CAPTAIN’s CORNER
Most of us missed our cancelled Host Day at Peregian Springs, but not all players missed out. Ian McMullen is not on our e-mail list and was unaware that our day had been cancelled. He turned up and was surprised that there were no familiar faces in the car park. His trip was not in vain as he was invited to join the PS Vets who still played their game with carts on paths only. The cancelled game has been rescheduled for Monday the 25th May and you are required to re-nominate.
Ian has been bragging that he came in with the leading Cooroy score for the day.
This Wednesday was monthly medal day, and it was nice that our sponsor John Madill (left) could join us for a game. Ian Mulhall (left) kindly donated a box of 15 balls that we used for the run down, and Bob Read with a nett 61 became our first multiple medal winner this year (he also won in March).
Errol Radley is our 2nd player to win the $25 Thai Tong voucher. His golfing partner Kevin Olsen won the other voucher a couple of weeks ago so it is a fair bet they will form a team and head to Yandina soon.
You only have until next week to nominate for the SCDVGA Team challenge that will be played at Pelican Waters on Thursday the 21st May. The nomination sheet will be out on our raffle table next Wednesday.
From next Wednesday our caterer 246Ate Catering will be operating out of the kitchen with a variety of food. To make their effort worthwhile and to ensure they stay, please support them.

COOROY GOLF CLUB NEWSLETTER
You will have noticed in the new Cooroy Golf Club NEWSLETTER there will be a regular Hole by Hole article including a Pro and Amateur Tip on how to play the hole as well as humorous or just plain sad but true stories about each hole.
The Editors are looking for contributions on Amateur Tips and stories for each hole. If you can make a contribution on either or both of these topics please contact Wayne or Rod. They will be used.
To refresh the 1st edition of the Newsletter covered Hole 3. Here is an extract.
| “The 3rdis a par 4 dog leg left with the fairway sloping left into trees hiding a water hazard all the way to a generous green with severe surface contours. The back and right side of green falls away steeply. PRO TIP: Favour right side of fairway approach with slight draw. Anywhere left and the slope of the fairway will make it difficult to go at the pin, particularly if it is a blue pin (back)placement. AMATEUR TIP: Throw your ball in the creek, take a wipe and walk to the 4th Tee.” |
One of the most common complaints across The Club is the lack of regular communication. The Cooroy Golf Club Newsletter is aimed at improving communication. Feedback on the 1st Edition has been good but it will only succeed and continue if members are involved and engaged – get involved and engaged.
