The quality of golf might not have been quite up to US Masters standard, but the level of fun was certainly much higher.
A full field of golfers – complete with an octet of nuns resplendent in their habits – turned out for the annual Courses on Course merriment at Noosa Springs on Thursday 17 May.
The fun round of golf mark the start of the Noosa Food and Wine Festival – one of the region’s iconic events.
And, in true festival spirit, delicious food and wine was on offer at each of the nine holes.
Some of the most enthusiastic imbibers were the nuns – eight fun-loving ladies gathered together by former Noosa Springs staffer Penelope Lena, who had travelled from throughout Queensland for the event. One even flew in from Sydney.
Such was their level of concentration – and, perhaps, the length of their stops at the food and wine marquees – that they took more than four hours to complete the nine holes.
But nobody minded, and everybody declared Courses on Course to be another resounding cultural success.
