Results Babinda 30 May 2023

 

A small but well rewarded field traveled to that gem of a club Babinda today for the first round of the Patrons trophy. The quirky greens were ably supplemented by excellent fairways and the usual challenging hazards across most fairways. 

Once again the reception from the locals was unsurpassed. A big thank you to Gabrielle, Patsy and Desley in the club house and the volunteers  for the way the course was presented. 

We had 37 players (29 men and 8 ladies) and one new member Layne Gibson from Half moon Bay. Welcome!

Results Half Moon Bay Tuesday 23 May 2025

 The last time the FNQVGA played Half Moon Bay was the Monday before the Melbourne Cup 2022 when we had 60 players and it was stinking hot! Today the weather was perfect, the course was perfect, and we had 63 players (54 men and 9 ladies) including Kevin Reynolds and John Masters from Beerwah and an International visitor from Kitimat  British Columbia , Canada, Martin McInwrath. And a very warm welcome back to Shirley Carney from Mossman who has joined us again.

Once again we were pampered by Daniel and Jasmine in the Pro shop and bar and to the couple in the food van who make the best chicken burgers and sandwiches.

Our sponsor today and our major sponsor for the year was Drummond Golf Australia's Biggest, thanks to Darren and his team.
