PRESIDENT REPORT – MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB 30 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at MILLAA MILLAA Golf Club, there were 39 starters consisting of 37 men & 2 ladies. There was one new member, Keith Dixon, Millaa Millaa welcome back to the FNQVGA Keith a 2017 member. The course was in great condition and the weather was extremely ordinary, the Millaa mizzle was there from the getgo and only eased up at the conclusion of our game yet the locals claimed it to be a fine day....... We had one visitor, Col Baldwin from Bundaberg.

Many thanks to Don and his team of hard workers for preparing the course as well as their hospitality inside the clubhouse.

Our sponsor today was once again DRUMMOND GOLF who always look after the Vets which is much appreciated by all, thanks Darren. Members please drop in to get a great deal from DRUMMONDs Cairns.

Next weeks game will be the first round of the FNQVGA 2019 Championships at Cairns Golf Club which is currently in great condition, hope to see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT – HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB 23 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, there were 93 starters consisting of 74 men & 19 ladies. There was one new member, Dave Madden, Yallourn welcome to the FNQVGA Dave. The course was in great condition and the weather remained fine for the duration of our game. We had four visitors; Ron & Adie Crispin from NZ, Greg Bell & Carl Fox, HMBGC, Max Kennaway Ringwood & John King from Brookwater.

Once again many thanks to Greg Ferry and his team at HMBGC for looking after us and donating a slab to our members who remained for the presentations, Des Jones the lucky recipient certainly appreciated it.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF who provide great support to the Vets and hopefully our members repay that support by visiting DRUMMONDS when purchasing any golf equipment.

There were two talking points on course today, the first was the sighting of a croc behind the 8^th green, many photos snapped and the second was a magnificent hole-in-one on the 4^th hole by an extremely happy Bill Matthews. Well done Bill we will get your ball mounted as a memento of this day as well as providing two balls for the effort.

Next weeks game on 30 July will be at MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB sponsored by DRUMMOND GOLF at the normal time, registration 0700-0800 hope to see you all there. A reminder for the following 2 weeks, 6^th & 13 Aug will be our annual championships at Cairns GC

PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 16 Jul 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at ATHERTON Golf Club, there were 73 starters consisting of 61 men & 12 ladies. There were two new members, Brian Bevan, Babinda and Chris Young, Mareeba, welcome to the FNQVGA. The course was in very good condition and is a credit to the greens staff, job well done. Even though it was freezing early in the peace the sun came out and warmed things up a little but the damage was done and the scores below reflected the cold weather. Many thanks Cheryl for your assistance to all of the Vets players.

Our sponsor today was STRATFORD PAINTING CONTRACTORS (Gordon Perry), those requiring any sort of paint job around the house please call Gordon for a quote, you won`t be dissappointed.

A friendly reminder to all golfers please ensure you sign your cards prior to handing them in as there were some disqualified today for forgetting to do same.

There was a pair of sunglasses handed in today and I will bring them with me until claimed.

Next weeks game on 23 July will be at HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB.

Happy birthday for tomorrow Liz.

Babinda cancelled

Today`s game at Babinda has been cancelled due to the weather, rained most of the night. My thoughts go out to Wal and his team for all their work over the weekend getting the course ready only to be washed out.

Next game at Atherton hope to see you all there.

Regards

Robin

Babinda all go for tomorrow

Just had a call from our beloved Captain Wal who is also the master of everything at Babinda and he has advised that Babinda is all go for tomorrow and they have had a fairly dry weekend.

There will be preferred lies due to last weeks rain.

See you all there.

Regards

Robin

Next Game Babinda 9 July

All,

Our next game is a single stableford at Babinda & is the first round for the Patron's Trophy, which is played over our two 9 hole courses.

The course will be in its usual good condition, thanks to the hard work of Wal, Tom & other volunteers.  After the continuing damp conditions the drains will await for those who do not know the correct distances or who make an errant shot, so make sure you pick up a distance marker sheet before you head out!

The day is sponsored again by Wal Anthony who will have his hand made tables as prizes, see below:

See you there.

President Report & Results for HMBGC 02 Jul 19

PRESIDENT REPORT – HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB 02 Jul19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, there were 94 starters consisting of 68 men & 26 ladies. There were two new members, Henry Bright Yallourn and Debra Greenway Cairns, welcome to the FNQVGA. The course was in very good condition and the weather was even better after a very drizzly start early on, however, the sun came out and a great day was had by all.

Many thanks to the staff at HMBGC for their assistance to the Vets and in particular to the Manager Greg Ferry for once again donating a slab of amber fluid to be raffled off for those members remaining for presentations, a very rowdy group were the lucky winners.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF who have continuously supported the FNQVGA all year and our members do likewise to DRUMMONDS as I am often told “we get a great deal from DRUMMONDS”. The winners & runners up for today`s comp please be aware that the DRUMMOND vouchers have a use by date of one month from today.

The FNQVGA Committee have purchased a Public Address system for presentations due to the fact that some clubs do not have a microphone and it was trialled today with a few gremlins but overall we are ready to go. We also purchased sufficient NTP markers to be used at all venues that we play, they are marked as FNQVGA property and will be the only NTPs used by us in the future, compact black ones. This way we are not relient on the clubs for the provision of their equipment.

There was a rain jacket handed in today and I will bring it with me until claimed.

Next weeks game will be at BABINDA GOLF CLUB, Wal and his crew will be ready for us so I hope to see you all there.

Robin Pres.
