For the 2nd week, the weather forecast turned out to be less dire than predicted! While there was any number of local showers, none fell on the SOS players as, instead, they battled against very strong winds!!
The 3rd qualifying round of the Match Play competition was held on the Tuart Course with only 13 members and one guest, Zac Naake, prepared to play in the forecast conditions!

Greens & Fairways (& the occasional bunker)
Apparently the wind gusts were strong and frequent, making play hazardous, particularly for the long hitters.
However the blogger, who was recovering at home from the flu, received very little information on the course of play and presumed chaos caused by the conditions!
Presidents Address
SOS President, Brett Fordham, formally opened the post match meeting; probably looking confident and having just defeated the out of form Tony James!
There were no members birthdays during the current or following week!
Andrea was lauded for being the only female SOS member to make it to the 3rd round of the Match Play competition! What happened to the many others?!
The Results
SOS Captain, Gerry Tessier, announced the results of the 3rd round of the Match Play competition which had been hard fought in the adverse conditions!

No winner today! With all the wind about you would have assumed Raffety's Rules would have managed to get at least one miss-directed ball close to the flag!
