2024 has kicked off with a bang for the Maroochy River Juniors, with several of our young Juniors having secured their spots in prestigious golf tournaments! The State School Championships, the Greg Norman Junior Masters, and the Sunshine Coast Junior Masters are just a few of the arenas where our budding golfers will be showcasing their skills.

The new Monthly Medal Award is a large medal in Club Colours and finished in gold. The medal itself can be used as a large ball marker, however it also contains a smaller removeable ball marker in its centre. The smaller ball marker is double-sided. On one side it features the ‘Maroochy River Golf Club est. 2015’ logo finished in gold; and on the reverse side it features the heritage ‘Horton Park Golf Club 1950-2015’ logo also finished in gold.

After the slight stumble during June, a win at home against Indooroopilly at the end of June set the Maroochy River team up for a major swing in fortunes during July.

The mini golf is continuing to be a great success for the club. The lady garden volunteers (we would welcome any males who are green thumbs too) are very pleased to contribute to this success with the work and time given each Friday.
