SOS versus Westerners

Gosh, it was almost wintery - by the end drops of water were beginning to fall from the sky. We gather it's called rain.

The vision-impaired Westerners took on SOS, and gave our best team a fair trouncing - final score was Westerners 144pts to SOS 120pts, with John White picking up a remarkable 42pts to put Westerners well in front.

Westerners were most appreciative of the support from SOS, and encouraged any members who'd like to be involved as stand-by caddies to volunteer.

Paul remarked, as he handed over the shield, that it was only temporary, and we expected to win it back again very soon.

And the Golden Hole jackpots to $35, so those of you who've been holding back in anticipation of a bigger pot can now go for the flag.

And the Stableford comp - a big clutch of very reasonable scores, in spite of the greens being cored and sanded, with nine players within four points of the winner, and a clean sweep by the girls.

3rd, with 38, Judith

2nd, with 38, Vickie

and 1st, with 39, Jill. Congratulations (getting to be a habit!)

Stableford Cock-Up!

Yes, due to an error by our friends at Wembley Golf Course we didn't play the first round of the Club Championship this week - instead that will now take place on May 5th. So - it was Stableford on the Tuart, which proved its usual testing self. Paul very kindly took up the back marker for us, enabling several of us to avoid acute embarrassment - thanks mate, we'll owe you one.

Lorenzo put in his third card, a very creditable 94, so the handicapper will pronounce next week. In the meantime, NTP on the third - Earle (although Ivar netted a closer shot, but expected us to fill in his name for him, which of course we didn't. Judith has promised to buy a ball for him to ease his disappointment) NTP on the ninth - Earle (becoming a habit!) NTP on the twelfth - Gary Longest Drive on the seventeenth (and it was a whopper!) - Shelley Which leaves the following to make dispatches: Kerry 36 Peter 36 Jill 36 Gary 39 and the winner is....

Glenn, also with 39. Thanks to Mike for sponsoring this weeks prize. Next week, our team versus the blind golfers is: Paul Kerry David Ross Mike Good luck to you all.
