Good day fellow Ozgolfers,
Courty and I would like to welcome you to the 2017 Ozgolf Queensland championships in sunny Cairns.
The prestigious Duncan Bennett Memorial Trophy will again be up for grabs as golfers across the country compete to be Qld's top Ozgolfer. Will you be able to defeat last years Champion, Backintheswing, and get your name on the converted trophy?
Kicking off Friday 8th September, and finishing on Monday 11th September. Beat the southern cold weather, and come and join us in the sunny Cairns.
Sunny Cairns you say? Well:Average September High: 28.7degCAverage September Low: 18.7degCMean Monthly Sunshine hours: 261hrs
