Hi reader,

MEMBERSHIP

Welcome to new member Tony Atkins. Tony has just moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney.

HOST DAY PROGRAM

We have reached our 30 player limit so nominations for Caloundra are now closed. Dave Lyons will ask Caloundra to reserve hire carts for players that require one so you don't need to ring to book a cart.

The Cooroy Team of Greg Michael. Gary Menyweather, Mike Kent, Brian Clemow, Dave Lyons, Paul Williams, Bruce Otto and Andrew Carson will be looking to reprise our win in 2019 in the District Matchplay at Gympie on 17th June.

WEDNESDAY

Jack Ruig put together an impressive 42 to take C Grade from Don Esposito and Jim Henderson.

Green’s Director, Ian (Lumpy) Lumsden familiarity with the course saw him record 37 to take B Grade from Paul Williams and Neville Kunst. And thanks to Lumpy for progress on laying the new cart paths.

Grathan Leatherbarrow fired at the right time to qualify for the matchplay and take A Grade with 40 from Gary Menyweather and Russ Rylance. And Russ, did you collect your 5 golf balls from previous wins?

The 16 qualifiers and draw for the 2021 Single Matchplay Championship is available in the link below. Round 1 matches must be played by 7th July 2021. Players are to organise their matches on a date and time that suits both players.

Next week is an 8:00 am shotgun start, 4 Man Ambrose, Vets versus greens staff challenge, and Special General Meeting to approve life membership of Cooroy Vets for Jim Henderson. The SGM will be held as soon as we wrap up the competition. We need a quorum of 16 financial members.

In view of COVID restrictions we need to closely manage numbers in the clubhouse throughout the day. Seating is set up for the restriction limits so if there are no seats available please respect any request to leave the clubhouse. You can assist by moving outside once you register at the start of the day.

There have been many highlights of Todd’s tenure at Cooroy but, for the Vets, one of the standouts has to be the much anticipated annual Vets vs Green Staff challenge when Todd and his crew get to set up the course so it is more difficult than usual for players. Last year the toilet seat around the base of the flag on the 9th caused amusement but, disappointment at the lack of toilet paper - it was in the middle of COVID though! Interestingly, there were several birdies on the hole on the day. Todd is determined to leave with a 100% win rate so we should expect setup of the course this year will be no less ‘challenging’. There is a rumour that some flags may be set in the trees.

The changes to Cooroy golf course under Todd’s direction have been transformational and inspirational. On behalf of Cooroy Vets thank you for your great work and support for the Vets. Best wishes for similar success at Mt Coolum. We look forward to catching up and seeing how the Mt Coolum course changes when we visit on host days.
