DIGGER TROPHY

 




Another challenge for the SOSes on a sunny November morning ….. PAR….. some of us had to google what that is about ….

PAR??? What is PAR?



others just relaxed and had a coffee...Dave and his coffee on the go.

 



 

Gim looking confident and signaling victory to Shelley.

 



 

Some members patiently queuing for paying for the Golden Hole and Eagles Nest, sorry, but the guest blogger didn’t get any info on the jackpot value. 


 

The usual crowd took off and most of us enjoyed hitting the balls, except Gerry who not only tried manifesting his reputation as the new "SOS fashion icon", but showing impressive "2-orange-ball-juggling-skills".


That was a baaaad drive, but Birgit managed to chip the ball out.


.... while a golfer in the same group lost control over his equipment. Oups.




Back to the clubhouse Gary welcomed us with the disturbing news that the digger trophy went missing, but more of that later ….. 

Here the SOS crowd  relaxing and discussing......



...... how to work on the perfect swing. Some of us are close, others are working hard on it.


 

COMPETITION REPORT:

Let’s first see how the competition went. No surprises here, we saw the usual good performers on the front seats.

 

Winner of the day was Greg, being gratulated by the captain. Who can find the mistake?

                


...and here is Greg with a happy smile




Glen P as the runner-up, blogger confirms the gift card has not been glued to his forehead.

                


Steph once again saved the honour of the golfing ladies by securing the 3rd place, she's not looking too enthusiastic though. 😁

Shelley was working hard to sell all raffle tickets.....



and it was Ian who won the 10 $ in the first raffle draw. Though were was the chook?? The chicken chips? The eggs?

Let's follow-up next week.

                

 


Back to the mystery of the missing digger trophy:

 Thorough search of the premises didn’t reveal the whereabouts of the digger trophy….

 

                


….. luckily it was found back after most of the members left and ...


.... is now being fiercely guarded by "Muffy".



 MISCELLANEOUS STUFF FROM BRETT

  • Peter B. happily celebrating his 73rd while Birgit is less enthusiastically looking forward to celebrating her 53rd.
  • Already 29 members have confirmed attendance to the end of the year event and hopefully a couple more will join!!! GIM? Come on …. 😉
  • Important message from Shelley: “please pay to SOS account not to Glen”
  • A warm "Welcome" to our guest player Paul Boquest and we hopefully will see Mrs Boquest on the fairway next week.
