Par

A small field today, only sixteen players.

John recommends you sign your balls before throwing them to the crowd.

And if you decided not to play because of the weather forecast - wrong call!

What a beautiful day..

There was exactly fifty seconds of rain. The rest of the day was blissful.

Still a long way to the girls' tee, Dave.

Par's a quick game. If you haven't parred the hole, you pick up. Those minus's can stack up pretty easily.

Sixteen players - a good chance to get some consistency points

Some interesting stats for those of us trying to get down to scratch - here's what you need to do.

We couldn't find the raffle, so we improvised. Dave was the proud winner of $10.

Snookered myself on the fourth

Derek and Dave discovered that the computer is always right - except when you've put the crosses in the wrong boxes. Then it's still right, but you're wrong.

So, check if you disagree with the computer, and resolve the issue there and then - it really wasn't watching your round!

And a rousing SOS welcome was afforded Richard Yeo on the occasion of his birthday.

Not sure if playing golf counts as a reasonable excuse for not voting. Maybe get those postal votes in...

Stiff competition for the lollies today - Jack was on target over the first nine holes, but faded badly on the second.

Don't get too disheartened at your poor scores. After all:

Kerry awards the prize to Kenny Rogers
