CAPTAIN’s CORNER
We have been blessed with perfect weather again, resulting in another great week for golf.
Monday’s field of 101 players made for a very successful day. The field consisted of 45 Cooroy, 37 Gympie, and 19 Tin Can Bay players. A great effort by all, as every nominated player turned up to play.
Part of the success of these days is due to preparation by our Committee, and the efforts from our loyal helpers. With that in mind I would like to thank Kevin Crundall who is always one of the 1st at the Club on match day’s and is always ready to help out wherever he can. Another person who is always willing to pitch in, is Ron Blount. Great efforts and much appreciated.
Our recently new Committee member Bruce Cowan sacrificed his own game so he could assist on Monday. He did a great job in registering all of our visitors, and then took on the thankless job of Course Marshal. If anyone would like to have a crack at this job I would like to remind them that it is unpaid, and all that you can expect to receive from the whole experience is abuse. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST COME THROUGH THE CAPTAIN.
On Wednesday we ended up with 79 players, and the day produced a few highlights worth mentioning. The 1st being Les Terrans “HOLE in 1” on the 4th . Not quite as spectacular, but also worthy of a mention was Don Pigdon’s 3 for 5 points on the 3rd . And not to be outdone the “Little Master” himself Jim Penman shot a very impressive 39 off the bat on the back 9.
Next week we play a Canadian 2 Stroke where each player plays 2 strokes with their own ball before choosing the ball to play. Each player then plays alternate strokes until holed out. It should prove to be the perfect contest to try out the freshly cored greens.
My final words are about behaviour. If you have a problem with anything out on the course, come and see me and let me sort it out. What we don’t want to see, is any of our members causing a scene in the Clubhouse, especially in front of visitors.
LUNCH ON WEDNESDAY
You may be aware Wednesday was Robyn’s last day providing meals.
From next week sandwiches, wraps and pies will be available on Wednesday. There will be an Order Sheet available at the bar. The idea is that you ORDER BEFORE you head out to play then when you return from your round collect your order and pay.
We are currently considering catering options for host days and other events.
