Club Championship, Round 7

Going to take more than a few drops of rain to dampen our spirits
Round 7, no less.

I feel a good round coming on
Demountables up and gone
It seems some have already fallen by the wayside, but as we know:

"Many are called, but few are chosen."

Well, the plucky few lined up, not having been intimidated by the Bureau of Meteorology's dire warnings of

"heavy showers, high chance of thunderstorms in the morning and afternoon"

which translates as "don't even think of playing golf today"

but we did. And it wasn't really that bad. A few wet holes, one really heavy blustery shower for which we all cowered under our umbrellas and I pretended it wasn't my turn to play.

And it meant we could tee off nice and early, as no-one else had turned up to play before us, and we pretty much had the course to ourselves, and plenty of room in the car park.
Rain or shine, I'm prepared


As they say. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good".
I knew I should have hit a provisional..

Birthdays to Earle and Bernie.

Yep, I'm the birthday boy..
...and just look at my new swing.
Stop Press: Annual dinner will be on November 12th, not as previously advertised two weeks later. Reason is the venue will not be available later.

Our guest, Greg, turned in a very creditable 65. Very tidy round, Greg.


No, not that Greg..
And here are the novelties:

And finally, the last round of the Club Championship 
Nothing that a good pie won't fix

Saving my best game for later in the season
Well, you get a second serve in tennis, so why not?

Fantastic round, Colin. Congratulations.

Our very own "Gang of Four"
Best chip of the day
Stan attempts to buy all the raffle numbers
The competition counts your best five results, so if you've played all seven rounds, you can discard your two poorest scores. The winner will be announced at the Annual Dinner. 

Many thanks to Ian for his generous sponsorship of today's event. 






Don't tell Fran I won the raffle
