SOS Golf: Stableford Comp on the Old Course

Sponsored by the good ol' SOS, you beauty!

A small field hit the course as a few members heard about the heat predicted and headed to the coast to dip in the sea and cool off rather than face the rather tepid day as the temperature reached a balmy 38.

Some of the Stalwarts did brave the heat, and despite the initial trepidation the scores were pretty bloody good.

The weather didn't put off the 'Return of the Denim' as the keen traveller Colin made a very welcome return and showed us his sartorial elegance

There was also a welcome back to Tomothy, with his first round back after the festivities,,,,, and a second round from Paul,,, please feel free to ask about his interesting invitation to the SOS from Gordo, it should bring a cheeky smile to your face.

Some were looking particularly confident and the mood was positive,,,,,

how that was to change!

Both of them were looking especially 'FIRM' at the beginning,,,,,, eh Phil?

Some however faired better than others,,,,, Grandpa and Grandma aka Phil &

Kerry decided that the heat was tooooooooo much, and got Glenn to call for a cart halfway round as they visibly wilted!

So on with the scores,,,,,,

Guest: Paul King 99 gross – 2^nd card

NB:- Kingy-- had a bit of a mixed round as 'allegedly' he hit 14 greens in regulation but just couldn't sink a putt.
A word to the wise Kingy, don't learn to putt until you get your handicap sorted! Heheheheee

NB:- Ron-- after our round he re-named himself RC (pronounced AR*SY) as his luck with the foliage was absolutely extra-ordinary, queue the skinnied rebound on the 4th that was heading towards the road and ended up 15ft from the pin!

Golden Hole
The cheeky sum of $100 is up fro grabs on the next round as it didn't really go close to going off!
Woo hoo.

Fines of the Week
Vickie -- for dropping her balls down the toilet,,,, especially as we could hear them bouncing around from the tee,,
hehehehehee

Ron -- shouldn't really be a fine, as it was an awesome idea but for us all to get naked and jump around the sprinklers to cool off!

Next Week

Is the Australia Day Cup, a stableford competition won last year by Gim
so let's have a good turn out as it's guaranteed to be cooler,,,,

plus it will be followed by the infamous sausage sizzle down at the usual place where the announcements and raffle will take place,

So come down and enjoy!!!!
