VETS: Week ending 23rd January 2016

Rating: 4.8

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

A busy week started with our visit to Pelican Waters on Monday. Picture – Andrew Dick photo bombing!!

At one stage we had 50 players going, but ended up with a very creditable 42 players in the end. Apologies go to Ian McMullen, Mike Smith, and Rob Nash who were named for being no shows. It turns out that they had all made an attempt to notify of their withdrawal but unfortunately to the wrong people. For the record, these host days are run by the Captain’s of the various clubs. Your Captain is the person who should be notified of any changes.

Wednesday’s are a different story as the Cooroy Golf Club has a copy of the Nomination Sheet at all times and can make changes on your behalf.

Congratulations to Ray Glover (42 points), John Cairns (41), Rod Roemermann (40), Rod Harper (39), George Hall and Kevin Crundall (37) for being the best of our players. The Jim Penman Host Day Trophy Leader Board will be on display on our notice board soon.

Wednesday saw the start of our Stableford Player of the Year competition. We play a total of 20 Stableford games for the year and your best 10 scores count.

Graham Laing is our early leader and scored an impressive 48 points. Details of this competition will also be pinned to our Notice Board.

Thank you to Wednesday’s member prize sponsors in Brian Flynn and Graham Laing.

Next week is a 2 Man Ambrose competition. Please try and ensure that you have a playing partner.

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.
Daniel Bowater

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.
