Vets – NEWSLETTER week ending 28th June 2014

WHAT’s COMING UP

Busy golfing month coming up in July!

A reminder – next week’s Monthly Medal is a shot gun start at the new time of 8:30am.

Nominations for the invitation day to Cooroy Women for a 3 Person Ambrose on Monday, 7th July, close on 2nd July.

The Nomination sheet for hosting Horton Park at Cooroy on 14th July 2014 is available in the club house.

The host day visit to Caloundra on Friday, 25th July, is back on for that date.  Nomination sheet is available in club house.

Our next SAUSAGE SIZZLE will be held on 23rd July 2014 – it seems the buttered bread-rolls and well cooked sausages (thanks to Nick Kostalas) went down well last time.  This is an opportunity to stay in touch and engaged with past and present Vets members we don’t see very often, or at all, for whatever reason or who are injured or ill and unable to play golf.   If there is someone you think should be invited please let Rod or any of the Vets Committee know.   The invitees will join us for the sausage sizzle part of the day.

KIRSTY HERRING

Goods new for Kirsty but sad news for Cooroy Golf Club.

Kirsty has accepted a senior green keeping position with Kalgoorlie Golf Club and will be leaving on 11th July 2014.

On behalf of Cooroy Vets we wish Kirsty all the best in her new role and for the future and thank her for skilfully preparing and presenting the course.  We appreciated her efforts and regularly received positive feedback from visiting Vets about our course.

COOROY OPEN

Congratulations to Jim Penman for taking out the Cooroy Open last weekend.  Just proves age only matters if it involves wine or cheese.

NOMINATION SHEET

We have had complaints that players have nominated in a group on the Nomination Sheet only to find later that it has been removed or changed.

As a matter of courtesy names should not be changed or removed without the okay from the person involved.

Of course on competition day the Starter, Captain or Vice Captain may, for practical reasons, need to move players between groups so please bear with us when this occurs.

We also ask you to include your handicap on the Nomination Sheet.  There is a practical reason for this.  It assists Grant and Jimmy in placing players in the correct grade when preparing the white board for a competition – it is understood your handicap may change between putting your name on the sheet and game day.

CART USAGE

Unfortunately again on Wednesday there were incidents of careless use of carts in areas that should have been avoided.

Please take care to observe the direction of cart signs and be conscious of course conditions – particularly wet or closed off areas.

  • 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.

    carl gall

  • 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.
