No, we don't do that!!
So what happened on the course?
Here today's results:
Hands up and admit you're doing it.
Vickie and Earle looking happy
And the novelties:
Carol showing off her win for the longest drive. Well done Carol 👏👏
Any dramas on the course? YES!
The battery of Hilly's electric buggy wasn't charged properly and it ran out of power. Eh, nope; removing the wheel didn't improve its condition.
Gary came to save Hilly's day
until OUPS
Gary anyway had to fight his own battles...strong wind against umbrella! Gary won. 😃
Is this Yoga forward bend or easter egg hunt? It's Barry searching for his golf ball.
Earle reported a couple of small dramas from his group.
-- Vickie sneezed while Goochy was about to put and so he missed the unmissable.
-- Goochy hitting a safe and short (😂) wood3 drive on hole #8, then Earle told him that this hole is the men longest drive. Cheeky cheeky Earle.
Steph wasn't feeling well, she stopped playing after hole 13. Was it the heat? Hope you're feeling better soon 💗.
Back in the clubhouse:
Goochy, Keith and Barry re-hydrating
Birgit is looking like she's done a marathon.
Shelley #2 "won" today's lollies and dutifully shouted out the fines.
Goochy and Popey dutifully offered their help as fine collectors. They don't look fierce enough though.
Last but not least, the winner's podium, captain Gerry filling in for Mark Smith who left before he collecting his voucher.
The last ones lingering for yet another beer or cider. Yup! those well-known faces.
Last drama of the day:
Birgit's phone disappeared. After a frantic search throughout the clubhouse Gerry called her number and who answered? Goochy 😆...yup he had pocketed it by mistake, was already home, and had to return to the clubhouse.

Captains corner:
1) Rules reminder:
2) Update on the next games
3) Explanation of the funny games
Lone Ranger/Yellow ball
It's a team game and works with 4 players per team.
Each team gets a yellow ball, On hole 1, player A plays with the yellow ball. The team score on each hole is the Stableford score of the yellow ball plus the lowest Stableford score of the remaining team members.
On hole #2 player B plays with the yellow
ball, same scoring, the yellow ball Stableford score plus the lowest
stableford score of the other players in the team, and so on for the 18 holes.
It means we all play usual stableford with cards submitted to Golflink and a separate scorecard for the team
Remember that hole 4+5 of the OLD course are closed on 12.02 and 19.02. hence we play CRAZY golf.
Divorce Stableford:
Team of 2 where both Stableford points are multiplied.
