Australia Day Cup Stroke Play Wembley Old Course Saturday 24th January 2015

Your stance, your ball, your puff!

SPONSOR: SOS
Approaching the SOS Group I was pleasantly surprised by the number of players that made an effort to dress up in Australian Colours and flags to celebrate Australia Day. Earle's colourful fingernails, Aussie flag in Shelley's pants, Vickie's cart draped in Australian Flags, all set a great vibe to the start of a good golf day. After 18 holes of play, we could not wait for a cold drink and sausage sizzle at Perry Lakes. A great gathering once again and food to suit a king, even a cake to end the feast. A great contribution by all. Many thanks to Paul and Kerry for organising and cleaning up. As per tradition, The Stangers and Co were the last to leave again.

Stableford Wembley Old Course Saturday 17th January 2015

Sponsor: SOS

A very pleasant hot summers day for a great game of golf. I was fortunate to have my husband by my side and played a fantastic game, despite the "honeymoon" comments from my team members Greg and Brett. Lol you Guys were actually hilarious.

The Stirrer and his Helper!

We had a day of celebrations as our Pommy Friends got their PR - Well done to Kerry and Paul. I know the feeling of relief, having gone through it myself. They were awarded a prize for their efforts, presented by the one and only President, I mean our SOS President.

With all the distraction's Kerry battled to hold onto an umbrella even the one she got off Ron!

Kerry does this look familiar!

Welcome to Ron and his beautiful Wife!

Despite last week's disaster game, I brushed up pretty well this week. The 16th hole made my day! Closest to the pin, birdie, and THE GOLDEN HOLE! Brilliant!

Umm what shall I buy with all this money!

4BBB Stableford Wembley Tuart Course - Saturday 10th January 2015

Sponsor: SOS

The early start to play resulted in a few grumpy people. eg: Paul Gardner (should wake up early more often, looking at your results)

Unfortunately I do not have anything to report as I was not well and left straight after playing golf. Apologies to my poor partner (Malcolm) who had to put up with me trembling like a leaf for 18 holes. I was amazed at how well Shelley and Stephanie were playing, great golf Girls.

Paul Gardner and Richard Yeo were the winners on Saturday. Well done Guys.

Summer Cup Stableford Old Course Wembley 3rd January 2015

Sponsor: SOS

First of all a hearty welcome to Shelley and Malcolm. Nice to have them back.

The start to 2015 and all looked well partied! The weather conditions made 18 holes of golf very tiring. The new start time of 8.00am from this weekend will definitely make a difference. Sorry for the late risers.

I was fortunate to play in the second team with Kerry, Paul and Earle. Kerry tried her best to play with a painful back. Paul decided on the 10th hole to go for the green. Who knows where that little ball landed, never to be found, resulting in a self disqualification as he was too lazy to walk back to the tee! Very upset Mr Gardner walked to the 11th hole and hit at that stage, the longest drive. He then ended up putting for an eagle, just missing and birdied the hole. Lesson to be learnt: Rather walk back to the tee and reload! You never know when that eagle opportunity will make its appearance!

Well done to Vickey for playing 18 holes with all bones intact, and what a good round she had! Proud of you Girl!

The day won't be a good one if there wasn't controversy, look at the photos below!
