Vets – NEWSLETTER week ending 26th April 2014

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

If you saw Jim Penman’s (left) team congregating around the first pine tree, just off the 1st tee. No! They weren’t having a tree planting exercise to commemorate Anzac Day; they were in fact playing their second shot.

Our Anzac Day, 4 Man Ambrose was played in perfect conditions. A big thanks must go to our sponsors, “The Cooroy RSL Sub Branch”, and also to Bill Edwards for organizing the prizes, and for paying respect to the Australians who served and died in all wars.

The team containing new member Steve Hall, returned member Ed Boyd, and Committee Members Mike Smith and Andrew Dick had a good round and won the day with 52.5 points.

Next Wednesday is a 4BBB Stableford, it also is the Qualifying Round for our Pairs Match Play. To qualify for match play you are required to place a Q next to your pair prior to playing. The match play will be decided over the next 8 weeks with the final being played by the 25th of June 2014.

Good luck to all those playing at Bribie Island on Monday, don’t forget it is a 9.00am shotgun start.  Cooroys’ best player will win a bottle of “The Park” Cabernet Sauvignon that has been kindly donated by smallPRINT Australia Pty Ltd.

  • 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.

    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.
