Stableford on Tuart plus Lot Six Zero Sunday breakfast

Finally a bit of cooler weather with the temperature in the mid 20°'s, a fair bit of cloud cover and no breeze to speak of.  Perfect weather for a game of stress free stableford on the Tuart Course; with 19 members and guest, Trevor Harris, making up the field of 5 groups.

Indeed, the day provided an opportunity for members to sharpen their game ahead of next week's 1st Round of the Club Match Play competition !

Paul C, Glen P and Naria getting ready


Here is Frances teeing off at the par 3, 3rd hole.

Moments before, Boris' tee shot only just reached the white tee markers, in fact it was so close it took some time for Frances and Boris to decide whether or not it constituted a 's#ut'! 

Deliberations in progress!

You be the judge!





A little later, Puggy was showing his awsome form on the 8th hole when his second stroke nearly holed out, only to backspin about 3 meters, far enough to make the birdie attempt unsucessful!


Very nearly an Eagle!

Ohhhh! The Backspin #$%^&!


SOS President Tony Gooch opened the post match meeting and noted there were no birthdays to celebrate this week!

Tony reminded everyone of the breakfast planned for tomorrow morning at the Lot Six Zero eatery , Innaloo.  A great opportunity to enjoy good food and company and thank Glen and Linsey Pope for their sponsor support of SOS over many years.

The change in banking arrangements from ANZ to Westpac has been completed so, if you have not already done so, please delete your ANZ direct debit details from your on-line systems and replace them with the Westpac details - see below:



Stableford Results

SOS Captain, Andrea Williams, announced the most honest player award went to Vickie for scoring 21 points, thereby winning the packet of lollies and the honour of calling out the list of fines.


Andrea reads out the competition results.


However, Glen 'Pug Dog' Kelly, in a majestic display of golfing finesse, scored twice as much as Vicki, and a full 6 points ahead of 2nd placed Bernie with 36 points. Frances beat Shelley in a tie break for 3rd place, one point behind on 35 points.

Club Championship - Round 1

A total of 26 members and one guest, Jonathon, lined up for the 1st of 7 Club Championship rounds; the last round being played on 24 August.

The stroke competition was sure to result in many low scores with a much welcomed 9.00 am start combined with sublime weather comditions - warm temperatures, light breeze and cloudless skies !

Hot chips a-plenty as the post game meeting gets underway.


SOS President Tony Gooch welcomed all present and congratulated Glenn 'Pug Dog' Kelly who celebrates his 62nd birthday today!  Birthday celebrations also for Shelley on Tuesday, as well as Gemma and Maureen, both on Thursday!

Tony reminded everyone that a SOS Breakfast has been organised at Lot Six Zero, Innaloo, on Sunday next week, 28 April, commencing at 8.30 am.
Glen Pope has been a great supporter of SOS over the years and it would be great to see everyone there to enjoy the good food and company!
Those wishing to attend should notify me so numbers can be firmed up.
 
President Tony Gooch addresses the meeting.

Tony observed there were a large number of trophies on the tables and thanked Andrea for organising for them to be engraved with the names of recent winners.

Thanks were offered to almost everyone for paying their booking fees into the new Westpac Bookings account. The changeover from ANZ to Westpac has gone smoothly and the ANZ accounts will be closed this coming week.

Tony noted next week's stableford competition will be held on the Tuart Course with a start time of 9.08am.


Club Championship - Round 1 Results

The SOS Captain, Andrea, announced
 the competition results


Andrea read out the results and announced Maureen as the winner with a splendid net 69.

Four strokes further back, Mark Wilson came 2nd with a net sore of 73, while Gerry Tessier scored 74 in 3rd place!

Really not a very good result with only Maureen, who's score included 8 pars birdies, scoring below their handicap!




The Podium
2nd place to Mark Wilson (R) and 3rd to Gerry Tessier (L)
 Winner Maureen unavailable for photo.



SOS Captain Andrea Williams announces the 4 Novelty prizes; seen above presenting Barry with a $5 Wembley gift card. Why Barry?

The womens longest drive on hole 10 was claimed by Lynley, before Shelley did better!

NTP  on the 6th hole had Popey's name, followed by Lynley, then Shelley!

NTP in 2 on the 15th was won by Mark W who outplayed Gary.

The men's longest drive on the 3rd hole was a bit confusing as Gary claimed the initial post followed by 'Vickie by a mile' and then 'Snowy (Jonathon)'.  In the above photo perhaps Barry is claiming the prize on behalf of guest Jonathon!

There were no Eagles today and only 3 birdies recorded:

Goochy on the 17th
Paul B also on the 17th and
Lynley on the 4th.

The Golden Hole on the 16th, worth just $26, went unclaimed notwithstanding Earle's protestations that his ball was close enough. However, after re-measurement, the ball was deemed to be at least 5mm too far from the hole!


Ash Tray Collection

Lynley collected the donations as Stephanie read out the list of fines, raising a grand total of $25.70 !

Stephanie can almost recite the fines list from memory!

Lynley helps Stephanie interpret the meaning a 'Doing a Stephie"?

Surely sacrilige as Peter uses his 'New Years Trophy' as a water bottle holder!! However, Peter pleaded clemency as the bottle had been dropped too many times and would no longer stand upright without support!

Earle's hand holding coins for the Ash Tray !

Barry reluctabtly making a donation as Lynley
 holds out the collection bucket!

The Raffle 1st draw was won by Paul G who received an IOU for a Lot Six Zero $20 gift voucher.
Disk No. 1 was drawn for the 2nd week in a row, earning Peter a $5 Wembley gift card.

Paul G with his IOU!
