Now...Surprise-surprise...the Jackpot has been won again
Jackpot Hole #16: Fran.
You read it right: the Longhurst Family strikes again. Now that both Derek and Fran are done, the rest of us can have a chance.
Funny that it takes so long, sometimes, to win the jackpot, then the week after it's won again. Last time it happened with Phil, then the week after Judith.

Putting Competition:
The winner is: Shelley 29 putts

Next week: Ladies choice, Four Ball Best Ball.

Also the SOS S&S date has been postponed, final date TBA.

Stableford, Tuart 04 May 2013

Tuart Course, Wembley Golf Complex, 04 May 2013.
Stableford Play
Prize Sponsor: SOS

Today back to normal routine golf, Stableford play, on the Tuart course.
Gorgeous day, sunny and mild 20s temperature.
Warm up at the driving range, few more putts on the practice green (still a little moist), then tee off at 9:00am.

Today the men had a "little" advantage: their blue markers were just by the ladies' red ones. Did the ladies enjoy the game as much as us men did? :) From memory, this is the second time that this happens, in the turn of just few weeks... what's going on? Maybe some very competitive player gets up in the middle of the night, jumps over the course fence and moves the men's markers as he pleases? Out of curiosity I am going to enquire at the pro-shop, ... watch this space.
By the way...: did anyone notice a little Thank-you card left on the 18th tee? See a photo below :)

This week Richard turned 20 odd again: Happy Birthday Rich!

Kathleen handed in her second scorecard, we look forward to have you in our Saturday's competitions.
