CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Dave Collins has retired his ‘mind of its own’ golf buggy and acquired a rather elegant new one complete with handbrake, foot brake and a couple of other useful accessories – an anchor and GPS.

Thank you to everyone for turning up to play in our host day with Peregian Springs and Nambour. We had a very successful day and just missed out on the 100 players, with a field of 99.

A reminder that our invitation visit to Woodford is coming up on the 17^th June with nominations closing on the 12^th June.   We have a 21 seat bus that will leave from the car park, on the other side of the railway line, opposite the club at 7.00am.  At this stage I believe we have a spare seat, however if you require transport, contact me as I am sure we can work something out.

BEWARE, Black Caviar has been seen lurking around the club, and is setting himself for another win.

Monday, 3^rd June 2013: Weather fine, track holding – perfect for golf.

A field of 99, our best for a long time, allowed 3 grades for the visit by close neighbors, Peregian Springs and Nambour.

Peregian Springs took out the major prize in each grade with Cooroy taking two minor prizes.

It seems there was something of a grudge match between Tony Illa (PS) and Graeme Finn with Tony making special mention of Graeme’s golf prowess at the presentation and Graeme responding in kind – all in good fun.
