IT COULD be a case of three times lucky for golfer Trevor Petty, who has twice achieved a hole in one on the Woodenbong and District Golf Club course.
Trevor will be one of the players contesting the inaugural Woodenbong “Yowie Cup” which will be held on 10 August.
The course and match committee decided a fresh event would be an inspiration for local golfers and visitors alike offering a country course with beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere and decided a team event would be most suitable.
They have seen how popular other team events are as golf is a lot more fun to play with your mates when you are on the same team working together according to committee member Graeme Tye.
“We had to decide on a name for the event,” he said.
“We came up with the ‘Yowie Cup’ because it ties in with the local area reputation of being the home of the “Yowie” due to sightings which have been reported over the many years. We have worked tirelessly on setting this new event up and, now, can only hope that the golfers out there will support us with their attendance”.
The major sponsor for the day is Taylor’s Mitre 10 (Woodenbong), who have sponsored the club for many years and are generously continuing their support with this new event.
The committee want to make this an annual event that all golfers around the northern rivers and southern QLD look forward to playing in each year and are calling for nominations for the inaugural Woodenbong and District Golf Club “Yowie Cup” which is a three-person ambrose team event being held on Sunday 10 August, 10am shotgun start. $15 per person includes morning tea and the bistro available for lunch, plenty of prizes and raffles.
Golfers can lodge their nominations by phone, fax or email by Thursday 7 August. To ensure fairness the minimum team combined handicaps must exceed 30.
