A Great Weekend of Golf

   

Since my last report we played on three of the best courses in Australia.  The Golf Guide ranks Club Pelican at #16, Hyatt Regency Coolum at #18 and Twin Waters at #43. Each course was different even though they are just a few kilometres apart. Club Pelican is a very tough course designed by Greg Norman. The Hyatt is a mature, attractive course, groomed very well and designed by Robert Trent Jones. Twin Waters is carved out of Paper Bark trees with lots of birds and wildlife. All three have resorts associated with the courses.

We did take Saturday off for some shopping. We went to the Eumundi Markets.

 They claim to be the biggest and best in Australia. Who am I to dispute that. We also went into Noosa and checked out some of Beth's favorite stores. We had a bite to eat at the Tewantin

 Wharf and watched the ferries come and go. When in Noosa make sure you stop at the Yatch Club and the Surf Club for food and drinks. They both have great views of the water and you can just sit and enjoy all the goings on.

Returning to the golf aspect of this blog I have to show you a few photos of Mt Coolum and the wild life that we see as we play these courses. Mt Coolum is the second largest monolith in Australia. Ayers Rock is the largest one. The variety of birds is outstanding and it is always nice to see a kangaroo or two.
