SOS Golf: Austraya Day Cup-- stableford

Sponsored by The Coach.

What a beautiful day for a game of golf!
A great bunch of 'dress ups' turned out to celebrate Austraya Day and to compete for the much-coveted Cup.

Many adorned their carts with The Aussie Flag as well as dressing to the max.

A special mention has to go to Shelley's sparkly dress, but unfortunately I don't have any pics

Whilst others just wore Aussie Hats and sported the Aussie Green & Gold.

The question is, did all this work for the golf scores and did it improve or ruin our games????

,

As mentioned above The Coach was the sponsor, but this will be his last game for a while as he and his new family head back to Vietnam to show of his new addition,,,,,

Good luck mate and see ya in a few weeks!

We also saw the return of Paul The Chippie King (don't worry mate the nickname will get better, but i'm a bit drained and my imagination isn't working to top speed) and his irish mate, Ciaron from Coleraine.

So onwards and upwards with the competition,,,,, tho some did seem a little bit more relaxed than others,,,,

And to cap it all he walked away with the $10 from the raffle.
When it's your day, it's you day!!!! heheheh

Fines of the Week
Most people were pretty well behaved, but there were a couple of notable exceptions:-

Peter-- after seeing others people's flags, he was overheard saying "i would've brought mine, but my cat pissed on it!" hehehehe classic!

Shelley-- owning up to a bit of Club Abuse (not really as her club head came flying off) and nearly won a NTP!!

Austraya Day Sausage Sizzle
It was great to see Rich Yeo down at Bold Park, we all hope the next stage goes well for ya mate, and we see ya throwing your clubs again with SOS soon!

A big thanks goes out to Shelley for providing the Snags & Lamb, which went down an absolute treat.

And for Deeta and Fran who brought the salads,,,,,,,

Plus, it wouldn't be right to mention the thankless work done by our resident chefs Brett & Earl,,,,

hurdy gurdy gurdy, bud bud bud bud

Cheers fellas the Swedish Chef would be proud!

Best Dressed Competition
And the winners,,,,,,,,,, Derek & Fran.

Nice work peeps!

However there was a small objection put in by The Gardners (Kerry mainly) as they were regailed in Aussie Hat, Aussie Shirt, Aussie Flag on the golf buggies, Aussie Shorts.

Captain Earl had to be brought in to explain and make an important judgement, stating that you could only win if you were indeed a dinky di Aussie,,, so once again i was disqualified heheh
