VETS – Newsletter week ending 5th December 2015

XMAS LUNCH ATTENDANCE

There are quite a few members who haven’t indicated if they will be attending our Xmas lunch next Wednesday.  We need an accurate indication of numbers for catering purposes.  If you didn’t record your intentions on the List available last Wednesday please email Rod urgently and let him know.  Otherwise there may not be enough food for the committee and they won’t be very happy!

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Errol & KevinIt was “Medal of Medal” day where the honors’ went to Errol Radley (left – smile Errol you won everything) with a nett 60.  Errol’s closest rival was Paul O’Hare who finished with a nett 63.

It was also our December John Madill Monthly Medal”, the winners Errol Radley (60), Chris Nielsen (62), and Kevin Crundall (left with Errol) (63), are therefore the first to be eligible to contest the 2016 Medal of Medals.

Next weeks 4 Man Ambrose is our last programmed event for the year.  It is also our FREE Xmas lunch and presentation day.  Once again we have chosen 246ate to do our catering.

Our sponsors for the day are the very popular “Bush Boys x 15”.

For those not in the know the Bush Boys consist of:

Bruce Wilshire, Peter Reilly, Kerry Martin, Phil Mason, Jon Sendall, Jim Prendergast, Paddy Knapp, Jim Gregg, John Quodling, Gary Sheales, Bill Galvin, John Kelly, Glen Johnstone, John McNamara, & Tom Murphy.

The Bush Boys have been sponsoring this event and others through the year for sometime, it is their and other sponsors generosity that enables us to put on a range of member benefits throughout the year.

You probably noticed our “Xmas Break Competition” nomination sheets out on display. There has been a good response so far, the 4 sheets and details are up on our notice board and will be out on the “Lucky Prize” table next week.

Remember next weeks shotgun start is 7.30 am. Please feel free to dress in Christmas spirit attire.  I will be looking for something bright to wear.

  • 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

    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.
