Summer Cup Round 2

A bit of a warm one, but in the best SOS tradition, most declared "it wasn't that bad". It's Perth - it's summer.

The second round of the Summer Cup, played on the Tuart.

Your ball, I think

The novelties proved competitive, but the Golden Hole jackpots for another week.

	NOVELTY	HOLE	CONTENDERS	WINNER
	NTP in 2	3	Shelley,	Max (in the hole)
	NTP	9	Ross, Jan	Ian
	NTP in 3	18	John, Max, Gary	Ian
	LD	14	Malcolm, Gerry	Brett

The electronic scorecard system passed its first test of calculating an aggregate score, and managed to successfully separate four players on countback for the trophy

This is the view the guy who stops the ball rolling in the hole gets

Picked this up in an instructional golf book. Looks like it ought to be useful, but the more I look at it, the more I think it's just someone's idea of a pretty pattern.

And a special word must go to Max, who broke eighty off the stick for the first time - congratulations.

So - the scores for the second round:

	PLAYER	SCORE	BIRDIES
	Max	66	3, 17
	Gerry	69
	Kerry	69	1
	Gary	70
	Don	70
	Peter	72
	Greg	73
	Shelley	75
	John	76	1
	Keith	76
	Ian	76
	Richard O	77
	Jan	77
	Glen	78
	Brett	79
	Paul	81
	Stephanie	84
	Ross	86

Some exceptional scores

We said goodbye to Gerry, who will be playing elsewhere in future - we hope he takes with him happy memories of his time with SOS.

Just check Shelley's not handing these out for your raffle win

Thanks to Stephanie, who stood in for Ross and extracted vast fines from the assembled company.

And now, the aggregate scores for the Summer Cup competition.

	PLAYER	SCORE
	Max	139
	Gerry	139
	Kerry	139
	Don	139
	Peter	142
	Keith	144
	Gary	146
	Shelley	146
	Ian	146
	Glen	147
	Greg	148
	Jan	149
	John	150
	Richard O	151
	Brett	152
	Stephanie	156
	Paul	157
	Ross	160

And in handing the trophy to Max, we noticed that Colin had first won this trophy back in 1975, that's forty four years ago. Back then, we guess he must have been even younger than Max is today!

Another great name to add to the trophy

Some great rounds of golf, four exceptional aggregate rounds, and a four-way tie separated only on countback.

Next week - it's a comfortable round of Stableford on the Old Course. And we're reassured that it will be a little cooler.
