What do you mean "We can't join SOS?" Where else are we going to meet so many good-looking blokes?
 |
Today, we were competing for the Diggers Trophy.
But it was PAR!!!
Where the worst score possible is -18, and the best possible is +18.
Almost Stableford minus 36, but not quite, because those Stableford scores of one point become a minus when you play Par. And you don't get any bonus points for a birdie.
Harsh
So - a difficult game at which to get a good score. (Didn't stop one or two of us, though)
 |
A heavy shower before we started, then perfect conditions for the rest of the day.
 |
That's why we live here!
 |
| And that's why I live here... |
Followed by (oh, joy!) a sausage sizzle at Perry Lakes.
 |
Tony's first sausage sizzle (the first of many, we hope..)
 |
| Doesn't get much better than this... |
How did your Trick and Treating go? Round our way they generally set the dogs on you.
 |
Golden Hole failed to go off, so $20+ for next week. Not quite up to the jackpot currently on offer on the Old Course,

| I need to talk to Lindsey about a new mantlepiece |
Birthday greetings were offered to Peter.
 |
(And RIP the ducks).
 |
Shelley introduced us to the special fines for the month of November - with all proceeds going to a Veteran's charity.
 |
It's now time to pay for your annual dinner tickets is you haven't already done so - $45 for members, $75 for your guests. Transfer to the SOS account, or cash to Shelley. Promises to be a great night, as always.
 |
| Finally - now I'm eligible for the Masters |
Frances was awarded the SOS Cup trophy, which she won a couple of weeks ago.
 |
Nest week, it's back to stroke on the Tuart course - both the Memorial and the Masters trophies will be awarded. The Masters trophy will be competed for by all those who have previously either won a two-week competition or the Match Play trophy.
The Memorial trophy is open to all players. It is, of course, possible for one player to win both trophies. Now here's a cautionary tale..
 |
See you next week. Meanwhile, this guy's clearly in the running for coach of the year:
