Hi reader,

WEDNESDAY

A field of 89 played a Single Stableford sponsored by ‘AAAC’ (aka Brett LeMoy, Don Esposito, Kerry Davies, Wayne Price).

Highlight of the day was Derek Clayton's even with the card back nine for 26 points after scoring just 12 on the front nine to finish 2nd in B-Grade.

And, just to prove once again that age only matters to veteran golfers if it's wine or cheese, Lionel Willett (90 years young and not counting) did better than the majority of the field, finishing with a creditable 35 points. His playing partners said it was precision“straight down the middle golf”.

Ron Blount had a welcome return to form with 40 to take C Grade from Mike O'Donnell and Matt Saunders.

Greg Flanagan is back on the winning list with 40 to claim B Grade from Derek Clayton and Darryl Ayers.

Terry Magill fired the best round of the day to take A Grade with 42 from Keith Harkins and Russ Rylance.

Amazingly there are no Peters on the podium this week!

STUFF THAT MATTERS

There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scene to organise and run successful host days. Members can assist by providing clear and complete details when they nominate to play:
  • Full Name - no nick names
  • Golf Link No - the last 5 digits of your Cooroy Golf Club member number
  • walking or carting
  • make it clear if playing with another. If carting, it is the responsibility of one of the two players to book the cart.
Recently several members nominated with name only or nick-name, creating unnecessary work for our Host Day Captain in chasing up information or guessing. In future members not providing full information required by the nomination form may find their nomination rejected.

MEMBERSHIP

Welcome aboard to new member Ross Maloney. Ross has just moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney and is looking forward to playing with the Vets.

Vice Captain, Jim Henderson, is excited as he thinks he might have another recruit for his International All Stars team.

HOST DAYS

Last played in 2019 due to COVID-19, Cooroy have held ‘MaryRoy Shield’ for the last two years winning by 19 points in 2019. Round 1 in 2021 saw Cooroy take a lead of 37 points. Terry McCulloch led Cooroy to a clean sweep in each grade with an outstanding 42.

We play the 2nd round at Maryborough on the 1st June. With home ground advantage Maryborough will be looking to exact revenge and reverse the result.

The nomination sheet for Maryborough is available in the clubhouse and the free bus is organised. Our bus driver will be Bruce Otto. It is always a fun trip on the bus with lots of laughs so bring your jokes along. Please ensure you indicate on the nomination sheet if you want to ride on the bus - there are plenty of seats available.
