We had two new members today Danny Bradley from Mareeba and Russell "Pup" Hilder from Atherton. Welcome to you both.

Thank you to the Mareeba Club, including Owen, Debbie  and Cathy for the service in the Clubhouse , and Karl and Jim for the presentation of the course- the greens were a pleasure to put on.

Results Monday 6 November 2023 Half Moon Bay

 

Plenty of winners and a Hole-in-One at Half Moon Bay on the eve of the Melbourne Cup. 53 players (43 men and 10 ladies) players for trophies sponsored by Roger Glover. We had one new member Mal Meadows from HMB. Welcome. We needed a count back to separate Ken Berrigan and Steve Day both with 41 points in Div 1 and Keith Schirmer aced the 132m 16 Hole to make his day. And Ali Gibson just scraped in with 42 pts to win the ladies!!!

Thank you also to Daniel in the Pro Shop and the green staff who had the course in excellent conditions , especially the greens that were a pleasure to putt on.

It takes a committee of about 10 members to make the FNQVGA work each week and each year, and so far we only have 3 nomination for next year. So if you can see your way clear to put your hand up, ask for a nomination next week at Gordonvale.

Results Cairns Tuesday 31 October 2023

 77 players (59 men and 18 ladies) enjoyed the warm but still pleasant conditions at the Cairns Golf Club this morning in playing  a 18 Hole Stableford competition sponsored by generous member Rich Michalski.  You may not know that Rich and his regular playing partner Keith Hillier were involved in a bingle at Gordonvale several weeks ago, when the buggy they were driving came into collision with a palm tree stump on the 13th fairway. Both players were propelled out of the buggy and came to rest  on the fairway. It was thought  that the only casualty at the time was Rich's putter, which was snapped in half during his ejection from the buggy.  Keith however , did receive some extensive bruising to his chest region and is having a few months off. Get well soon Keith! Under Rule 4.1a(1)/2 Rich was entitled to make strokes with the damaged club for the rest of the round without penalty.

A big thank you to the Cairns Club today for making us feel most welcome and we understand the challenge of scheduling course maintenance and keeping the course playable and open.
