Mossman Golf Club had perfect weather for a field of around 130 players competing in the FNQ Mens and FNQ Ladies Championships held on 5th & 6th July. 

Many thanks go to the President Geoff Goodwin and his Committee to ensure the Club and course were in great condition, for an event organized by Danny Bradley & FNQ Mens Committee and Christelle Prnsloo and FNQ Ladies Committee. Thanks to the numerous volunteers assisting with event preparations, starting the field, course marshall duties, card checking, scoreboard and handicapping duties.

A significant number of Mossman volunteers assisted Matty Coulthard with the course preparation,with special mention to Steve Gray.

Damien Pitcher was instrumental in ensuring no player was left dehydrated on the course.
