Vets – NEWSLETTER week Ending 1st February 2014

Name: Cooroy Golf Club | Sunshine Coast
Rating: 4.8

Captain’s Corner

Our 2 Man Ambrose attracted a field of 77 players, and most seemed to enjoy a much cooler day than last week.

The winning combination of Kevin Olsen and Errol Radley showed that to win these competitions you need to fire a few birdies.

Unfortunately there were a few cards that did not indicate who’s tee shot was used on each hole. As there was an 8 compulsory tee shots each rule in place, I had no other option, but to disqualify those teams. One of those teams would have finished 3^rd.

Our 1^st group out followed up last weeks’ quick round, and again took just 3 hour 10 minute to complete their round. Also well done by the group of 6 players who were placed in the middle of the field. They didn’t hold anybody up, and were praised by other competitors.

LOST – Peter Piggott lost his ball retriever during his game, and he is hoping that someone may have picked it up.

WORKING BEE – Our next working Bee will be on Monday, February the 17^th^, volunteers will be assisting with the coring of the greens.

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

carl gall

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
I’ve played at this golf course several times. The par 4 course is a bit short but well-maintained, and the lady at the pro shop were very friendly.
