Another magnificent spring day at Royal Wembley to determine the winner of the SOS Cup won so convincingly last year by Barry Treak ! The Stroke Competition was played on the Tuart Course.
 |
| Barry has held the SOS Cup for a year! |
While 21 players lined up for Round 2, only 12 had a chance of winning the cup by competing in both rounds.
The 9 other players included former member Ivar Holm, who is normally seen playing at the Yokine Golf Club, and Chloe Bedlow who was enjoying her 3rd game with SOS.

| One current and two past presidents exchange views as Brett marks up his ball. |
 |
| Stephanie, Shelley Y and Shelly S ready to tee off. |
 |
| TJ ponders his chances of a 'come from behind' win! |
 |
| Birgit decided to take a break from golf after scoring a net 94 last week. The pool and the company of her dogs was a more appealing option! ! |
MGI remote controlled buggy goes missing!
 |
| Barry, Gerry and Brett start searching the rough between the 10th green & 9th fairway |
 |
| They even start searching the 9th fairway only to be told there had been no sightings of an orphan buggy without player on the 9th! |
A drone would have been useful to search for the rouge equipment, however the buggy was eventually found to have taken a bee line for the 11th tee, climbed the slope, across the teeing area and got wedged in the trees on the downslope toward the road!! Gerry was thankful there were no water hazards in the vicinity!
 |
| It could have been worse !! |
 |
| Gerry celebrates his 'fork' shot! |
The President's Message
 |
| Brett included a few remarks on the frailties of remote control technology combined with golf! |

Captains Corner
To assist members in adhering to current rules the Club Captain, Gerry Tessier, has provided the following details which became effective from 1 January 2019:
Noticeably absent is a time limit for searching for lost remote controlled buggies!
Next Week
The calendar informs us that a game of Stableford is being played on the Tuart Course however, this has been replaced by the first of a two round competition for the initial Benkerr Cups - see below.
The Benkerr Cup
The following details are provided by Gerry Tessier, SOS Club Captain, to explain the origin of the Benkerr Cup and the rules by which it will be played on 16 and 23 October :
1.
BENKERR CUP is a new competition and
named in honour of Greg Bennett and
Colin Kerr, our most senior members whose
membership goes back to the initial formation of SOS Golf Group.
2. The competition is Ryder Cup style - Australia vs The Rest
of the World.
3. Brett is the Captain
of the Australian Team. Assistant Captain to be confirmed.
4. Gerry is the Captain of THE RED MACHINE (Rest of the World). Derek is Assistant Captain.
5. The event is played over two consecutive Saturdays - Competition
dates are 16 October (2BBB on the Tuart
Course) and 23 October (American
Foursome on the Old Course).
6. The 2BBB (Better/
Best Ball) tournament involves a Team of 2. Each team member plays their own
ball throughout the round, and after each hole report the best score and
Stableford points which is registered as the official score for the team.
Example on ROW team Derek and Gerry are on the same team - Derek played 6 on
par 5 for 2 Stableford points and Gerry played 7 for 1 point. The official
score on the card must read 6 strokes & 2 points.
It is important to report the score correctly in case of equal scores.
7. The AMERICAN FOURSOME
format also involves 2 players where both drive their own ball off the tee,
then switch to play their partners ball for the second stroke. After 2 strokes
the team decides the best ball to continue play, with the two players taking alternative
stokes until the ball is holed. ie Gerry will hit the tee ball of Derek, and
Derek will hit the tee ball of Gerry; Gerry and Derek then decide which ball is
best placed and take alternative strokes until the ball is holed.
Scoring
is based on Stroke Play.
8. We probably do not have an even number of players for each
team, so the Captain will manage to balance it for the score of the competition.
Everyone who wants to play will play!
9. The same team of two will remain for each competition.
10. The prize will be for the best 3 teams of the 2 competitions.
11. There will be a Sausage sizzle after the second competition
at Perry Lake.
12. We encourage everyone who will join to have something to
represent your team.
13. The Australian Team will also have the privilege to wear an
official SOS shirt.
14. ROW - our Team name is The Red Machine - if you have something Red,
shirt, hat, pants :) and also we encourage something from your origin country,
small Flag etc.
15. We hope everything will be ok, and if something happened,
both Captains will discuss and make a decision!
16. Handicaps will be based on that existing on each competition
day.
17. Normal Wembley golf score cards will be used for the
competition.
18. You can print a card for competition to confirm your daily
handicap or use WA Golf apps for your Handicap of the day.
19.
We hope that this new kind of
competition will be a success and everyone will enjoy it. The current official
list of players is shown below with final teams to be advised by end of next
week.
