Week ending 27th July 2013 (Vets)

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Well done to all players who turned up and played in very wet conditions underfoot.  Let’s hope we see some sunshine this coming week and the coarse starts to dry up.

The wet conditions didn’t seem to trouble our President, Kevin Crundall and his playing partner John Kelly, as they carded a very impressive 51 points.

Coming up is a Host Day at Gympie on Monday the 19th of August.  We won’t be supplying a bus, so I suggest we car pool.  Let me know if you require a ride.

RESULTS FROM 24th July 2013

Event: 4BBB Stableford

Thanks to our prize donor Smallacombe Building Company.  The multi-store gift cards are proving popular and provide something different.

It was great to have a couple of visitors, Kevin Donoghue and Kevin East, taking advantage of our beautiful weather – well it was a cloudless, sunny day!

Congratulations to the winners, Kevin and John, a couple of our early starters.  There was a tongue in cheek suggestion that they might have had more favorable conditions than later groups.

  • 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.

    Daren Muddle
