20.01.2022 The 2019 Cocos Islands Golf Open is off to a cracking start, with nearly 40 golfers (we use this term loosely!) at Scroungers yesterday. We fed the players with tasty beef burgers and had plenty of cool treats on offer. Thanks to the endless work our Committee, and Members put in to make these events happen. See you at The Donga Saturday for the Ambrose event, followed by a free community sausage sizzle and the prelim footy on the TV!

19.01.2022 Scroungers is never boring! We were lucky to have Brad Ness join us yesterday, and he proved his sporting skills are not only for the basketball court. He nailed his last putt to clinch the win for the Gun Team!

18.01.2022 Cocos Islands Golf Open - Sunday Open 18 hole stroke results Sunday’s Cocos Open was held in what were typically Cocos challenging weather and organisational conditions. The weather was windy, with occasional rain squalls blowing though to increase the wind factor and with an occasional a complete lull after the squalls. We had a private plane landing in the middle of the round to refuel, with the game organised around the landing and takeoff and with a couple of players ...having to take a break from their game to attend to the plane. Suggestions that Steve may have sniffed too much fuel as he was refuelling the plane are considered totalling scurrilous. Notwithstanding these issues it was pleasing to see a large portion of the field playing some great golf with 70% of the players with a score better than Net 70. In the end there could only be one winner and this year’s Cocos Open Champion is one of our newer (and youngest) players in Flynn with a net score of 64. He was followed on 66 Bill on a count back from Rohan. Rohan also took out the Best Gross with an 80 off the stick. With lots of prizes to be had, Kel was fourth and best woman with a 67, followed by Taaffe with 68. The novelty prizes were as follows : Hole 1 /10 Nearest to the Pin - no winner as no one stayed on the green. Hole 2/8/11/17 Longest Putt - Flynn Hole 3/12 Best Third - Rohan Hole 4/13 Best Second - Bill Hole 5/14 Nearest to the Pin - Bill Hole 6/15 Best Second - Flynn Hole 7/16 Best Third - Rohan Long Drive Men - Steve Long Drive Women - Anna The commonality in names between the top three players and the novelty prizes perhaps gives an indication of why they did so well. A great day of golf was followed by our presentation dinner at the Donga in the evening. Thanks to Neale, Andrea, Tash and Paul for providing some great food and to Nori for her amazing sweets. Again the Golf Club can't thank Natasha Griggs, Administrator Christmas and Cocos Keeling Islandsfor her support of our 2019 Cocos Islands Golf Open!

18.01.2022 SATURDAY 3 person Ambrose Results: A Saturday of fantastic weather saw 36 golfers in 12 teams line up across the course for a shot gun start (if it doesn’t scare the birds it sure made a few golfers jump) to a fun day of Ambrose Golf. Winners on the day were the Gilmore Happy Chicks, with minor placings going to The James Jaunty Jousters and Hasta la Viva. A special mention should go to the I Like Big Putts & I Cannot Lie team, who may not have scored quite as well as the o...ther teams, but were certainly the best dressed. The following novelties were shared around between golfers of all levels of experience : Nearest to the Pin on 10 - Penne Martain Longest Putt on 11 / 17 - Natasha Griggs Best Third on 12 - Cat McCartney Best Second on 13 - Rohan Dyall Nearest to the Pin on 14 - Kel Edwards Best Second on 15 - Denise Blobel Long Drive - Men - Rohan Dyall Long Drive - Women - Kylie James The game was followed by a Community Sausage Sizzle with a fantastic turn out with an estimated 80 odd people enjoying the food, drinks and the football on the big screen (even managed to have a close match). A special thanks to all on and off the golf club committee and members who helped out with the organising and getting the golf course in great condition (special mention to Andy for stepping in to cook sausages on short notice) and our sponsor Natasha Griggs, Administrator Christmas and Cocos Keeling Islands
