| The perpetual joy of being in the first group |
 |
| Always a contender |
And a very fine cup it is too. Not the kindest lie for Jan on the sixth, especially as she had played for safety rather than taking on the big tree.
 |
| A fair response.. |
 |
| What Jan needed to do on the sixth |
Some noble efforts at acknowledging the day. Kerry and Paul had Australian citizenship bestowed upon them - a couple of excellent additions to the team.
And a thumbs down to Richard Osborne, who was awarded the Tie of Shame, for making no effort at all to acknowledge the occasion (although we have to accept it may have been as a protest at Invasion Day. In which case, we apologise for our insensitivity)
 |
| Wear it with pride.. |
First prize to John for an exceptional wardrobe turn out.
 |
| And this is where we buried the treasure |
And first prize for the girls goes to Frances, for a decorated buggy that took some beating.
 |
| Getting in the swing of things |
But what about the golf?
The Golden Hole went off again - with Earle taking home the chocolates after getting inside Shelley's earlier effort. (But don't get too excited, there was only one week's contributions in the pot).
 |
| Perhaps why Richard Yeo is heading to Addis Ababa for his holidays |
The other novelties provided challenges, with Richard Yeo birdying the third to take nearest the pin in 2 unarguably.

Richard Osborne and the computer had a disagreement again, but it was enough to save him the embarrassment on the lollies, which went to his equally poorly played brother-in-law.

A very tidy round from John, who shone on most holes without every really blinding on any - a good solid unpretentious round being enough to pick up the trophy, although a birdie on the thirteenth is always welcome.

We've got a good turn out for the Par 3 event at Claremont on Thursday. If you haven't signed up yet, please email Derek, and if you haven't paid, please EFT to the club or pay Shelley on Thursday.

| Now I've just got to work on the accent.. |
Tee-off is at 5:30, the course is at Lapsley Road, off Davies Rd opposite the Claremont Football Club.
The longest hole is 137 metres, the shortest 84. Men and women play from the same tees.
Next week, first round of the Summer Cup - a two week stroke competition on the Old Course. See you all there.
