President report & results for Millaa Millaa

PRESIDENT REPORT – MILLAA MILLAA GOLF CLUB 03 Sep19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford at the wonderful Millaa Millaa Golf Club, there were 55 starters consisting of 48 men & 7 ladies. There were two visitors, Graham Murray and Greg Taylor from Millaa Millaa.

Today saw some southerners finishing up with the FNQVGA for 2019 and returning home to NSW after enjoying our fantastic weather, Rex & Joy White and Tony Lattimore, safe journeys home and we will catch up with you guys next year.

Many thanks to all the staff at Millaa Millaa GC for having the course in good condition albeit the greens were DEADLY and 3 putts were the norm to the unsuspecting golfers. Most conversations in the clubhouse provided some very descriptive verbs ( I think they were verbs) regarding the greens.

Our sponsor today was CAZALY`s AFL, a great sponsor to the Vets and even better club to visit for those special occasions, appreciated by all members.

No ball run today as all players who remained for the presentations received a ball for supporting the club and there was only one division in mens today due to the low attendance.

Next weeks game will be at CAIRNS Golf Club, hope to see you all there.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 27 Aug

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Half Moon Bay.

There are no surprises awaiting on the course, but players may find more divots than normal because of considerably more traffic than normal, perhaps caused by the closure of Paradise Palms.  If you could take care of repairing your own divot plus one or two more nearby it would be greatly appreciated.

As usual the caterers will be on hand, but if you are likely to feel the need for sustenance after the game, please pre-order before you go out.

Sponsor for the day is Cape York Accounting.

See you there.

President`s Report & today`s results at Atherton GC

PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 20 Aug 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford at Atherton Golf Club, there were 81 starters consisting of 67 men & 14 ladies. There were two visitors, Adie & Ron Crispin from NZ who are here for another month or so, welcome back to the far north. The course was in excellent condition although the greens were extremely fast and almost unputtable if you got on the wrong side of the hole and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Many thanks to all the staff at Atherton GC for the presentation of the course but special mention goes to Cheryl for looking after us from go to whoa.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO who provide meal vouchers (very tasty) at the Flinders Bar & Grill inside the Casino, much appreciated by all FNQVGA members.

One of our members got hit in the thigh by an errant tee shot but I have been reliably informed she (Sheriff) is recovering quickly, good to hear Liz.

The committee agreed today to negotiate with Mirage for another game in 2020 hopefully to be held on the last Friday of May at the same price as this year of $35 with cart. When arrangements are finalised this game will be included in our 2020 Program, watch this space.

Next weeks game will be at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, hope to see you all there.

All,

Our next game is back to a nice simple single stableford, after the two stroke rounds of the Champs.

I'm advised the course is in great condition no doubt with their usual fast greens.

See you there.

President`s Report & Results for today`s game at Cairns GC

PRESIDENT REPORT – CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 13 Aug 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a stroke event and the 2^nd and final round of the 2019 Championships, there were 96 starters consisting of 78 men & 18 ladies. There was one new member, Graham Johanson from Gordonvale Golf Club welcome aboard Graham. Once again the course was in excellent condition and the weather was as good as we could expect considering it has been snowing down south.

Many thanks to all the staff at Cairns GC for, the condition of the course, behind the bar and providing the sandwiches after the game, much appreciated by all members. There was a left handed club handed in after the game, I have passed it in to the Pro shop if someone has lost it.

Our sponsor today was GOLF WORLD who was also our sponsor for the two day championships at CGC. Many thanks to GOLF WORLD for their sponsorship over the championships for without them the fees would most certainly be much higher than they are. The same reminder as per last week for those receiving winners/runners up vouchers, these vouchers have already passed their use by date however, the vouchers will be honoured upon presentation to Golf World.

When all trophy recipients have been worked out they will be presented at our Xmas break up function on 03 Dec at Cairns GC.

Finally I would like to thank the FNQVGA Committee members for ensuring that all elements of the championships went like clockwork over the two games without incident. Well done team.

Next weeks game will be at ATHERTON Golf Club, hope to see you all there.
