CAPTAIN’s CORNER
I must say that it is nice to be back amongst familiar faces after my 7 weeks away. Thank you to Vice–Captain Jim Henderson and the rest of the committee for taking on my duties while I was absent.
I didn’t play any golf while I was away and must admit that I didn’t miss that part of it. What I did miss was the very friendly and social aspect of our Vets golf that just seems to come naturally at Cooroy. This is a credit to all of our members. I would also like to take this opportunity in thanking all of our member sponsors who have donated prizes this year, your generosity goes a long way in being able to provide you all with member benefits.
I have now updated both the Jim Penman Host Day Trophy and the Most Consistent Stableford Competition leader boards. These are on display on our notice board.
Leading the “Jim Penman Host Day Trophy” is Don Clelland with 348 points from his best 10 games. Close behind are Jason Egan 347, and Rex Williams 345.
Leading the “Most Consistent Stableford Competition” is Greg Michael with 377 points from his best 10 games. In 2nd place is Rex Williams 370, and 3rd is John Stewart 358.
You may have overheard some rumblings regarding the Cooroy Golf Club cutting the number of our shotgun starts next year. I wish to advise that our President Graham Laing and club President Rob Powell are in discussions at the moment in an attempt to come up with a resolution that may suit us better.
