On the Saturday of our annual weekend away, 16 hearty souls opened up their purse strings to play a round of golf at Hope Island. Although the scores were not all that great (the best being 34 pts and the worst we won’t mention), everybody loved the course and vowed to go back next year.
Then the players (all but two) went on to join the remaining players for the annual BBQ at the Coomera Motor Inn where the draw for Sunday took place. The next morning, with clear skies and plenty of sunshine (but a few sore heads), we embarked on a short journey to the Helensvale Golf Club where 24 players participated in our annual event of a Four Ball Worst Ball and the Captain –v- President Challenge. The course proved to be a greater challenge then some thought and the task was a little bit daunting. Most of the holes were short in distance but long in stature and plenty of water trimming the fairways. There were mixed feelings amongst the players as to whether we will play there again.
