Vets – NEWSLETTER week ending 25th October 2014

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

All player’s who attended Tuesday’s 9 hole invitation by the ladies seemed to really enjoy the event, the ladies put on a well organized event and the morning tea after the game will be hard to match when we play host next year.

Great reports received for our 1st Marty’s Hut Compulsory Stop Event. It was a pity that Marty (picture) could not attend as he is back in hospital again.

Excellent job done by our Chefs of the day in, Jim Henderson and Graham Laing.

SPEED OF PLAY REPORT –  No complaints this week which is good to see.   Just for the record our quickest round was understandably by the 1st group out who completed their round in 3hrs 30mins, the slowest round for the day was 4hrs 10mins which is very good considering we all had the stop at Marty’s Hut.

Next week is the 1st week of our Vets Championship, good luck to all players.  Bob Watson will be our official photographer for this event, so make sure you smile if you see him close by.

HEALTH FORUM

Although there hasn’t been direct feedback we assume members found this initiative helpful with the first article published earlier this month in our Newsletter.

Whilst the intention is to publish Health Forum articles about once a month the message in HF No 2 is considered of such importance that we could not delay passing it on to members.  The article was received from an anonymous author interested in the well being of members.

If you would like to contribute speak to Mike Smith or Rod.

FIRST DRINK WITH MY SON

I was reading an article last night about fathers and sons and memories came flooding back of the time I took my son out for his first schooner.

Off we went to our local pub, which is only two blocks from the house.

I got him a Guinness. He didn’t like it – so I drank it.

Then I got him a Tooheys, he didn’t like it, so I drank it.

It was the same with the XXXX and the VB.

By the time we got down to the whiskey,

I could hardly push the stroller back home.

  • 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.

    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.
