HALF MOON BAY RESULTS TUESDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER

 

It is often said that we live in the Wet Tropics and without a shadow of a doubt 2024 has truly lived up to that title. Today at Half Moon Bay GC in the middle of September, the rain just kept coming!

FNQ Vet members are to be commended for their perseverance as in conditions that are synonymous with ducks,  57 players consisting of 49 men and 8 ladies took to the course.  Apart from the bunkers being out of play the course was in really good condition, which is a credit to the Club and the greens staff. We would like to thank Brady and Mike for getting us out on the course and ready to play despite a few hiccups due to tech issues.

Today we welcomed three visitors - Ernie Lesley and John & Clare Sorensen from Levin on New Zealand's North Island. Also George Van Merch  from South Africa and David Hayne from Southern Golf Club in Victoria. It just goes to show that our visiting international golfers won't be put off by a bit of inclement weather.  We also had one new member Paul Duffell from Half Moon Bay GC.

Today we played a Single Stableford which was the last round of the Consistency Series.  We would like to thank our fantastic sponsors Brothers Leagues Club for their valued support once again. We encourage our members to visit Brothers at every opportunity for a great dining and entertainment experience.
