A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS McCOURT
To everyone at Keperra Golf Club, friends and family I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your help, kindness and support.
It has certainly been a shock to go from being out on the golf course one day to being in hospital the next. I am now getting the treatment I need and staying positive.
I first started playing golf at Keperra 44 years ago, and the club has become such an important part of my life. It has never felt like a workplace to me, it is a place I genuinely love. Even after driving through the traffic to get there, a sense of calm comes over me as soon as I arrive at the golf club. Keperra truly is my second home.
Over the years, teaching golf to people of all ages and abilities, juniors, women, seniors and everyone in between has brought me an enormous amount of joy. Seeing people learn the game, improve and develop their own love of golf is something I have always been passionate about. I have also treasured the occasional seniors’ comp and, most of all, the many rounds playing with family and friends.
After my treatment is over (and they give me back my driver’s licence) I hope to continue teaching, playing and being part of Keperra for many years to come.
From both Robyn and myself, thank you again for every message, every offer of help and all the support you have shown us. It has meant more to us than I can put into words.
I look forward to seeing you all back at my second home soon.
Kind regards
Chris McCourt
