MESSAGE FROM VETS PRESIDENT
Dear Cooroy Veterans' Golf Club members.
|
On behalf of the management committee of the CVGC, I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous 2026.
|
A big thank you to the outgoing committee for all their hard work during 2025, and an even bigger thank you to Grant and Jimmy for sticking around to help us ease into our respective roles. I look forward to working with all committee members to further the aims of the CVGC.
|
I also thank all the volunteers who help to keep our golf club one of the most popular in the region.
|
The Cooroy Golf Club has some issues to deal with in 2026, a lot due to the severe weather we have experienced. The CVGC remains committed to doing our best for the golf club.
|
Our first competition day in 2026 is the 7th of January (Monthly Medal).
|
Enjoy your break, and we will see you in the new year.
|
Michael Lunney, President
