Residents Tee Off at Seachange Masters Golf Championship

by

SEACHANGE Village Arundel residents enjoyed a fun, social day out on the green at the second annual Seachange Masters Golf Championship at the start of the month.

We had a fantastic turn out for the day, with 10 teams of four people participating in the Ambrose style competition at the Arundel Hills Golf Club on June 1.

The rules were simple: all players in the team teed off, the best shot was selected and all team players had to hit again from that same spot. The best second shot was then selected, with all players hitting from that same spot. This continued until the ball was holed.

All teams were selected by handicaps for a fair competition.

At the end of the day, the winning team, comprising of Jenny Parmenter, Judy Smith, Steve Fowler and Phil Goodman, won a perpetual trophy for its efforts.

Winning team member Jenny said it was a great social day of golf.

“Obviously winners are grinners, but everyone had fun as well,” she said.

“We all played very well as a team that day but on the last shot Judy chipped off the green and it just kept going and going and then it went in. It was quite a long putt! I would love to participate again even if I’m not on a winning team.”

The team thanked Seachange Village Arundel for its sponsorship of the annual event.

Wheels in Motion

Wind blowing in their hair, zipping along streets and paths, the latest members of Seachange Emerald Lakes’s golf buggy gang test out their new rides.

The gated over 50’s community, beside Emerald Lakes golf club, is one of the first buggy friendly retirement communities in Queensland.

New residents were recently given the keys to a free buggy and golf club membership, and the novel vehicles have become a way of life.

Pradella chief executive Phil Goodman said the comfortable, clean-energy buggies had helped residents get to know each other.

“The buggy is a much more social animal,” he said. “Everyone stops and talks to you; it is much more sedate. That just doesn’t happen in a car.”

“It not only allows everyone to have an identity, they know they are from Seachange Emerald Lakes, but it also allows them to start a conversation outside the community.”

The first batch of buggies were all the same, but Mr Goodman said residents were already keen to get their hands on upgrades to personalise their vehicles.

“The biggest thing we found is people have always craved one,” he said.

“They see it as being part of this premium community, and when they are given one it;s the best thing. The response has blown me away.”

Mr Goodman said within the Seachange community, buggies could be driven on roads and paths, as well as over the bridge.

Homes and shops have buggy parking, and a planned Woolworths has incorporated buggy parking into its design.

Resident David Sylow said the golf buggies were a fun, social way to get some fresh air and meet up with friends and neighbours.

On completion Seachange Emerald Lakes will have 126 homes in a country club estate featuring an indoor pool, cinema gym and lake. The local area has 13km of walking/bike tracks, shops and restaurants.

It is five minutes drive from Nerang rail link and 10 minutes drive to beaches.
