VETS – Week ending 4th July 2015

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Monday’s trip to Woodford saw some very good results by a few of our players with Don Clelland scoring 46 points and Russ Rylance 43 points. The course was in very good condition and we all got in before the downpour.

I must say that the organization down there was not that great and the event was not very well supported by their players.  Woodford pay us a visit on the 16th of November, so it will be interesting to see how they support our event.

Wednesday was our John Madill Monthly Medal, and the course was very wet underfoot.  We did however play in brilliant sunshine and most scores returned were probably about 4 strokes more than when we play in normal conditions.

It was unfortunate to hear that Stuart Wright has resigned due to ongoing shoulder problems.   Stuart has asked that I pass on the following: “I have enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, and the many notable members that created for me great memories. I would like Grant to pass this on to the many veterans and thank them for the mateship”.

We wish Stuart all the best and also extend a welcome to him if he would like to join us at any time to catch up with his mates.  Obviously we would like to see Stuart attend our “Vets Xmas Lunch” at the end of the year.

On Tuesday the 14th of July we are inviting the ladies to a 9 hole, 3 person Ambrose. The comp fee will be $6.00 and it will be an 8.00am shotgun start.  It is short notice but we would like a few more names on the sheet as we don’t want to be outnumbered.  The sheet is on our pin up board and will be out on the table next Wednesday.

  • 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.
