Mareeba Tuesday 28 MARCH 2023

 Two new members , Bev Hayhurst (Half Moon Bay) and Glen Averkoff(Gordonvale) joined us today to play the opening round of our Consistency Trophy in Mareeba. There were 55 players today, 45 Men and 10 Ladies playing the single stableford event. Hopefully these numbers will improve over the next couple of weeks as the weather improves and the courses dry out.

FNQVGA would like to thank the Mareeba Club for the warm welcome we received, especially from Owen, Debbie and Robyn in the newly presented clubhouse.

The course is in great shape. Congratulation to Green keeper Michael C. and your helpers- Rod, Michael B. Lord Jim, Lui and Brian. We hope you have a successful Steggles Mareeba Open this weekend.

Athereton Tuesday 14 March 2023

 An intimate field of 38 keen golfers (32 men and 6 ladies) traveled to the beautiful Atherton Golf Club  this morning to play a Single Stableford sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club. Apart from a few boggy patches which were heavy under foot,  the course was presented in excellent condition. The greens were receptive and very puttable. Congratulation to the greens team of Karl, Stevie and your team on the way you present your course, you obviously take great pride in your work. 

A special thanks to Irish Hazlett who kept us informed with up to the minute weather reports, to Cheryl and Rachael (who informs me she is a Galway girl) for their friendly service behind the bar, especially the Corned Beef sandwiches!

We had a new member join us today , Neal Arnott from Cairns , welcome Neal.
