Hi reader,
Stewart John - Gold Member Award
Vets Captain, Grant Smallacombe presented John Stewart with his Gold Member Award and Golf Shirt for achieving 25 years playing participation with Cooroy Veterans’ Golf Club. Congratulations John, 80 years young.

Rumour has it that John misquoted his age so keen was he to join the Vets!
A field of 86 and hotly contested 2 Man Ambrose on Wednesday saw a tie for first place between Team Kennedy (Peter Kennedy and Dale Rickard) and Team Clemow (Brian Clemow and Tom Williams).

Team Henderson took out third place. A hard fought battle saw Team Loe and Team Harkins tie for fourth place.

Andrew Dick, Mike Smith, Ian Mulhall and Rod Booth hit off earlyish to complete a round of golf before Andrew, Mike and Ian turned their hand to preparing the sausage sizzle - which was more satisfying! As usual, Rod was consigned to the exchequer counting out the money. Brian McLoughlan came in to assist with the sausage sizzle and catch up with old (well oldish) friends - thanks Brian.

Next Wednesday is the February Monthly Medal and time start from 6:30 am.
