Well, what a perfect day out! For those that couldn’t make it to Cooroy to take part in their Junior Classic “you missed out on a great day”, the weather was perfect and the course was in excellent condition thanks to Wayne Patston (Manager) and his great team who put on a fantastic day’s golf and I must say it was brilliant to see our nine hole players back out on the course competing on the same day as their more senior counter parts, and that’s just the way it should be!!!

Before we do the News Letter, The Invincibles Tour would like to take some time to reflect on Cooroy’s “MARY WHITE MEMORIAL” Junior Classic. Mary was a long serving member at Cooroy Golf Club which was one of the main reasons why they chose to name their Junior Classic in her honour. Another reason was that Mary had a long history of looking after the juniors at their club by putting in a great deal of time and effort to help promote, develop and nurture junior golf in the region, particularly at her home club Cooroy and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we look forward to returning next year to enjoy Cooroy’s friendly hospitality and company whilst supporting a very important event in Mary’s memory.

The Tour would like to thank and congratulate Cooroy Golf Club; in particular their manager Wayne Patston for all the effort and hard work he and his team put into making sure their guests have a good time! The Tour would like to thanks Leonie Mason for doing a great job at the bar, Assunta Easton for organising the score cards and Kirsty Herring (Course Superintendant) and her team for presenting the course in magnificent condition.



2011 Cooroy Junior Classic Champions The Tour would like to take the opportunity to Congratulate Mikaleigh Pickles and Shae Wools – Cobb for being crowned the Cooroy “Mary White Memorial” Junior Classic Champions for 2011 and for also being the first qualifiers for The Invincibles IGA Sunshine Coast Junior Masters Championship for 2012. 

It really does make me feel good when I see our senior members taking the time to encourage and support our youngest members (Pee Wees) and that was no more evident than when Shae Wools – Cobb took the time to donate some new golf balls as an Encouragement Award for our nine hole competitors. Well done Shae, you leave a fantastic legacy and in the process you’ve made a little boys day! Well done!!! I know that Cooroy was hit hard by the floods back in January / February and it’s an absolute credit to them to see the work they’ve done to bring their course back to the great condition that it’s in today.

For those that haven’t visited or taken the opportunity to visit the newly constructed eighteen holes at Cooroy, then do yourself a favour and take the time to enjoy the experience for yourself, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed as Wayne and his team go to a lot of effort to ensure everyone feels welcome and enjoys the Cooroy Golf Club’s warm and friendly hospitality.

We would like to make a special tribute to those unsung champions “The Parents” that are there at every event supporting their children through good days and bad days, good rounds and bad rounds and more often than not picking up the pieces when things don’t go quite right! It seems to me when I’m doing the photos for the Newsletters and Galleries that most are making the most of getting together as a family in the pristine conditions of well manicured golf courses and enjoying each other’s company and surely that can’t be a bad thing?

I would like to take this opportunity to “welcome Frank back from his holidays in America” and thank The Invincibles Tour Committee (pictured below) for all their hard work and support. Their incredible input is very much appreciated and a major reason why the Tour works so well. There’s no doubt that when you witness what goes on behind the scenes of THE TOUR then you get a greater understanding of just how much people care and what lengths there prepared to go to give every child the opportunity to follow their dreams in a quest to reach their full potential!!!

The Invincibles Tour would like to pass on their thanks and appreciation to their supporters and sponsors for giving us the opportunity to have and run our own Junior Golf Tour!!!

The four points for The Invincibles Inter – Club Team Shield went to Horton Park for first; Peregian Springs gained two points for second with Gympie earning one point for third!
