CAPTAIN’s CORNER
A good week of Golf with 38 of our players turning up on Monday, followed up with nearly 60 players on Wednesday at Cooroy, while 22 played in the Host Day at Tewantin/Noosa.
We were a bit short on Committee members at Cooroy, so it was great to see Jim Henderson come in early and help out with the player registrations before heading off to Tewantin for his game. Also thanks to John Butler and his group for sorting out the cards while I was still out on the course, and to our retired Vice-Captain Steve Howes for his help during the presentations and entering the results into GolfLink.
Unfortunately I had to disqualify one of our players for a breach of rule 6-2b. The player would have won the A-Grade Competition if he had not breached the rule. It only takes a few minutes to check your card properly after your round.

Les Terrans had a ‘Jimmy Henderson’ senior moment on Monday when he turned up at Tewantin Noosa for their Host Day only to be told that it was on Wednesday. Les trumped Jimmy however as he wasn’t actually nominated to play at Tewantin Noosa but fortunately had arrived there early enough to make it back to Cooroy for a game and play well enough to win a ball in the run down. If you are not familiar with the story, earlier this year Jimmy Henderson was scheduled to play in the District Team Challenge at Pelican Waters but got his ‘Ps’ mixed up and turned up at Peregian Springs but after realizing his mistake couldn’t make it to the right venue on time. Jimmy’s excuse was that (1) he is Irish and (2) he wanted the first reserve to get a game.
Mike Smith hit some booming drives on Monday although a little wayward at times – so much so that on one occasion we had to send a taxi to get him as the walk back to our fairway would have taken too long.
Congratulations to Kevin Tonkin for an Eagle on the 14th.
