This year, The Sandgate Cup will be played on Saturday , April 17 and another maximum field

of around 130 players is expected to play on the fast rolling fairways. The Village Taigum has been

our sponsor for several years now and we are very pleased to have them on board again in 2021.

With a score of 45 stableford points, Alan Jeffery and John McNay showed the rest of the field how to handle the course after recent rain.

Sadly, for the tail of the field, the rain returned before all could finish their rounds. This was the only “damper on the day” and the Centenary Opening Day was enjoyed by 103 golfers.

On behalf of Patron, Jared Cassidy and with our Centenary Tree as backdrop, Men’s Captain Allan Head is seen here congratulating Alan and John with their trophies for this honour-board event.

 

 

Ladies’ Captain, Vicki Gannon congratulated Mother and Daughter pairing, Desley Hooper and Maureen Hooper who together eclipsed the Ladies’ field with 40 stableford points.

On this day, Life Members, Joy Black, Kevin Madsen and Lex Hughes planted a tree to commerorate 100 years since the beginnings of  the Sandgate Golf Course.

A native tree, Araucaria cunninghamii commonly known as Queensland Hoop Pine or Moreton Bay Pine was chosen and now proudly sits at the walkway to the first and tenth tees for all to see as they commence their golf at Sandgate. We thank Councillor Jared Cassidy,  MP Minister for Sport  Stirling Hinchliffe, and Catherine Palmer (representing Federal Member for Lilley, Anika Wells) for being present for this occasion.
