The forecast rain fortunately fell before dawn leaving a rain free sparkling day to enjoy a round of golf with friends! A very pleasant 21°c, scattered cloud and virtually no wind!
 |
The theme was pink!
Shelley, Roland, Derek & Andrea complied! |
The greens were soft and the fairways smooth! Even the 2nd cut had been recently trimmed allowing better than normal recovery shots.

Lynne & Lynley discuss strategy !

The ladies chose a game of Pink Peril. The game was played on the Old Course with four teams of 4 players. Each team was provided with a pink ball with each members of the team taking turns to play the pink ball. The stableford score of the team member with the pink ball was combined with the best score of the other 3 players to produce an aggregate score for each hole.

SOS is seeing a variety of golf ball logos on the course. Earle used a distinctive ball today!
Is this the way of the future? Will it score better than a clean skin?

Regretably, only one photo was taken of the game in progress - thanks to the blogger.
Remember, there is a competition for the best photo each week - please have your cameras ready and send it to the bloggers email address!

The Mugs Trophy Winner
In any other week a score of 24 would have escaped last place. However, with the narrowest of margins the
Mugs Cup goes to Barry for an underwelming score of 24.
Derek might have been a contender but scored 4 points on hole 18 by sinking a putt from the other side of the green for a par 4.

Ash Tray
Barry (of the Mug's Cup 2026) managed to rattle up $21.40 toward the club's philanthropic war chest, ably assisted by Shelley and Roland.
A reasonable amount from a small gathering.
