American Foursomes

After the tension and excitement of the final qualifying round of the Match Play last week, a nice relaxing game where you can blame your partner for putting you in the trees, and take all the credit for that nice second shot from the middle of the fairway.

Well, it's cold, innit?

A special shout out to Jack, who was called out of bed to hurriedly make up a pair. Well done, mate.

Do that again and I'm playing in my jim-jams

And a host of extra fines this week - perhaps the classic to the person who we shall not name who, while in conversation with Rob, was heard to remark that Rob hadn't shown up yet. Punitive fines were levied of course.

Steph adds a little artistic class to the day

Dave and Rob managed to start their game with a ten on the first hole. And yes, it looks like it was all downhill from there.

Brought the furry animals out to play

Eric's buggy raised $190 on auction, which he has very generously donated to the club. We'll hold $42 in reserve to offer Eric a free game should he be passing through Perth again. Hope to see you back, Eric.

Just giving the new president a bit of training in how to skull a pint presidentially

The Golden Hole failed to go off this week - the Jackpot now stands at over $200, so no doubt we'll all be down training this week to drop a ball onto 140 metres (or whatever it is for the girls).

And if you ever worried about your boss catching you on the golf course, you've got to feel sorry for these guys:

So, to the novelties. A limited range this week, given the exceptional nature of the format.

	2	NTP		John
	6	NTP	Max	Brett
	13	NTP in 2	J&J	E&K
	16	NTP	Jan	Paul

And the final results.

So, a win for B1 and B2

And a big thank you to Earle for his generous sponsorship.

Next week, back to all tense and nervous, with the fourth round of the Club Championships. Remember, you have to put in five cards minimum to have a crack at the most prestigious trophy of the year.

Anyone got any idea who won the raffle?

And for the closing thought, back to an inspirational moment in the presidency of GW Bush:

“I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive.” – George W. Bush
