Home News Calendar Handicaps Links

9 October 2009 Cro-Am Social Golf Club has for a number of years enjoyed the free web hosting service provided by Yahoo Geocities. Unfortunately Yahoo Geocites has decided to longer provide this free service to the wider community. As a result this website will no longer be available as of 26 October 2009.

Due to this Cro-Am has been forced to find another service provider preferably that provides web hosting for free. The Cro-Am committee has been aware for a while of the closure of this website and has been actively trying to find another service provider.

The good news is that the Cro-Am committee has been successful and will now be advertising on its new website which is located at:

http://cro-am.yolasite.com/

The new website is up and running now with all the latest news, handicaps, results and much more. So check it out and bookmark it as a favourite for future reference.

In prepartion for Cro-Am's end of year Presentation Zabava to be held at the Croatian Sports Centre, Nerang-Broadbeach Road Cararra QLD 4211 on the 24 November, all 2007 financial members attending Sunday will be issued a Zabava entry ticket.


25 October 2007 It has been brought to the attention of the Cro-Am Committee that rescheduling a Club Championship round one week prior to the original date, has disadvantaged some members who have planned things around the Cro-Am calendar and are now not in a position to attend the rescheduled game.

In order to prevent some unsatisfaction to those few and not disadvantage them in any way, the Cro-Am Committee has decided to allow any player not able to attend the rescheduled game the option to play on the original date of Sunday 28 October 2007.

Any player who decides to take up this option will need to:

? have their card signed by a marker who is a current Cro-Am member;
? find a playing partner (i.e. no single player will be allowed to play a solo round);
? Book a suitable tee time for this day;
? pay any green fees charged by The Colonial Golf Club directly; and
? hand in their card to a Committee Member by 7:00pm, Saturday 3 November.

Please let me stress to all Cro-Am members and visitors that this is only an option and that the rescheduled date of 4th November is the official Cro-Am game date.

Happy Golfing!


19 October 2007 Most of our members are not able to make the next round of Club Championships to be held at "The Colonial" due to religious celebrations. The Committee has had several requests to investigate the possibility of rescheduling the next game. Because of its importance and to the number of members affected, it has been decided by the Committee that the second round of Club Championships be moved to Sunday, 4 November 2007.

I hope that this new date will better suit our members and the community in general. For further details go to the Calendar Page.
