Warm Up Nets
The new Warm Up Nets are located at the end of the Cart Sheds, in close proximity to our 1st and 10th Tees. They feature the latest synthetic hitting mats (per our Driving Range) that provide more shock absorption than older style mats, and as such are designed to prevent wrist and elbow injuries. They also allow you to use your own tees/tee heights, as opposed to the old style rubber protruding tees that were only one height, tended to damage clubs, and also led to premature wear in one spot on the mats.
Welcome to our new Head Chef
My name is Mitchell Osbourne (no relation to Dave!) and I have been appointed as the new Head Chef as of 18th April 2023. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a select few but not all of you.
A quick game’s a good game
There’s an old saying about sport – “a quick game’s a good game”, and although professional golfers don’t seem to always buy into this, as Club golfers it’s probably something that most of us aspire to! The R&A recognised this a few years ago and established “Ready Golf” principles for adoption by Clubs.
AGF Junior Girls Golf Scholarship
Maroochy River Golf Club boasts a group of keen girl golfers who have received an Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) Junior Girls Golf scholarship for 2023. Di Pavich, resident PGA Professional has been coaching the girls who are aged 8-13 throughout the first school term.
Sand Loss from Bunkers
A question the Greens Committee is often asked by Members is why our Bunker Rakes do not have long teeth or ‘tines’ as some other courses do. The wind over the last week or so is a large part of the answer!
Be Cart Smart in Wet Weather
As the cooler weather arrives and we see some much needed rain on the Course, it becomes even more important that we remain conscious of where we drive our Golf Carts on the Course in order to keep it in top condition.
Paul Malcolm Hole in One
Huge congratulations to member Paul Malcolm who shot his first ace on HOLE 8 during competition on Sunday 2nd April 2023. Playing from the Blue tee reading 186m on the range finder with a half club tail wind, Paul struck a solid 6 Iron straight in line with the pin which looked the goods and landed on the front edge of the green and after a couple if bounces it disappeared out of vision.
Rose Bowl Day
Our Rose Bowl Day was well supported with 144 players participating, including 7 Brisbane & District clubs represented. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Debbie Constable, Sales Manager of Nutrimetics, plus a very successful raffle, the end result was a profit of over $2,000 to the Club.
