CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP, FINAL ROUND

The first warm(ish) day of the year, and the round finished in plenty of time to catch up with the AFL grand final.  

Jerry gives it a good whack

A stroke round on the Old Course. No place for the faint-hearted, and the last round of the Club Championship competition. 

Peter runs through a few swing thoughts during the back swing

This is really serious golf, or at least as serious as it ever gets at SOS. 

Yep, we're pretty serious

And it looks like you either had a good round, or a bad round. 

The white one, or the blue one. I don't care.

A big hole in the middle of the field, where you usually sit with an OK round that wasn't anything too spectacular. No, it was either hero or zero today. 

And before you get  carried away and rush down to the range, remember:

Perhaps just keep it simple:

Last week, the boys went fishing. Guess what they caught. 

That's right. Plenty of fish. 

So, how did we all go today?

	PLAYER	SCORE	BIRDIES
	Don	65	7,10
	Glen P	70
	Tony G	72
	Jerry	72
	Frances	72
	Richard O	74
	Colin	74
	Greg	74
	Peter	78
	Vickie	79
	Gary	79
	Glen K	80
	Derek	80
	Barry	81
	Brett	81	4
	Earle	82
	Tony J	85

Congratulations, Don. Five strokes clear at the top of the table. And in the absence of a photo of the winner, here's the runner-up.

Didn't feel like a great game, but the score was OK.

And another strange outcome. To win one of the novelties today your name had to be Glen. 

			DERS	WINNER
	NTP	2	Don, Greg	Glen P
	NTP in 2	9	Brett	Glen P
	NTP in 3	12		Glen K
	LD	15		Glen K
	GOLDEN HOLE		No-one close!

No, I don't know how that works, either. 

Bit grand for SOS? It's just a raffle and the novelties.

And talking of the raffle:

Don't tell Birgit, she'll take it out of my allowance.

Yes, we missed Birgit today, who has a sore foot, but just for her:

A plethora of birthdays. Boris and Frances both celebrated their not very manyth.

Frances completed her first round with us after a longish lay-off, courtesy of the hospital industry, and we were pleased to see Shelley back counting the fines, hoping to be back golfing around Christmas time. 

So who put that 50 Eurocents in? Just because you had to cancel your trip to France
you can't unload all your currency here.

Our hard-working committee put their heads together after the game, to finesse the arrangements for the Annual Dinner. 

The committee meeting

Put it in your diaries, November 21 - that's just a month away. 

Didn't get a birdie, but I got a very nice fish..

And a big thanks to those players who sent in photographs from the day's events. Let's make this a thing - email them into the blogger so that we can all enjoy them. 

Malcolm reunited with his 5-iron, that spent
a couple of happy weeks in my bag.

Thought for the week:

Yeah, but a few, not dozens...

If you recognise this man, please do not phone Crimestoppers. 
He works here.

You will have noticed that the chook raffle was chook-free this week. So,for those of you pining for chooks:
