Hi reader,
Golf Bike
The latest in golf transport for Veteran golfers. Notice how the bike livery coordinates with our club colours.

Being electric it allows fast and efficient movement around the course (even the Fast Eddy’s in the first group out each Wednesday would have trouble keeping up) and easily navigates course hazards. And, you can save time by riding into the rough to find your ball. Once your round is over you ride off the course and home, after putting on your helmet off course.

Relive your youth!!

MEMBERSHIP

WEDNESDAY

Thank you for following the lockdown rules on Wednesday for our April Monthly Medal sponsored by John Madill Toyota. It was surprisingly difficult to recognise some members wearing masks so names on shirts helped.

Keith Harkins shot his best ever score but it it fell just short as he was pushed into runner up in A Grade by playing partner, Bob Noble, on a countback.

It was the battle of the ‘Dons’ in C Grade with Don Esposito winning the medal from Don Clelland on a countback.

Tom Williams shot a very creditable 69 to take B Grade from Andre Smit and Jack Timm.

The 'Kevin Tonkin Best Gross' went to (1) Keith Harkins 75 (2) Andy Stewart 77 (T3) Bob Noble, Richard Gibson 78.

Our Vets Captain, Grant, had a good day frequently landing his tee shot in the middle of the fairway. The only problem was it was invariably the wrong fairway.

We WILL play a Stableford and the delayed Irish 4 Ball Stableford next Wednesday sponsored by The Leprechauns. The full range of prizes will be on offer for each competition - two for the price of one. Wear something green or orange. There may even be some Guinness available at the bar.

We recognise ANZAC day on Wednesday, 21st April 2021 with sponsorship by the Cooroy/Pomona RSL Sub Branch and our ex servicemen. If you are interested in joining our ex-servicemen in sponsorship please speak to Errol Radley. There will be a compulsory stop at Marty’s Hut so take a few minutes to remember and enjoy a FREE ‘Jimmy’s Famous Burger and Beer’.

HOST DAYS

33 Cooroy players joined 103 Headland players on Monday for an 8:00 shot-gun start at Headland Golf Club. Despite being closed for three days the course was in very good condition considering all the rain they had.

The rough was a bit long on a couple of holes, making it hard to find a few balls, but if you looked close enough there were enough plugged balls, from weekend play, to compensate.

Cooroy took out three of the nine prizes on offer in 3 Grades. Tony Foster had 43 points, the only player in the field to score 40 points or more, and won B Grade.

Greg Flanagan finished second in B Grade with 37 points and Mike Smith second in C Grade with 35 points.

The ball run-down went to a generous 31 but only Mike Kent, Jim Henderson and Greg Michael were successful there.

A big thank you to Bruce Reid the Captain of Headland, their members, and staff for the great day we had.

Nominations for the visit to Nambour on Monday, 19th April are still open. The nomination sheet is available in the clubhouse.

We have our six teams for the District 2 Ball Aggregate Stableford event at Maroochy River on the 16th April 2021. The $30 entry fee per player must be paid to Dave Lyons by 9th April 2021. NOTE: If you are playing in this event you must wear club colours.
