Despite coldish weather conditions and a long Easter weekend 24 players
found their way to Wembley to play for the Easter Cup.
BEFORE THE GAME
 |
| As always Lynley & Lynne dressed for the occasion, with a sinister Boris marking his ball, |
 |
| Birgit & Shelley not looking bad either |
 |
| A crowd (Harold, Sandra, Gerry, and Michael) gathers around Greg & Colin's cart |
 |
| a quick Birgit & Andrea selfie before the 1st group tees off |
 |
| while the average player warms up with 20 driver shots & a max of 4 puts |
ON THE FAIRWAYS & GREENS
 |
| Someone got the golden hole, but who is congratulating whom? |
 |
| YESS, Earle got his shot 144 cm from the hole and birdied it |
 |
| Well, you cannot be lucky all the time, this drive on hole # 6 was far away from the green and resulted in zero pts |
 |
| Carol & Shelley keep their distance, yep flu season is about to start. |
 |
| One of Shelley's shots on #15, cozily nested in a bed of leaves (it's Easter right?) |
 |
| Whacking it out, the hole was lost though. |
 |
| another unlucky shot on hole 15, Lynley chipping it out (photo courtesy of Lynne, THANKS!) |
THE RESULTS
Carol is on a roll and won the cup with an impressive score of 39 points, we might
want to analyze this"orange pekoe" tea she's drinking during the game.
Keith, any insight?
Congratulation especially to Greg & Gemma for winning the longest drives.
Due to our late tee time, we couldn't occupy our usual spot in the clubhouse and had to sit outside.
Note to myself & others: bring a jacket or jumper.

LADIES CORNER
We introduce "PINK PASSION" as next week's competition.
We play Stableford in teams of 3 or 4.
- Print the white scorecard for your individual stableford score and grab a team scorecard.
- Each team gets a pink ball which has to be played by one player on each hole for the entire hole.
- The pink ball score & the best score has to be added to create the team score per hole.
- In case the pink ball is the best score the pink and the next best score counts.
- Each player needs to play pink a minimum of 4x, but there is no fixed sequence of playing.
- In case you lose the pink ball the team has to nominate another ball as the pink ball.
- The fine for losing the pink ball is $5.
Everybody is encouraged to wear pink, no matter what (a scarf, a shirt, pants, socks or just a pink ribbon)
There will be prizes for the winning team and as well a surprise prize for the best player.
