Stableford on the Old Course, on a beautiful day for golf.
So where were you all - sixteen players, and a great opportunity to get scores for the Consistency Trophy, still points for the top six?
I know - everyone's going on holiday now all the schoolkids are locked away doing their sums and Latin declensions, or whatever it is kids do in school these day.
The beaches are empty, there are no queues at the bakery, and that poor quokka's got sick of posing for endless selfies and is taking an extended nap.
Some unusual takers for the excessive swearing fine today - brought this to mind.
And even worse today - NO RAFFLE! A coach will be leaving shortly for the casino, for all those who were denied their weekly gamble.
So, before we get down to the nitty gritty, you'll have noticed that next week it's Vice-Captain's choice on the Tuart.
And what has he come up with? Scroll down to the end and find out.
Two remarkable observations today - absolutely no-one in the club was born in February
And today, there wasn't a single birdie. Is this a record?
The tourists are beginning to go home again - does this feel familiar?
Those of you looking for a bit of an edge in your game might be interested in this:
It's been a long time since we've had a pie photo, but this is one of the better ones. Thank you, Peter.
And here's a classic picture from the archives..
This one's for a caption competition. Entries please, to derekcva@gmail.com, before next Saturday. One golf ball to the winner.
Keen competition for the novelties..
And a tussle at the top of the leaderboard.
Seems fair - a couple of weeks ago John beat Rob on countback for the chocolates - today it's reversed. They're both on top of their game at the moment.
And next week - it's Vice-Captain's choice on the Tuart - he's gone for Stableford, but with a twist - just three clubs and a putter allowed.
Your caddie will be delighted.
