ineligible players, whilst being able to play in the competition on each Championship day, will not be entitled to win any of the Daily or Overall Trophies associated with the Championships. The Committee may, if it deems appropriate, create a separate competition on each Championship day to cater for the ineligible players.

12. A player will only be entitled to win one Daily trophy whether it be in the Gross or Net event.  A player will be entitled to win an Overall Trophy as well as a Daily trophy on the last day of the Championships.

13.  It is requested that as well as the stroke score, the player's Stableford score should also be entered on the card to enable handicapping through Golf Link.

President's Report & Results Millaa Millaa 18 Aug

68 players (56 men & 12 women) arrived at Millaa Millaa to a beautiful morning and were pleased to accept the good old country hospitality that has become a feature of this popular club, the aroma of fresh toast very welcome to the noses of the travellers from the coast.

The sponsor of the day was CAZALYS AFL CLUB and we thank them for their generous support.

The event was a single stableford and is the first round of the Patrons trophy, the second and final round will be held at Babinda on 6^th October. There are only two rounds of this event because two games have previously been rained out.

Members please note that the Babinda open will be held this weekend and I believe there are still some vacancies in the field, contact Wal Anthony whose phone number appears on the right side of this page under committee.

Next weeks event is at Cairns G C and is the first round of our club champoinship and will, of course be a stroke round.
