Masters Trophy and Memorial Trophy

Hot, hot, hot, but apparently not as hot as last week. So that was good.

Seven groups completed the gruelling course before retiring to the SOS marquee for well-deserved drinky-poos.

The Stangers entertained Malcolm and Tricia, their kiwi mates,


 and introduced them to the SOS custom of fining all and sundry for imaginary offences whilst quenching an insatiable thirst. All in a good cause.

The president paid up generously after spilling the raffle numbers on the floor,


 and Kerry explained  how she would have won if only she hadn't shot an eight on the final hole.

That's what pressure does to you.


Gary spent the day on standby, waiting for a call to the hospital. Fortunately he wasn't disturbed by any annoying phone calls during his round.

So, first of all, the novelties:
