Coolangatta Tweed Heads Week of Golf <\/strong>
\n4th to 8th August 2025<\/strong>
\nCoolangatta Tweed Week of Golf is traditionally one of the most popular events on the NSWVGA Calendar. This year was no exception with 205 nominations received although a couple of late withdrawals reduced the field to 200 players. 69 Clubs were represented.
\nThe Registration\/Welcome Function<\/strong> was held at the club on a cold, wet and windy afternoon with only 12 players not attending. The event was extremely well run with the committee assisting the NSWVGA Rep in identifying the 80 non-financial players and directing them to the appropriate table to confirm and or complete payment of NSWVGA affiliation fees.
\nAt the event the CTHGC Veterans President, and past Tournament Director, Grant Evans assured everyone that over the 20 plus years of the event that very few days had been lost to rain, and indicating he was hopeful this year would not affect that record. This proved to be the case with only 20 minutes or so of showers across the Friday morning and afternoon.
\nFreshly minted Tournament Director, Garry (Tugga) Waugh welcomed players and outlined local rules, confirmed to order of events on the program, arrangements for collecting golf carts and the fact that a starter would be present at the nominated starting tee with participants cards should they elect not to use the MiScore app.
\nHot finger food was provided in a self-serve style from a Bain Marie setup. The food was plentiful, and function was well received by participants.
\nNSWVGA Shield event<\/strong> was held on the Monday on the West course.
\nLadies Shield Winner<\/strong> was Sari McDonald with 37 pts,<\/p>\n

\nI do not propose to list all Nearest the Pin winners but one of note was a Hole in One<\/strong> on the 10th Hole on the River Course on Tuesday by Don McKinnon. Don was very accurate with his short irons on the day as he was 2 inches off a repeat on the 3rd Hole on the same day.
\nThroughout the week a veritable army of spotters and Bunker attendants supported players.
\nThursday evening presentation<\/strong> well patronised with just over 180 attendees. Garry Waugh has ideal personality for Tournament Director role and kept crowd engaged whilst keeping the presentation from getting bogged down. As can be seen an extensive list of winners on the night. Meal consisted of Alternate drop Chicken and Beef, both tender and moist. Dessert was alternative drop Pecan Pie and Cheesecake. Generous helpings, excellent quality and served in a timely and efficient manner. Participant feedback very positive.
