Spring was definitely in the air as 19 SOS members and one guest, Mitchell Smith, got ready for a 7.15 am start on the Tuart Course. Light winds and mostly blue skies provided favourable conditions for scoring those elusive positive scores!

On the Fairways
 |
| Mark's 2nd shot on the 8th hole travelled a lot longer that his first! |
Birthdays
Club Captain Gerry Tessier noted that Peter Baird was celebrating his 49th birthday today!
The Results
Only 12 strokes separated 1st from last and Mark Wilson's forgettable round landed him with the bag of lollies with a score of -8. Such is the result from two golf lessons during the week! Seems that Mark played better before the lessons. |
| Mark Wilson wins the lollies |
However, all podium places were filled by those with positive scores and congratulations to Earle Scarff who won by a 3 point margin with +4 followed by Tony Gooch, Mark Hill and Peter Baird all on +1. Peter came 4th in the countback!
