YELLOW PERIL

That was an interesting game. 

Yellow Peril? I was planning on playing with my pink balls..

Captain's choice, and she chose Yellow Peril. 

So, whose socks are these? Answer below.

Took a couple of holes, but we soon had it worked out. 



Seems if you didn't have the yellow ball, you could let someone else get a better score than you and no-one really noticed what a bad hole you'd had. 

I've stuck it on the end of this stick so we don't lose it

Sounds like the perfect game, we should play it more often. 




Thank you to Vickie for her sponsorship, and well done the talented team that won with an impressive 83 points. 

We welcomed Jeanie to the club today, who managed a very creditable 32 points playing in one of the less fancied teams. 

Going incognito

But before we get to the results, a couple of important announcements. 

The Annual Dinner takes place on November 17th, that's three weeks today.




The dinner will start at 1830 hrs (half past six), and it will be at Al Fornetto on Scarborough Beach Road, corner of Flamborough Street, Doubleview. 

There are several menu options, and vegetarian options available. Wine, beer and soft drinks will be provided by SOS, there'll be prizes and entertainment, and the price is $45 for members, and $70 for non-members.  

Happy Halloween, everyone

So far, the following people have indicated that they'll be coming. If your name is not on this list, but you'd like to come, please email to Shelley.

Who's that handsome bloke in the last group?

Now the big news - next week, a sausage sizzle after the game at Perry Lakes. Clear your after game schedules - don't miss this. 



And the even bigger news - a fantastic hole in one on the twelfth by Glen - with the yellow ball no less, with which he managed to pick up the Golden Hole, and the Eagles Nest. Fantastic result, Glen. 

Always a great moment

And that's not all - it's his birthday this week, too. In the excitement it was missed in the announcements. 

For when you throw the club in after the ball 

And it's Gerry's birthday too. Happy birthday to both of you. Remember this:

So, the results. First, the novelties:

	HOLE	NOVELTY	CONTENDERS	WINNER
	3	NTP		Earle
	9	NTP	Greg	Earle
	14	LD	Richard, Shelley	Max
	18	NTP in 3	Jack, Greg	Glen

And the team results:

	TEAM	SCORE
	Jack, Brett, Malcolm, Gerry	68
	Richard, Rob, Derek, Jeanie	72
	Gary, Steph, John, Shelley	78
	Peter, Vickie, Jan, Greg	82
	Frances, Max, Glen, Earle	83

Well done that team. 

Next week, we're competing for two trophies, the Memorial and the Masters. Both are stroke competitions, the Memorial is open to anyone, the Masters is restricted to anyone who has won a competition that was played over two weeks or more while they've been a member of SOS. It is, of course, possible to win both. 

It doesn't get any more co-ordinated than this..

The competitions will be played on the Tuart course again. 

So why does he keep showing me his socks? Is it a club thing?

That's right. The socks were Gary's.

And remember, the only sure way to get a par is to leave a four-foot birdie putt two inches short of the hole. 


That's it for this week. See you all on Saturday. 

SOS CUP Round 2

Round 2 of the prestigious SOS Cup

Now that's what I call dressing for the occasion

Several players in contention, after some excellent rounds last week

We're playing for sheep stations

The leader from last week was Peter

To improve his chances, he's wearing the same lucky socks he wore last week. 



Has he washed them since? We really don't know. We'd have to ask his playing partners. 

Hard to know who's excluded then..

Birthdays this week for Frances. 

Remember, the Annual Dinner takes place this year on Saturday 17th  November. 



The venue is La Fornetto, on Scarborough Beach Road. Do make every effort to come, and bring a guest with you, too. It's always a fun night, and this year promises to be even funner. 



John is hoping to organise an SOS competition to participate in the Super 6 competition. We put forward a male and female winner to compete for a place in the Pro-Am at Karrinyup. To participate, you must be available to play in a play-off on Sunday, Jan 20th. More details will follow.

Memo to Max and Jack - at this stage, any career is still possible, look at this guy.

So, to the novelties:

	NOVELTY	HOLE	CONTENDER	WINNER
	NTP	2		Gerry
	NTP in 3	5		Peter
	NTP in 2	13	Greg, Frances	Gim
	LD		Peter	Gerry
	Golden Hole	16		Brett

And Brett took home the Golden Hole  - only $17, unfortunately, so the jackpot goes back to zero next time we're on the Old Course. 

And now, the SOS Cup. Second Round results:

	PLAYER	SCORE	BIRDIES
	Derek	80
	Gerry	78	15
	Richard O	76
	Rob	76
	Gary	76	10
	Earle	75
	Peter	74
	Glen	72	11
	Max	72	8
	Brett	72	11,17
	Frances	72
	Vickie	71
	Richard Y	69	6
	Gim	69
	Greg	69
	John	68	10,14
	Jack	61	2

A remarkable round there from Jack, and thank you to Richard for your kind sponsorship of today's competition - much appreciated. 


And the overall winner:

	PLAYER	SCORE
	Derek	165
	Max	154
	Vickie	149
	Gim	146
	Richard Y	144
	John	141
	Greg	140
	Peter	139

A great first round, and a serviceable second one from Peter were enough to bring home the trophy. The lucky socks obviously performed - I suspect we'll be seeing them again. 

No raffle this week, but good news from Shelley, who lucked out on the Scratchie which she won in last week's raffle!



Next week on the Tuart, it's Captain's Choice - no doubt she'll keep us guessing, so be ready for anything!
