VETS – Newsletter week ending 23rd May 2015

Captain’s Corner

We had 22 players who ventured to Nambour on Monday, and as you know it rained most of the day which made playing conditions very tough.  The Nambour course was in great condition other than being wet.  A very creditable 17 of our players completed the 18 holes.  The best score returned by a Cooroy player was 35 points by Ed Krop.

THE MONKEYS OFF HIS BACK, THE MONKEYS OFF HIS BACK.

Bob Noble wins for a change but was assisted by the injury to playing partner Kevin Tonkin who took a tumble on the 1st hole.   Bob’s 43 points probably would not have been enough if the inform Kevin Tonkin had been able to complete his round.

Thank you to our trophy donors in Les Arthur, Dave Chapman and Denis Guion.  The other two winners were B Grade – Ed Boyd 44, and C Grade – Paul O’Hare with 43points.   At least on Wednesday Ed didn’t have to contend with this sort of ‘local hazard’ encountered during a game at Mt Beauty in Victoria whilst on holidays.  Ed says he deftly chipped under the hazards to get on the green.

THE MONKEYS OFF our BACK, THE MONKEYS OFF our BACK.

Yes! on Thursday our team played in the SCDVGA Team Challenge and after finishing last on the previous 2 occasions, I am happy to report that we are on the way up. This year we finished 2nd to last and only 23points behind the winning team of Mt Coolum.   Our leading player was Graham Laing who finished with 31 points. Pelican Waters put on a great day and the course was in top condition.

  • 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.

  • 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.
