Coaching

Coaching is good for you!

Are you thinking about playing bowls, just starting out or an experienced player wanting to improve?  Then our experienced coaches have programs tailored to meet your needs, irrespective of age, experience, or level.

If you are relatively new to our game get started the right way, don’t allow basic faults to become habits that are then hard to break – coaching is the answer.

If you’ve been around for a while, consider this. Would you drive your car for ten years without servicing it and ensuring it is roadworthy?  Would you go ten years without seeing a Doctor for a check up? Coaching has similar benefits – it may simply be to check and review techniques and ensure that no bad habits have crept in. The improvement may be as small as 1% but you will be rewarded when you pull off that one in a hundred shot that makes the game so worthwhile.

Barefoot Bowls

In recent years the popularity of using our bowls greens for enjoyment and celebration has exploded.

Barefoot bowls is a fun pastime where groups of all ages can enjoy the thrill of  ‘rolling a bowl’  on our beautiful grass greens.

Combine the bowls with some delicious finger food or a sit down meal in the restaurant.

Greens and resources

Club Maroochy is fortunate to have three (3) grass greens; tenderly cared for by our professional greenkeeper Richard Scott.

Richard had the courage and tenacity to take on a tremendous challenge when our greens were ‘not’ what we desired and others before him had failed to overcome the problems.

Problems with greens will never go away, however, we have every confidence that Richard will provide Club Maroochy with greens that rank among the “best” on the Sunshine Coast.

Our greens are backed up by resources that allow us to host District, State and National events.
