Ladies Day!

The new Bond girl, Pinky Delightful, shows Gerry where to put his stick

 

A special day on the SOS Calendar – Ladies Day, and what a day it was.

Off on their holidays, but turned up anyway

Feeling in the pink

We were subjected to the dreaded pink ball game – a nerve-racking experience every time you were handed the neon coloured sphere, with all your team holding their breath behind you, praying that this would be one drive that you wouldn’t put into the trees.

Shelley hits the first one

All in the pink

Andrea: "Can you make sure you get me in the shot."

But for all that, a lot of fun, a great idea and a huge success. Special thanks to the ladies committee who put the day together – Shelley, Carol, Birgit and Andrea.

Only a real hunk can wear pink and carry it off

At least it wasn't the pink ball

Of course I'm wearing pink - I've just been to Victoria's Secret

Gerry played so well with the pink ball that he has now put in an order for two boxes, so if you find one in the bush you’ll know who to return it to.  

Nailed it!

Everyone made a great effort to be pink – we gather Steph is planning to start a side-hustle putting out the cones on the side of the highway – she’s certainly got the right gear for it.

I've been in better spots than this

And, of course, Steph’s birthday was celebrated last Sunday. You weren’t there?

Just style, boys. Just style.

Mark Macnish celebrated his birthday too last week, on Wednesday.

I've had a few of these today

And Pugsy is looking forward to his this week. We gather the card says 61, but on Tinder it’s been 45 for several years now.

Hooray - I've finally hit one straight

I want to express my thanks to Earle for paying my fine for hitting a slut on the third. (Not that slaggy bird on Married At First Sight, you know what I mean)

Ex-president Brett is away for four weeks. He’s enjoying being out of office.

The prizes today are looking good

And now the novelties:

	Novelty	Hole	Contenders	Winner
	Golden Hole	16		No-one
	NTP	2	Shelley, Andrea	Brett
	NTP in 3	5	Shelley, Mark W	Mark Macnish
	LD  Ladies	9	Nuria, Shelley	Andrea
	NTP in 2	10	Andrea, Goochy	Pugsy
	LD  Men	11	Gerry	Mark W

Today was, of course, a team game. On each hole, the player with the pink ball scored the points, plus the score of the highest other player. So – an awesome responsibility with the pink ball in hand, and a minimum of four holes for each player to play with pinkie.

	Team	Score
	Gerry Nuria Colin Shelley	63
	Carol Keith Glenn K Lynne	70
	Mark W Earle Brett Birgit	75
	Frances Peter Michael Mark Macnish	76
	Tony Barry Greg Stephanie	78
	Andrea Mark Smith Andrew Derek	82

Yes. We won.

Guess what? I've got pink balls.

Next week - the first round of the SOS Club Championship. The game is maximum stroke, remember the rule – maximum of 10 strokes on pars 4 & 5, maximum of 7 on a par 3. Just pick up if you’re really in trouble, and take the maximum.

Pinky Delightful again
