A REMINDER

A reminder that next Wednesday, our Xmas lunch and final day for 2013 is a 7:30am shot gun start – a quick game of fun golf and then back to the club house for Xmas lunch, presentations and more fun.

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Congratulations to John Tomlins (left) for winning the 2013 Medal of Medals with a nett 60, John who plays off 28 had an exceptional day.

Our monthly medal was very well supported with 85 players taking part. Some very good scores come in with Alan Blundell 63 taking out the A-Grade. The B-Grade saw 3 players come in with a nett 64 with yours truly winning on a count back from Lionel Willett and Ian McMullen. The C-Grade of course went to John Tomlins.

Bob Noble backed up last week’s ace, by scoring an eagle this week. I am not certain what hole it was on, but no doubt Bob will be more than happy to tell me all about it when he collects his 6 golf balls next week.

Our 4 Man Ambrose event next week has attracted a field of 100 players, so you should do all that is possible to avoid slow play. It is not necessary to spend too much time looking for lost balls when playing in this type of event.

Next week will see our last official game for 2013, with the 1^st game in 2014 being on the 15^th of January. If you would like a game during the break, Wayne usually runs a ball competition from the bar.

I wish all members a Merry Xmas and am looking forward to a successful 2014.

Best value for money golf course on the Sunshine Coast. A really fun course layout, forces you to use multiple clubs off tees And have good course management. The grains are in great condition and are really receptive
Liam Henderson
Fantastic golf course! Really well setup with signage, sand buckets, and ball cleaners on most tees. This course is designed for playing 1-18 consecutively rather than stopping midway. A ‘grip it and rip it’ mindset will lead to disappointment as there are many hidden hazards (yes I speak from experience!). Some of the fairways are deceptively narrow or have huge swathes of flanking rough hard to see from a distance. Lots of variety! Long par 5s to short par 3s and everything in between. Take care when walking between tees as its easy for first timers to get disoriented. At just $40 I felt it was great value and would definitely go back.
Daniel Bowater
Great course. Well maintained with very friendly staff!
carl gall

Geoff Cohen

This is a friendly country course in great condition. Greens are in good nick. Well worth a visit if you ate on the area.
Karen Lilliebridge
Beautiful fairways and greens, quite a walk but worth every step. We played in the afternoon and was very pleased with the price and quality of the course.
Hendrik van Aswegen
Lovely course. Challenging enough to make it fun, but not too difficult for high handicappers
Jonty
Great place to play golf. Course is a good challenge for all HC’s. Very picturesque,but if you walk it the last couple of holes uphill might get you. Very limited parking. Worth a look.
