Twenty two SOS members and a guest, Gillian Pitt, took to the Tuart Course in overcast conditions to contest the 5th round of the Club Championship. A light sprinkle of rain at the start led to the occasional sunlight breaking through the heavy cloud cover, but generally a very agreeable day to play golf!
 |
| Shelly, Lynley, Lynne & Glenn K set the pace in the first group. |
 |
| Bernie, Frances & Earle ready to impress! |
 |
| Glen, Colin & Greg consider their chances. |

International Dinner at Lot Six Zero
Many thanks to Glen and Lindsey Pope for providing their Subiaco eatery for SOS's first International Night. Also to Carol Barrow, our Social Organiser, for coming up with the concept and the many others who arranged food, drinks, decorations and prizes!
It proved to be a highly entertaining night with much frivolity! The food dishes were many and varied, coming from many parts of the world, highlighting the 'International' origins of the SOS membership.
The aim of the dinner was to sample a little from as many international dishes that took your fancy.
 |
| Gerry, Shelley and Malcolm setting up the venue. |
 |
| Keith & Stephanie checking out the wines on offer! |
 |
| Some of the main course offerings including Hungarian Goulash, Shredded Pork, Bangers & Haggis |
 |
| Peter won first prize for serving up small haggises (or should that be 'haggii'?) and pulled his Baird tartan kilt out of a 10 year hibernation for the night! |
 |
| Gerry & Shelley under the Flags of Nations! |
The Auction
A week or two ago Brett provided details of an auction of the 8 match play finalists to be held tonight and suggested members should study the form guide carefully as there may be a bargain to be had! The details provided by Brett included his estimate of what he thought the winning bids might achieve, the estimated bids totaling $410.
Good advice, but the winning bids were some 150% higher in total, providing a pool of $1,000 and made by a surprisingly high number of related parties, indicating perhaps that domestic harmony was heeded before common sense! Time will tell.
 |
| Auctioneer Brett takes the bids |
 |
| Derek takes a bid over his mobile phone ! |
 |
| Glenn Kelly and Sandy Fordham toss a few bids in! |
 |
| Bidding was at times hesitant as the market was tested! |
 |
| Carol Barrow with Tony and Julie Gooch watching the auction |
A total of $1,000 was raised from the auction which will provide a 1st place dividend of $800 and a 2nd place dividend of $200.

The PROPER WAY TO CALL A GOLFER A B******D
A guy was getting ready to tee off on the
first
hole when a
second golfer approached and asked if
he could join
him. The first said that he usually
played alone,
but agreed to the twosome.
They were even
after the first two holes. The
second guy
said, "We're about evenly matched, how
about playing
for five bucks a hole?"
The first guy
said that he wasn't much for
betting, but
agreed to the terms.
The second guy
won the remaining sixteen holes
with ease. As
they were walking off number
eighteen, the
second guy was busy counting his
$80.00. He
then confessed that he was the pro at
the
neighboring course and liked to pick on
suckers.
The first fellow
revealed that he was the Parish
Priest.
The pro was
flustered and apologetic, offering to
return the
money.
The Priest
said, "You won fair and square and I
was foolish to
bet with you. You keep your
winnings."
The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to
make
it up to you?"
The Priest said, "Well, you
could come to Mass on
Sunday and make a donation of
$80. And, if you
want to, bring your Mother and
Father along, I'll
marry them."
You gotta smile.
