VETS – NEWSLETTER week ending 4th April 2015

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Well APRIL FOOLS DAY turned out to be a bit of a fizzer with wet weather causing the cancellation of the competition and the free meal.

The upside of this is that you may have been spared being made an APRIL FOOL of as we had a few things planned out on the course to catch the unwary.

This was also to be our “John Madill Toyota” Monthly Medal, so we will now have to reschedule this event.  One option is to perhaps play it on a spare Monday.   I will be asking all players for their thoughts on this idea when they register next week.

We did state that at least 2 out of the 10 items listed on our April Fool’s Day Flyer would definitely happen.  Even though we didn’t play, we were true to our word and can confirm the following:

1)    Bob Watson has come out of retirement & has announced his comeback to golf.

2)    Con Russell did not swear or throw a tantrum during his round.

3)    John Butler did not get annoyed by slow players.

This week’s game was also going to be the last for a very popular member in Charlie Adelberg.  It was unfortunate that we couldn’t give him a better send off, but we do wish Charlie all the best with his move to Bendigo.

It was great to see our Treasurer/Secretary Rod Booth back at the club.  Andrew Dick who has done a great job in Rod’s absence wasted no time in handing back the paperwork.  Andrew couldn’t hide his elation, and no doubt his golf game will now improve dramatically.

WHAT’s COMING UP

Coming up next week we have a Single Stableford that is being sponsored by members Rod Roemermann, Mike Miklenda, and Kevin Crundall.

On Monday the 13th of April we have our invitation day at Bribie Island.  We have 41 players who have nominated to make the trip – 9.30 Shotgun Start.

  • 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.
