OK, now let's have a look at yesterday's game.

It promised to be a chilly, but sunny Saturday morning, and the attire of our club members showed that "layers" were the choice of outfit.

                                                                BEFORE THE GAME

Derek dropped his Motocaddy battery
onto his mandarin lunch snack

Frances apparently is not happy 😉

Lynley & birthday girl Lynne 
rugged up and ready for the "freezing day" ahead

Steph is in early, rumours are that she has
forfaited her space in the last group
to anyone who wants to sleep in.

Goochy is back, and Kristian is our latest
"approved" new member! Welcome 😃

P&P

Earle, one of those true Ozzies...he kept
playing with long sleeves & vest even 
through the later higher temperatures

Oh yess, that will be a great game 🏌🏌🏌

Peter is posing while Shelley does a last-minute
check on the player field

"Come join us for the photo."

Okayyy, Ladies selfie 

Ladies lowest vs Ladies highest HCP
"Never give up" 😂😂😂

Birgit is showing true Central European
spirit. Shorts & short sleeves
"It's not THAT cold, folks!"

Pre-game committee meeting

No, Derek is not meditating; he's watching Fran's 
first tee shot.

DURING THE GAME

Andrea's excellent tee shot on hole #4. 
Despite having her feet in the bunker
she managed to par the hole!

That's one of Kristian's monster tee shots.
The ball landed a couple of metres
short of the 14th green,
but unfortunately resulted in a bogey.

Peter in trouble: Bunker.....

to bunker.....

.....to bunker.

Birgit is hacking her way out of a spot of bother
in golfic terms "a difficult lie".

Shelley: "Hey Birgit, I got him."

"Him?" Earle in a spot of bother

One of Goochy's monster shots.
Instead of trespassing he smashed
his Titleist into a tree.
The tree survived, the ball didn't.

Just a little set-back for Shelley
and not a real challenge.

Derek was spotted on hole #9 searching
for his ball. (view from #10)

Dave: Ready, steady, go!

Rolie as always "best dressed". 
Who else can colour match, cap, shirt, shoes & golf bag?

AFTER THE GAME

Let's start with the NOVELTIES (sorry, forgot to note the hole numbers for the LD's)

Longest Drive Ladies:        Lynley, Maureen, overdriven by FRAN

Longest Drive Men:           Gardy (40 m onto the fairway), Gary, overdriven by COOPS

NP in 3 on # 11:                  Lynne, Derek, Maureen, beaten by PAUL B (so it stays in the family)

NP in 2 on #10:                   Keith beaten by COOPS     

and the BIRDIES

Kristian        1 & 9

Steph            13

Goochy        8

Paul B        1,7, 11, 17

Keith            16

Rolie            2

As we can see when reviewing the results, you don't need birdies to win.

And the winner is:

Andrea with a great score of 38 pts

runner ups: Steph (37 pts) and Coops (35 pts)

We can assume those 4 players on positions 4-7 who lost on count back were counting their missed puts after the results came out.

    

Just a couple of photos from the celebrations at hole #19

Beer, wine, and french fries, commonly known as chips

Guess, who needs a hairdresser!?

A big thank you for the photos: Derek, Shelley, Peter, Kristian and Gerry

           

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS - ROUND 3

 

The forecast for the days play was a little bleak. A certain amount of poetic license has been adopted to illustrate this in the photo above, and this was to come in the small hours of Sunday morning as Cat 1 Cyclonic winds of 120 kph were forecast and arrived. 

However a strong field of  21 players fronted up to play round 3 of the Club Championship and as the weather gathered momentum for the severe storms forecast for later in the day, and night, the rain and stormy conditions held off during play

Our newest member Kristian Brown

Everyone was appropriately dressed for the days cold conditions apart from David who was sporting a sleeveless jacket

We had two guests, Kristian Brown (who scored 86 off the stick, pretty impressive), and who was later, at the presentations approved as a Club Member, and Holly Landers who proved to be a "Dark Horse".

Play got underway at 9.16 on the infamous Tuart course with Boris striking a smiling pose on the first tee, but alas this would not hold, and he endured an agonizing round, probably best forgotten by him but not us.

A recap of some highlights of Boris' round follows. His electric buggy seemingly had a mind of it own or the remote control needed a new set of batteries. On just the second hole his buggy crashed into the bunker, and later on the 10th crashed into Lynne and Lynley's cart followed by much profanity (not from Lynne and Lynley) with Boris refusing to have these incidences photographed so instead we've had to substitute a photo of Paul Boquest's out of control electric buggy that sunk into the deep bunker on the 4th. The photographers (Wayne Bradford) shadow is captured at the bottom of the photo. You can't get away with any embarrassing moment at SOS golf!!! To Paul's credit despite a disappointing 6 on the par 3 eighteenth he hit 79 off the stick. 

To make matters worse for Boris a crow took off with his banana on the 5th and he notched up a "10" for the hole. What a day!!!

Don't you just love them and we have a fine for assaulting the wildlife!!!

Shelly (Houdini) Yeo has seen a window and way out 8th!!!!

We may have have to consider trademarking our name as Goochy discovered the following poster at his local bowling club
