Despite a somewhat foggy start we enjoyed perfect weather for the club’s inaugural Ladies Invitational which attracted a field of 63, including players from Caloundra Golf Club, Beerwah Golf Club, Headland Golf Club, Pelican Waters Golf Club, The clubhouse, Gympie Golf Club, Nanango Golf Club, Cooroy Golf Club, Noosa Springs, Noosa Golf Club & Tin Can Bay Country Club for Golfers.

The big news of the day came from the driver of Aida Lavings from Nanango Golf Club who ticked one off the bucket list by acing the 140m Par 3 Third Hole to earn a place in the annals of the club’s history on the Terry Lee Memorial Hole-in-One Cub Honour Board! Congratulations Aida.

Our overall winner and B Grade winner was Karen Heading (Maleny) with 39 points. Carmel Clark (Cooroy) won A Grade with 28 points while Judy Buss (Noosa Springs) was the runner up with 27 on a count back from Teresa Cairns (Cooroy).

Our B Grade runner up was Aida Lavings with 31 points on a countback from Toni Bishop (Maleny). Christine Lemon (Maleny) won C Grade with a score of 37 points while Margaret Goodger (Maleny) was the runner up with 34 points.

Thanks so much to our army of volunteers who helped keep things moving on the course by spotting and bunker-raking. Also a big thanks to the catering team led so ably by Paul Lowe  for serving up morning tea and feeding the players after their round. The club really acquitted itself well under the District spotlight thanks to a fantastic collective effort. Special thanks to Captain Margaret Trigger for the massive organisational effort involved.

Liz Mellish took the pin on the 3rd and John Clayton came close to holing out to take the pin on the 5th.Golf_Competition_Report_361970

Tony also got the ladies pin on the 3rd while the men’s pin on the 5th went to Denis O’Neill.Golf_Competition_Report_360821
