Vets – NEWSLETTER week ending 18th October 2014

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Slow play was a huge topic for most players after Wednesday’s game, if you are the guilty party holding up play, do something about it so others can enjoy their game.  Please take the time to read the tips on How to Speed Up Slow Play.

Congratulations to Mike Smith who came in with an astonishing 55 points on Wednesday.  Mike’s score triggered off an investigation by GolfLink; they called me from Sydney on Thursday to check the validity of his score. For the record Mike shot an 82 off the stick off a 31 handicap.

All reports coming from our host day at Headland have been positive; it certainly is a very nice course to visit. Our leading player on the day was Ed Boyd with 41 points. Ed will receive a bottle of “The Park” wine courtesy of our sponsor “smallPRINT Australia Pty Ltd”.

This coming Wednesday we are putting on a free Hamburger and drink of your choice at Marty’s Hut (pictured left is the original half way hut which became the current Marty’s Hut).   This will be a compulsory stop.

This is how it works:

The first 9 groups to tee off (6.30am – 7.26 am) will call in at Marty’s Hut on their way in, before they tee off the 15th.

The remainder of the players will call into Marty’s Hut after they play the 7th hole.

A Pragmatic Approach

A story from Warren Buffett (one of the great investors) – his 1st wife had her credit card stolen but Warren didn’t report it as the offender was spending less on the card than his wife.

  • 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.

    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.

    Daren Muddle
