CAPTAIN’s CORNER
This week we played host to Maroochy River on Monday and attracted 42 visitors which is a great effort by them. Our visitors enjoyed themselves but could not adjust to the trees on our course and the slow pace of our greens. They therefore found scoring difficult and the run down went to 31.
Wednesday’s Stableford was played in similar conditions and saw a great improvement in the scores returned. The run down went to 37.
Our Wednesday sponsor was “The Golf Pirates” consisting of Don Pigdon, John Round, and Ron Bourne – of course they are not really Pirates but all the good pseudonyms were taken. Thank you for your support and it was great that John made the effort to stay around after his game and present the prizes.
I don’t want to dwell on it too much, but it is my belief that the running of shotgun start events not only goes a long way towards creating a very pleasant social environment, but it also gives our sponsors the opportunity to be recognised and have the opportunity to present their prizes in front of a large group of members. Unfortunately like this week by the time presentation took place, we only had about 15 members left at the club.
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR VIEWS ON SHOTGUN STARTS.
Coming up on Tuesday the 16th August is our Host Day at Gympie – always a good day. You can nominate online (see separate email to members with on-line link) or see Rod Booth.
On Monday the 22nd August we host Headland and Noosa. The nomination sheet for this game is on our notice board.
