A damn hot day saw the SOS embark on the Diggers Trophy, with a full field on the Tuart,,,,
It was complimented by the return of the Terrible Twins, Dave Williamson and a fully recovered Ian Holmes!
Welcome back fellas we've missed you.
Did i mention it was a little bit tepid?
Plus we had a visit from our Brisbane friends with a fleeting visit by Mike & Christine,, sorry i missed ya, but i'm informed you a lovely meal at Shanghai Tea Garden.
Plus did i mention it was a bit warm???
As you can probably tell my distinct lack of detail, and amusing anecdotes, i wasn't playing,
Unfortunately i had to 'cash in' and old Ashes Bet where i was to be treated to a day at the cricket.
I was picked up in the morning by Weary, treated to brekky at his then whisked off to the WACA where we hit the marvellous air conditioning of the Members Bar!
Phew it was hot!
Out of all the days play, we stuck it outside for 30 mins (except for catching up with an old house mate, Alison and friend),,,, before once again retiring to the cold beer and beautiful aircon.
Mmmmmm cold beer!
Results
Apologies guys and gals but i didn't get a full read on the game at hand, except to hear that a great score won!
WELL DONE Mr Peter Baird for your marvellous victory!
Peter's prizes
Unveiling of the new Trophy
Proud sponsor and prouder winner
Has anybody spotted the deliberate mistake?
Last and by no means least was Warrior Williamson
Welcome back indeed.
Lolly Warrior Williamson
I've no real idea what happened imbetween, but i'm sure you're cracking imaginations can help to fill in the blanks!
Golden Hole
At lasst she went off, and what a gracious winner i'm told with Charmaine taking home the bacon, $119 and Roland -tho he did try to steal the money! Hehehehe ze German strikes back!
Nice work Char, and i hope it went towards a nice bottle of fizzy.
I won Roland, not you!
The only downside of successive victories on the Golden Hole is that both pots stand at ZERO!!!!!
Fines of the Week
The curator of the WACA for such a benign pitch.
Thanks to Shelley for her warfare analogies in the reading of the fines,,,
Anybody who drove a Tank (otherwise known as a Golf Cart) should've been fined double for cheating against adversity!

A more full explanation will happen on the night!
