Results Cairns Tuesday 31 October 2023

 77 players (59 men and 18 ladies) enjoyed the warm but still pleasant conditions at the Cairns Golf Club this morning in playing  a 18 Hole Stableford competition sponsored by generous member Rich Michalski.  You may not know that Rich and his regular playing partner Keith Hillier were involved in a bingle at Gordonvale several weeks ago, when the buggy they were driving came into collision with a palm tree stump on the 13th fairway. Both players were propelled out of the buggy and came to rest  on the fairway. It was thought  that the only casualty at the time was Rich's putter, which was snapped in half during his ejection from the buggy.  Keith however , did receive some extensive bruising to his chest region and is having a few months off. Get well soon Keith! Under Rule 4.1a(1)/2 Rich was entitled to make strokes with the damaged club for the rest of the round without penalty.

A big thank you to the Cairns Club today for making us feel most welcome and we understand the challenge of scheduling course maintenance and keeping the course playable and open.

 A great field of 61 players (50 men and 11 ladies) made the excursion into the Douglas Shire this morning to play a single stableford sponsored by Davidson Coaching. It was nice to have Mark Davidson on board today to assist with the presentation, thank you very much Mark. 

The weather was beautiful and the course full of running, all adding up to good scores from the not so long hitters.  Thanks to Ralph and Pris in the pro shop, Kim behind the bar and to all the green staff for the way the course was presented.

It was nice to see a sizeable crowd of players who stayed for the presentation adding some atmosphere to the end of play.

 An improving  field of 41 players (35 men and 6 ladies) played  an individual stableford in near perfect conditions on the tablelands on Tuesday. Beautifully mild weather and a perfectly presented course made for a very enjoyable mornings golf. 

Our President Elect, Peter Clarke thanked  the Atherton golf club for the warm welcome especially Cheryl, Irish, and Rhys in the clubhouse and Brendan and his team on the course. It was interesting to see the redevelopment of the 13th green which will be completed by the start of next year.

Once again the support of our very generous sponsor Cazalys, remember to gamble responsibly!

That typical Millaa Morn that clears into a beautiful day

.

 Once the fozzle* cleared the 29 players who traveled to Millaa Millaa this morning enjoyed a beautifully mild day to play the last round of the Patrons Trophy. The 18 Hole stableford competition was sponsored by Hotel Reef Casino and we thank them for their generous support.

The hospitality was once again exemplary thanks to retiring Millaa president of the last 14 years Don, Margaret and the laconic Hughie behind the bar.

All players were in good voice today as they sang "Happy Birthday" to Peter Johnston  who celebrated his 74 birthday today. And they said you would never make it!

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TUESDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2023 MAREEBA

 

The FNQVGA does -that's who.

 

Next months AGM is not that far away and its time to start thinking about how we can keep the Association prospering in 2024. The FNQVGA doesn't run itself, and you might be the person we are looking for.

We have had a good year in 2023; and,  we owe a lot of thanks to our Captain Peter Wyatt who has not only been a very diligent captain but has been our acting President and has done both jobs admirably. We have had indications from members that they will take on roles next year, but,it would helpful if someone would see their way clear to take over the Captain's job (only).

If this is you,  please see any  committee members over the next couple of weeks and we can help you with question you might have about the position. The remuneration is poor but the satisfaction is high.
