Stableford on the Tuart

 What, no trophies today? Nothing for the mantlepiece? 

That's right. Just a straightforward Stableford competition. What do you think this is, the Masters or something?

They've just had a lost ball, wrong fairway, windy, an aggregate score of eighteen strokes
on the par 5, AND THEY'RE STILL SMILING.
That's the SOS spirit!

A beautiful day, nothing to be frightened of. The scary BOM forecast never eventuated, the temperature remained delightfully temperate, and the breeze was nothing more than gentle. 

So you're playing in front of Brett today?

We teed off nice and early, and were done by midday, but not too early for a cold beer, or something similar. 

Ginger for us.

Missed our regular blogmaster, who is nursing a (sporting) injury - get well soon, sir. 

That's Lynne on the left and Lynley on her left.

Those of us who are playing on Thursday, the weather forecast is clement, and there will be maps and playing groups soonest. 

 

With nearest the pin prizes on every hole, there will be plenty to play for. 

Beware the photobomber!

So, starting with the novelties, how did we go?

	HOLE	NOVELTY	CONTENDERS	WINNER
	5	NTP in 3	Stephanie, Dave, Glen K	Brett
	6	NTP in 2	Gary	Lynley
	13	LD	Lynne, Derek	Glen K
	15	NTP in 3	Frances, Glen K	Brett
	GOLDEN HOLE		No winner

And now for the big one:

		SCORE	BIRDIES
	Brett	38	15, 16
	Lynne	38	14
	Gerry	37
	Derek	36
	Lynley	36
	Gary	33	8
	Dave	33
	Stephanie	32	18
	Keith	30	3
	Glen K	29	7
	Frances	29	3, 18
	Greg	27
	Carol	27
	Tony G	27	7
	Glen P	26
	TJ	26
	Boris	26
	Earle	25
	Don	24
	Colin	24
	Shelley	22

A fair spread of scores, but no really stellar performances, with the winner on 38. (Not to take anything away from the winner, but...)

A win's a win, suckers!

You'll be aware the double strike rule has been removed with the new rules. That's allowed an innovative solutiont to try, next time you're snookered by a tree. 

Next week, it's the first week of the Summer Cup on the Tuart - a two week stroke competition. 

This huge investment in lotto tickets realised....absolutely nothing. 
That can't be fair, can it?

New shirts will be available next week, and we'll aim to take a club photograph on the second week of the Summer Cup, and also celebrate with a sausage sizzle. So be there. 

Too true
