Next Game Atherton 16 July

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Atherton.

In view of recent rain events I'm making no predictions about what will happen between now & then!

The game is sponsored by Stratford Painting Contractors.  If you're thinking of any painting work, give them a call on 0408 062 483 or check out their website at stratfordpainting@bigpond.com.

See you at Atherton.

Babinda cancelled

Today`s game at Babinda has been cancelled due to the weather, rained most of the night. My thoughts go out to Wal and his team for all their work over the weekend getting the course ready only to be washed out.

Next game at Atherton hope to see you all there.

Regards

Robin

Babinda all go for tomorrow

Just had a call from our beloved Captain Wal who is also the master of everything at Babinda and he has advised that Babinda is all go for tomorrow and they have had a fairly dry weekend.

There will be preferred lies due to last weeks rain.

See you all there.

Regards

Robin

Next Game Babinda 9 July

All,

Our next game is a single stableford at Babinda & is the first round for the Patron's Trophy, which is played over our two 9 hole courses.

The course will be in its usual good condition, thanks to the hard work of Wal, Tom & other volunteers.  After the continuing damp conditions the drains will await for those who do not know the correct distances or who make an errant shot, so make sure you pick up a distance marker sheet before you head out!

The day is sponsored again by Wal Anthony who will have his hand made tables as prizes, see below:

See you there.

President Report & Results for HMBGC 02 Jul 19

PRESIDENT REPORT – HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB 02 Jul19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, there were 94 starters consisting of 68 men & 26 ladies. There were two new members, Henry Bright Yallourn and Debra Greenway Cairns, welcome to the FNQVGA. The course was in very good condition and the weather was even better after a very drizzly start early on, however, the sun came out and a great day was had by all.

Many thanks to the staff at HMBGC for their assistance to the Vets and in particular to the Manager Greg Ferry for once again donating a slab of amber fluid to be raffled off for those members remaining for presentations, a very rowdy group were the lucky winners.

Our sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF who have continuously supported the FNQVGA all year and our members do likewise to DRUMMONDS as I am often told “we get a great deal from DRUMMONDS”. The winners & runners up for today`s comp please be aware that the DRUMMOND vouchers have a use by date of one month from today.

The FNQVGA Committee have purchased a Public Address system for presentations due to the fact that some clubs do not have a microphone and it was trialled today with a few gremlins but overall we are ready to go. We also purchased sufficient NTP markers to be used at all venues that we play, they are marked as FNQVGA property and will be the only NTPs used by us in the future, compact black ones. This way we are not relient on the clubs for the provision of their equipment.

There was a rain jacket handed in today and I will bring it with me until claimed.

Next weeks game will be at BABINDA GOLF CLUB, Wal and his crew will be ready for us so I hope to see you all there.

Robin Pres.

President Report & Results for Atherton Golf Club 25 June 19

PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 25 Jun 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a 2Ball Ambrose event at ATHERTON Golf Club which provided some very interesting scores highlighted in results below. There were 75 starters consisting of 64 men & 11 ladies. The course was in very good condition, a credit to the greens staff. Many thanks to Cheryl for getting us going in the extremely “brisk” weather this morning. Tony the cook also looked after us with his simple but very effective menu.

Our sponsor today was CAPE YORK ACCOUNTING and now is the perfect time for our members to utilise their skills to assist us in getting a return at tax time, they come highly recommended.

Special mention in today`s game was a hole in one by George Kyriazis on the 11^th hole. Congratulations George, bring us your ball and we will get it mounted appropriately ASAP.

Next weeks game will be at HALF MOON BAY GOLF CLUB, hope to see you all there

Robin Pres.
