Wednesday - 16th July 2025
Next week is the 1st Round of 'The Old Course Challenge'.
|
Played over two weeks, this separate competition, in addition to the normal 18-hole Stableford, recognises our founding members, the late Ed Otto and Lionel Willett, who established the Cooroy Vets in 1985.
|
We have been running this competition since 2017, with Gary Menyweather holding the Trophy from last year. For those who may not know, the 'Old Course' is the original 9-hole layout and includes holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, 17, 18.
|
|
Our most successful player in this event is Jim Henderson, who won in 2020 and 2022. Jim has decided to give the event a miss this year to give others a chance. Handicaps are frozen over the 2 weeks for this competition, but will not be the case for the main 18-hole competition.
