Thanks to Lionel Willett and Ed Otto for sponsoring the event and to Lionel for starting the discussion that initiated “The Challenge”.  

Cooroy Vets was founded in the mid 1980’s with around 17 members and joined the Sunshine Coast District Veteran Golfers Association around the same time.  Lionel and Ed were foundation members. 

We recently awarded Lionel “Gold Membership” for active playing participation with Cooroy Vets of over 32 years.
