Well it certainly appeared that upon my return from the UK i brought the rather inclement weather back with me, as we had rain pretty much all week.
The forecast for saturday was to expect showers and dry spells, and that's exactly what we got!
It was indeed a most British of autumn days windy, cool, at times wet and moments of sun,,,,, which may have accounted for the select 20 odd that turned up in their all-weather gear, and aslo the relatively low scoring.
This included a potential new member Rob Gray, who timed it perfectly to play his first round and joined us down at Perry Lakes for the PL Cup BBQ
My spies were out and at one point it was overheard that prior to teeing off:-
'only a European could win in this weather, that b-stard Paul has an advantage!'
At this point i must defend myself and state that i am indeed a 'fair weather player' hence my chosen sports of cricket & golf,,, but more of this later.
We were hoping and expecting our Italian from the eastern states to make an appearance, but unfortunately due to family commitments Lorenzo 'its a race' Ferrentino was unable to make the starting line-up.
Lozza you were missed, but you were there in spirit
Our thoughts are also with Gary who is once again in hospital, so we all wish you a speedy recovery mate and hope to see you back out there 'coaching' as only you know how!
Now i was going to mention the novelties, but they alas were keeping Gary company in hospital.
We did try to muddle through, but even with the one that we had i believe there was a smidgeon of 'controversy',,,,
Best ask Nola if you want any more details about that one.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY the Golden Hole didn't go off, and more has been entered into the kitty for next week.
Ok, so onto the important stuff

Extra points will be given to the men who choose to take the theme to heart (this is of course unofficial, but will make for a more entertaining blog next week),,,
You Know You Want To!
For the real ladies it's golf as normal, but for the guys you CANNOT use any club lower than a 5 iron or 5 wood,,,,, no drivers, 3 woods, hybrids allowed,,,
oooh yeh!
Now before I sign off i have to announce a Fine Of The Week - which may or may not become a regular feature.
Let me set the scene,,,,,,,,,
As the BBQ was winding up, the lovely Scarffs were tidying up, Earle had emptied the esky and was moving all the gear back to his car.
Then low and behold he gets into his car and starts his engine, Vicki was still helping at the table,,,
suddenly after being prompted by someone (apologies i forget who), Vicki looks up, looks a bit flustered and shouts to Earle
'Wait i'm still here!!!! Don't go without me!!!'
Earle drives off,,, with Vicki in a slow chase,,,
after a few steps Vicki suddenly realises she drove down too, and blushing walks to her poor lonely forgotten car and leaves,,
Bless Vicki, you are an absolute star, and for that i award you the Fine of the Week!
Thats all folks for another week,,,, see ya for Ladies Day!
