Vets – NEWSLETTER week ending 24th May 2014

Name: Cooroy Golf Club | Sunshine Coast
Rating: 4.8

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

On Monday we played our Host Day at Nambour, it was a good day and great scores were scarce, our leading player and therefore winning a bottle of “The Park” Cabernet Sauvignon was Peter Piggott with a credible 36 points.

Wednesday’s Stableford competition was sponsored by Dave Chapman. Dave is one of our many player sponsors. Unfortunately Dave couldn’t stay to do the presentation, so if you were amongst the winners, don’t forget to thank him. Rob Nash (left) who hasn’t appeared in the winners list for awhile was the star and won the A-Grade with 44 points.

Once again our entire field failed to take out the “Richies Bakery” NTP on the 4^th hole.

It was great to see Lian turn up and present the “Lian Scott Personal Travel Manager” 10^th hole NTP that was won by a very happy Ray Glover. The 15^th hole is sponsored by “Noosa Outlook Prestige Meat” and was won by Jon Sendall.

Best of luck to our 10 players who are representing the Cooroy Vets by taking part in the District Team Challenge at Pelican Waters on Thursday. Last year we finished last, so are hoping for better things this year.

Thank you to Col Easton who donated a box of 12 Srixon golf balls that he won as a NTP prize in last weeks’ State Championships at Mount Coolum.

And also thanks to Alan Humphries who donated half a dozen Srixon balls that he had previously won.

The donation of golf balls and other prize donations make it possible for your Committee to direct our funds into other areas that are of benefit to the Vets, like the Sausage Sizzles etc.

I am taking a break, and will be overseas for a month. You will be in great hands while I am away with Vice-Captain Jim Henderson taking the reins.

Colin Davie
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
Great course. Well maintained with very friendly staff!
carl gall

Geoff Cohen

Rob Kruger
This is a friendly country course in great condition. Greens are in good nick. Well worth a visit if you ate on the area.
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.
Chan
