COOROY GOLF
Once again Cooroy Golf Club women held their annual Tee Off for breast cancer research.
The day was sponsored by Noosa River and Canal Cruises who also provided the club with an evening cruise where all proceeds from the sale of tickets go to breast cancer research.
The club is very fortunate to have among their members, a former member of the Australian National Women’s Cricket Team from 1968 to 1976 in Patsy Fayne (nee May).
Patsy gave an extremely entertaining account of the joys and pitfalls of being a woman competing in a sport which was considered to be the domain of males.
The Australian Cricket Association – of which she is a member – very generously donated $500 to the cause.
Thanks to the generosity of women members, the small Cooroy Golf Club was able to raise $716 on the day with another $630 coming in from the cruise.
