To celebrate Gerrod’s final days of bachelorhood, I spent the weekend with a group of him and his mates at the Hyatt Regency Resort at Coolum. Located north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, the Hyatt Regency is an extravagent retreat where the Australian PGA Championship is hosted every year. His brother Jason (who is conveniently an events organisater by trade) planned a weekend that included a day of unlimited golf, over night accomodation and breakfast.

We hired golf carts for the day and split off into groups of four to play golf, ambrose style. I spent the day driving around the 18 holes with Gerrod’s brother Jason, Steve and Jacob. The course was not busy at all and the overcast weather was a welcome relief considering the couple of days before had been extremely hot. It’s a very well laid out course and feels miles away from any sort of civilisation. Mount Coolum makes for a spectacular backdrop for the golf course and only adds to the natural beauty that surrounds the course. We even caught a family of kangaroos (joeys and all!) resting in the bushes as we drove off to find some mis-hit golf balls.

We spent the rest of the evening in the middle of the Town Village, having fantastic wood-fired pizzas and drinks into the late evening. It was great to see Gerrod having a great time surrounded by all of his good mates!
