GRAHAM ROBERTS TROPHY - ‘A’ Grade
MIKE MULLINS TROPHY – ‘A1’ GRADE
WAYNE HALLER TROPHY - ‘B’ Grade
JOHN MACLEAN TROPHY - ‘C’ Grade
The above three trophy events are conducted during each golfing season, and are open to members of the affiliated member clubs of the NQGA, with the best performed golfer for the calendar year being awarded the trophy for that particular grade. The winner of each of the four trophy events will receive an embroidered shirt signifying his achievement.
To qualify for these events, golfers must play in the published open events, (notated GR – MM - WH - or JM) as listed in the NQGA Schedule of Major Events.
In order to determine the winners of each of the above trophy events, a bonus points system has been instituted.

In the Inter-Association Teams Event, the top four (4) ‘A’ grade placegetters in the Graham Roberts Trophy, who meet the selection criteria as outlined elsewhere in this Match Schedule, will be selected to represent the NQGA.
In the annual clash North v South, the top six (6) placegetters in the four trophy points grades from each Division, (North from Home Hill north and South from Bowen south), who meet the selection criteria as outlined elsewhere in this Match Schedule, will be selected to represent their respective Division’s for the annual event.
