Club Championship Round 7

A perfect Spring day for the last of the 7 rounds for the Club Championship competition! The sun shone, the air warm and the occasional alluring smell of wild flowers filled the air

A total of 25 SOS members and two guests, Nuria Smith and Mark Macnish, made an early (7.54am) start on the Tuart Course.

Presidents Address

Club President Brett Fordham opened the meeting and welcomed visitors Nuria Smith and Mark Macnish who participated in the round of golf.

No birthdays were celebrated by members this week!

Brett reminded members that the Country Cup will be held next Sunday at the Araluen Golf Resort.  Members and guests that have not yet paid or have not yet confirmed their booking should do so immediately by contacting SOS Vice Captain, Tony Gooch.

The outdoor setting and loads of free hot chips provided
 welcome relief after the game!

The Golden Hole

There were 2 Golden Holes during the golf round. The first was on the 6th hole which was capped at $150.  No-one managed to win, but Peter managed to get to within about 10cm!

The second golden Hole was on the 18th and was won by Earle Scarff however, as the pot was in its 1st round, the prize pool was only around $20.

Eagles & Birdies

No Eagles today, but a near record 12 birdies were scored by 7 players.

A great result from these seasoned players!!

Ash Tray Collection

Derek agreed to call out the fines on behalf of Gerry and did a splendid job!  Players atoned for their poor play, watered balls, poor sportsmanship etc. which added to the pool of funds SOS uses to fund its philanthropic endeavours!  

Gerry scored lowest and accepts the bag of lollies

Derek calls which Shelley and Brett collect the donations.


Raffle

Puggy rolls the balls and calls the numbers. 

And the Raffle winner is Frances who receives a $20 gift voucher from sponsor, Lot Six Zero!!!


 

Next Week

The Annual Country Cup competition will be played at the Araluen Golf Resort - it will require an early start, so make sure you read the instructions which will be released by the Country Club organiser, Tony Gooch, later in the week.
