RESULTS HALF MOON BAY TUESDAY 23 JULY 2024

 A satisfying field of 65 FNQVGA golfers (55 men and 10 ladies) enjoyed great conditions at Yorkey's this morning to play a single stableford sponsored by Chiropractics Works Cairns. 

Club President Peter  thanked everyone for playing as well as Brady and Felicity  for helping the field get away and making sure they were adequately fed and watered on return. 

Three Victorian visitors today, Bev Smith  and Jan Smith from Hepburn, as well as  Cheryl Warrior from Curlewis Golf Club  at the bottom of Port Phillip - no wonders they are up here enjoying the great weather.

Peter Walters conquers the 11th.

The odds of an amateur making a hole-in-one is roughly  12,500 to 1. The odds of a low-handicapper making a hole-in-one is 5,000 to 1. The odds of a professional golfer making an ace is  2,500 to 1. The odds for the  average golfer on a 180m par-3 is  150,000 to 1. So how did  Gordonvale Golf Club volunteer Peter Walters feel when he aced the 11th at HMB this morning - bloody marvelous! Peters first Hole-in-one after 148,768 attempts. Congratulations Peter.
