Thursday’s charity Pro Am golf event at Glenview brought together players with intellectual disabilities and PGA professionals.
The event course was described as closer to a proper golf compared to the pitch and put style course normally used for PGA par 3 events.
Darrell Dalton said, “Well, the course is in fantastic shape for a little par three.
“I mean, you couldn’t recognise the course from six months ago to what it is today.
“Wade Hooper and the ground staff and all their staff have just made done a wonderful job in preparing the course for today and you only have to look around and the greens, the fairways, just beautiful.
Ground staff had been working on the course for six months to get it to the standard that it was.
PGA state manager for Queensland and Northern Territory Broc Greenhalgh said, “Wade Hooper and the team have done an amazing job to make sure that the golf course is presented in exactly the fashion that the PGA expected and actually exceeded all of our expectations.
“A par three golf course is tough.
“It’s not very easy to shoot low numbers when you’ve always got a mid to high iron in your hand.
“So the score’s being a little higher than maybe what everyone anticipated today is not a big surprise on the basis of the golf course isn’t easy had here at Glenview.
