Special Olympics – Volunteers Required

The Keperra Country Golf Club is pleased to announce it will be hosting another QLD Special Olympics golfing event on the 14th of March.  The event itself relies heavily on volunteers to ensure all participants can compete safely whilst having fun. 

The Club is currently looking for approximately eight B grade players to partner a Special Olympics athlete in the 9 holes alternate shot format. In this format the athlete tees off on all holes and then it is alternate shot after that, i.e. the volunteer would play the second shot and so on. We also require approximately 12 scorers/rules monitors to help with basic rulings and maintain a positive pace of play.

To give Members an indication of how far their assistance goes for these athletes, the below email was received from a member of the Special Olympics support team following the Club’s last hosted event.

“On behalf of Special Olympics Queensland Golf, please convey to your committee, members and staff our sincere appreciation for hosting the Special Olympics Brisbane club 2020 golf tournament. It is very much valued the generosity, friendliness and inclusiveness that Keperra Golf and it’s volunteers offer to our athletes.

This year’s tournament turned out to be a wonderful success, we had 29 players of varying degrees of ability all supported by volunteers and families. This was our first competition since Covid, and our athletes were itching for competition out on the golf course.

Thank you once again for the club’s hospitality, generosity and the volunteers time.  We look forward to returning to Keperra Golf Club soon.”

All that is required is a good sense of humour and patience.  Members should know that each athlete will have their own carer provided so they need not worry about their health / well being.  

Any members looking to volunteer for this very worthy cause are encouraged to contact KCGC Golf Shop Team Leader Peter Zealley on peterz@keperragolf.com.au

Club Championship Update / Changes

This year’s Gents A, B & C Grade Championships and the Ladies Weekend Championships were due to be played in conjunction. With the demand for Championship play higher than that of past years the Gents Championship is oversubscribed, particularly in C Grade. 

This would almost certainly leave not enough time slots available for those wishing to play in the Ladies Weekend Championship.  The difficult decision to delay the start of the Weekend Ladies Championship has been made to ensure play opportunities are maximised for both the Ladies and Gents Championships. The Ladies Weekend Championships will now be played on the 10th & 17th April, further details will be released in a separate email.

The Gents Championship time sheets will be locked from noon today to enable play spots to be maximised. The reallocation of times may result in existing bookings being moved. Time changes will be kept to a minimum, and will be completed by Noon Tuesday when the timesheet will be reopened.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, however maximising playing opportunities when the demand is there is a priority.

Kind regards,

Match Committee
