Stableford

Stableford on the Tuart.

Birthdays coming up for Greg and Malcolm, get those candles ready. 

Beautiful day, but what happened to the golf?

Earle wonders why he can't get the ball in the hole

Thirty five Stableford points was enough to win the prize this week - generously sponsored by John Messenger.

Spending time in the trees? Not us..

And six eclectic points to go with it. 

A lot of time seems to have been spent in the trees

Royal Wedding? Just like ours.

And quite a few balls went for a bath, especially on the fifth. 

We welcomed back the president's wife, aka Frances Trump.

And our thoughts are with Marina Gray, and Mrs Bennett, wishing them a speedy recovery. 

The novelties featured the usual suspects

	HOLE	NOVELTY	CONTENDERS	WINNER
	3	NTP	Charmaine, Graeme, Peter,	Gary
	9	NTP	Bernie, Dave	Gary
	12	Golden Hole		Roland
	15	NTP in 2	Frances, Lynne, Brett, Earle	Peter
	17	LD	Greg, Roland	Shelley

And congratulations to Roland for winning the golden hole. We gather while there's nothing wrong with Charmaine's merc, she wouldn't turn down an upgrade if offered. 

Roland shows us the money

So to today's competition:

	PLAYER	SCORE	BIRDIES
	Jack	21
	Eric	24
	Earle	26
	Frances	26
	Vickie	26
	Greg	26
	Ian	27
	Derek	28
	Graeme	28
	Lynne	28
	Gary	29
	Bernie	29	18
	Brett	29
	Charmaine	30
	Shelley	31
	Richard	31
	Max	32	18
	Dave	32	9
	Roland	32	12
	John	33	1
	Gim	34	8
	Peter	35

That makes three wins from the last four starts for Peter. If he was a horse, we'd have him tested. But since he's not - well done, Peter, keep playing great golf. 

Easy game!

 To those of you who wished to see here some mention of the nonsense at Windsor, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Have this cartoon instead, which is almost as funny.

Now, you've all been waiting for the winner of the caption competition - congratulations to Dave Williamson, who came up with this classic:

Rita " Oh Dear, there's one of our members with his fly open!"

Paul " Hee hee, Tell him at the 19th !!" 

Now for this week's competition, get your pens out and come up with a caption for this one:

OK, let's see your entries to the caption competition for this one..

Entries this week to Frances at falonghurst1@gmail.com, please, as I'm away. In the meantime Vickie will be blogging. 

Next week, it's the first round of the match play competition. Two points for a win, one for a match that finishes all square.

Don't forget the prize for the best winner. That's not the player who wins by the largest margin, but the one who manages to win while ensuring that their partner has still had a enjoyable game of golf. 

You'll need to be nominated by the person you beat, and in the event there are no nominations, the prize will jackpot to the next round of match play. (Seriously? No nominations!?)

 So, let's make it a match play to remember, for all the right reasons.
