WA Week Cup

A bit chilly to start with, but blue skies and virtually no wind provided a tranquil setting for 23 stalwart SOS members to compete for the WA Week Cup, a stableford competition on the Old Course.

Several members were seen returning from the practice range just prior to the start of play, no doubt having concentrated on their intermediate clubs as the 16th hole Golden Hole Jackpot has accumulated to $300.

Vickie & Frances, happy in the knowledge
that it will not rain today!

The Round

Not much was reported on the round as far as bizarre events, unseemly conduct or misadventure was concerned!  However . . . . 

Gary's new mono cart only made it to the 6th hole before electrical issues caused it to stop, requiring Gary to summon a tow-cart as well as standard cart to enable him to complete the round! Apparently this is not the first time the drive mechanism has failed!  

 

Ground staff come to the rescue and remove
Gary's mono cart from the 6th tee area! 

Birthdays

Congratulations were extended to Lynne Malone who celebrates her birthday on 6 June!

Golden Hole

We all tried to get that ball to travel from the 16th hole tee to within some 2 metres of the pin.

And, we all failed yet again!  As the jackpot now totals $300 it represents 300 consecutive strokes (about 14 rounds of golf) that have failed to find their mark! An extraordinary outcome considering the many low handicappers in the club!
