ABOUT THIS IMAGE

TitleThe 'Hen House', Cooroy Golf Club, 28 Myall Street, Cooroy, 1949Additional InformationAll that existed in 1934 was a piece of partly cleared grazing land with interesting topography and a determination in the minds of a few local golfers to have a course of their own.

Cooroy Golf Club was formed at a public meeting on 15th October 1934 attended by thirty eight people. Mal Outridge was elected foundation President, Dr Free Captain, Harry Spring Secretary and F Larkin Treasurer.

At the end of the first year there were 18 Members and 17 Associates. The first rounds were played on a 6-Hole sand green course.

A small timber and iron shed on Myall Street, affectionately dubbed the “Hen House", served as the club house until the late 1950’s.

Officially opened on the King’s Birthday weekend 27th, 28th and 29th June 1936 by Mr MH Walker (MLA) the course began life as a 9-Hole layout with sand greens.Date1949PhotographerBill RobinsonStudioRobinson StudiosImage NoT2006361
