SOS Golf: 4BBB Stableford on Old

The conditions could not have been more perfect for a low scoring round! Sub 30 deg. temperature, blue skies and little wind to speak of!

The competition was a 4BBB stableford pairs on the Old Course and 29 SOS members and 2 guests turned up for the game. Members also completed individual cards for a net stroke score.

The R&A disciplinary committee has advised players to carefully observe the direction of balls putted by fellow players as a number of disturbing reports have been received on the use of covert technology.

Please observe this video which demonstrates the use of this technology !

Putting can also be hazardous !!

The Ash Tray collection over the 4 weeks of November raised a total of $215 and a cheque for that amount has been forwarded to the Kings Park Memorial Avenue Committee. The donation is an annual event for SOS and the fines list is modified for the month of November to reflect the 'Diggers Spirit'.
