The Jim and Ilene Penman Memorial Garden at the 18th Tee is complete thanks to funding by Cooroy Vets, garden design, construction and oversight by Grant Smallacombe and Jim Henderson and the efforts of Vets volunteers.
|
Jim served as Vets Captain for sixteen years, Captain of Cooroy Golf Club for many years and is the only person to be honoured with life membership of both clubs.
|
|
Club honour boards are also a reminder of Jim’s prowess as a golfer.
|
|
Ilene, herself a good golfer, ably partnered and supported Jim throughout their life together.
|
The garden will be maintained by Cooroy Vets members as they play past each Wednesday and 'tip the driver' in memory of Jim.
|
|
The memorial garden is a fitting tribute to true stalwarts of golf and their support for veteran golfers.

New Hire Carts
The new 'red hire cart' fleet with GPS is in service with positive feedback from users.
|
|
The GPS restricts carts from operating in 'no go areas' and reports transgressors to the clubhouse.
|
|
|
Grass Nursery
A nursery is in the making on the far side of the 14th fairway to provide replacement grass for cases where foreign grass is polluting greens.
|
|
The nursery area is designated GUR so free drop away no closer to hole.
|
|
|
Calendar Corner
The dedicated computer is now available in the clubhouse for members to make Event Calendar enquiries.
|
It is also available to coach members not so comfortable in using The Club website.

Tip for using our website - Noticeboards
We use three digital Noticeboards on our website. These notice boards appear in the right side-bar of most web-pages so they are always visible.

Results, articles and notices can be categorised to allow information to be organised under common themes making it easier for the viewer to find items of interest.
The Noticeboard and any Category or Tag assigned to the post display towards the end of the article - see graphic below. Clicking on one or other of these displays a lists of associated articles ordered by date with links to individual posts.
