STABLEFORD




Welcome to the lull - that wonderful period from after Christmas until whenever we decide to get back to serious business. For some of us, of course, that period can last for several months. 


A serious case of the blues??


A good turn out on a very pleasant Saturday afternoon, and some pretty solid scores from most people - a score of 36 doesn't even get you in the top six. 


I try to tell them, it's no good putting the scores down before you've played the hole

Green fees at Wembley have inevitably gone up again - for now, Glen will take $45 each week. This is a slight overpayment, but will be returned to you once the committee decide on how to handle the increase effectively.


We don't want any funny captions on our photo, thank you.

It's that time of year when people think of new year's resolutions, and for many that will be "join a nice friendly club like SOS", so thanks to everyone who took a membership flyer this week. Do try to either give it to a potential recruit, or put it up somewhere that people will see it, like your local supermarket, food court or whatever.




We're planning a golf evening at the Claremont par 3 on Thursday 31st January. There'll be nine holes of golf followed by a meal, with tee-off at around 5:30. Put it in your diaries, details will follow. 


I gather we've been fined for gossiping


Here's one from the archives. 


Peter's so nearly hole in one, back in February


The novelties certainly gave people a run for their money today - the longest drive marker managed to record six names, although Brett's drive to win soared many metres past the next closest contender - a truly huge effort.

Just giving Max some wardrobe guidance

An emphatic win from Brett, who we gather played some pretty flawless golf, with three birdies and two four-pointers off his handicap of twelve.

He's getting harder and harder to beat


Commiserations to Earle, with a very creditable forty points. And many thanks to Thomas for his generous sponsorship - good to see you back playing, too. 



Always a pleasure

Next week, it's the New Year's Cup, a stroke competition on the Tuart. See you there.
