🏆 2026 LJ Ho**er Cairns Beaches Half Moon Bay Golf Club Championships 🏆
What an incredible four days of golf at the 2026 Half Moon Bay Golf Club Championships!
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who nominated and took part in this year's event. The standard of golf, sportsmanship and club spirit on display throughout the championships was outstanding. We'd also like to extend our sincere thanks to LJ Ho**er Cairns Beaches, our major event sponsor, for their support of this year's championships and for Nick Pelucchi at LJ Ho**er Cairns Beaches for presenting our winners with their well earned awards.
Congratulations to all players who claimed a daily prize or featured amongst the overall winners and placegetters.
👑 Overall Gross Club Champions
Ladies Champion - Marion Wright (339)
Marion produced a dominant performance across the four championship rounds, posting four sub-90 rounds to finish with an outstanding gross total of 339, a remarkable 16 shots clear of runner-up Cecily Atkinson (355).
Men's Champion - Wazza O'Brien (295)
Wazza delivered one of the most memorable finishes in recent club championship history. Beginning the final round 7 shots behind, he fought his way back to force a playoff with Club Captain Ben Doggett, with both players finishing on 295 gross. On the very first playoff hole, Wazza hit a sensational drive to approximately 6 feet from the hole before calmly holing an eagle putt to claim the 2026 Club Championship title.
