A very hot and humid morning at Gordonvale, could not deter 52 intrepid FNQVGA golfers (44 men and 8 ladies) from taking on the very difficult challenge on the well prepared Gordonvale Golf Club this morning. Just before tee off the relative humidity had reached 100% and the anemometer read calm. You know you really are in trouble when the breeze finally does come up and it is from the NE. But soldiered on we did- well done everyone.
And how good does the Gordonvale Club look- new tee block info boards , new rubbish bins and a new water cooler.! Manager Mel and her assistant in bright new shirts! Congratulations to all involved.
We had four new members join today. Chris Tometzki relocating from Pacific Golf Club, Ian Nicholas from Gordonvale and Ray Greig and Sean Gayler both from Cairns. Welcome aboard were sure you will enjoy the ride.
While on the subject of exceptional, local candidate for State of Origin GOAT Greg Dowling, in on fast track to become the GVOAT (Greatest Veteran Golfer of All Time). Not has he won all but one of the Summer of Golf series on the Tablelands , the other one he was an absentee, he has won both opening rounds of FNQVGA 2026 with another 40 stableford points today. He won with 42 points the last time we were in Gordonvale last year. His handicap surely is heading towards single figures.
