CAPTAIN’s CORNER
It is nice to see a few more names have been added to our nomination form. However the number of A&B Grade players (0-18) to nominate for the game at Horton Park on Friday the 5th of September is still a bit on the light side. It is only $12 to play and it would be great to see a few more Cooroy Vets represent us.
Well done to Kevin Crundall on winning the Captains Choice on Wednesday and therefore winning 3 golf balls. Earlier in the day Kevin very generously donated 3 boxes or 36 golf balls to the Vets – I think we have done very well with the trade. Thank you Kevin.
Don’t forget our Members Guest Day on the 10th of September. The event that day will be a 4 Man Ambrose, and there will be a free sausage sizzle at the completion of play. Ideally you will bring along a person who may one day consider joining our club.
At the moment I am playing host to our sponsors from smallPRINT Australia Pty Ltd. We had a game at Cooroy on Thursday, and they commented on how much better our course is looking since their visit last year. A lot of this is due to the fine work that is being done by our volunteer working bee members.
WORKING BEE: Our next working bee will now be on Monday the 11th of August. It will be an ideal opportunity to tidy up the course before the District Championships. ALL WELCOME TO ATTEND.
VETS ON THE ROAD
We’ve found Andrew Dick (left-click to enlarge). He’s on a beach (actually it’s a mud flat) just north of Port Headland playing golf on a 9 Hole course – golf clubs and balls supplied.
Andrew says the holes are 300mm diameter plastic pipe – perhaps something we could consider!
It’s a tough life but someone has to do it.

WEDNESDAY PRESENTATION – CONSIDERATION
The presentation on Wednesday is the culmination of that days’ competition and usual takes less than 15 minutes to wrap up an enjoyable day. The formal presentation is an important feature of our competitions and the atmosphere we want to create and we will hold one whether there are 2, 20 or 200 present.
Unfortunately there has been a trend for the presentation to be interrupted/disrupted by some members carrying on independent conversations making it difficult for those who are interested to participate and hear the presentation proceedings. The time taken for the presentation is minor in context of the day so in future please show some courtesy and consideration to those members who are interested and for the time and effort put in by the committee and others to make our competitions enjoyable.
