WOMEN: Tee-off for Breast Cancer Research

Tee-off for Breast Cancer Research

Once again Cooroy Golf Club women held their annual Tee Off for Breast Cancer Research. An army of 45 women in pink attacked the course in excellent weather. Many with carts made a great effort to dress them up as well.  The prize for the best dressed cart went to Lee Williams.

The day was sponsored by Noosa River and Canal Cruises and they generously presented the three highest scorers with vouchers to use on their popular cruises. Their generosity extends to providing the club with an evening cruise where all proceeds from the sale of tickets go to Breast Cancer Research. This was supposed to be held earlier this month but bad weather forced a cancellation and we try again on 14 November.

We are very fortunate to have among our members, a former member of the Australian National Women’s Cricket Team from 1968 to 1976 in Patsy Fayne (nee May).  She gave us an extremely entertaining account of the joys and pitfalls of being a woman competing in a sport which was considered to be the domain of males. The Australian Cricket Association of which she is a member very generously donated another $500 to our cause.

The event was a Novelty Stableford where women could buy escape stickers.  The use of these allowed them to count just 1 putt on a green or to avoid the penalty for dropping out of a hazard or for dropping out of a bunker. As a result there were some excellent scores which are listed below.

Our small club was able to raise $716 today from a raffle and escape tickets with another $630 coming in from the cruise. A very satisfying day.  More funds will be generated from the large raffle being held at the club and from Saturday’s event.

Today’s results were:

WINNER:  Shay Zulpo (48 c/b).

1st RUNNER-UP:  Chris Michael (48).

2nd RUNNER-UP:  Aileen Morton (45 c/b).

RUNDOWN:  Tina Thomas (45), Mary Miller (44), Juanita Langford (44), Eve Hunt (44), Helen Coogan (43), Deb Nelson (42), Sue Piggott (41), Patsy Fayne (41), Barb Taylor (41), Wendy Morse (41), Joyce McKay (40), Fay Wiggins (40), Jocelyn Rabjohns (39), Terri Cairns (39).

APPROACHES:  Carmel Clark, Assunta Easton, Leith Barr.

LONGEST PUTT:  Colleen Sykes.

ACCURACY DRIVE:  Fiona Buchanan.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
