Match Play round 2

.

It was perfect.

.

Blissful

.

Blue skies and sunshine.

.

Why wouldn’t you be playing golf

.

 

And match play too

.

Brings out the competitive instinct

Played in the right spirit, we feel..

Or at least it should

.

There were gimmies

.

There were should have been gimmies

.

 

And there were “I would have given you that if you’d given me mine”

But overall, played in the right spirit

.

Some went down to the wire

Some were done and dusted as early as the 13^th

But all had fun

	PLAYER 1  (birdies)	prevailed against	PLAYER 2 (birdies)
	Goochie (17)	3/1	Boris
	Gerry	7/5	Earle
	Gary (14,15)	4/3	Greg
	Mark W (18)	1/0	Glenn K (9,18)
	Derek	6/4	Peter
	Keith	1/0	Frances
	Mark H	1/0	Kerry
	Colin (14)	6/4	Paul C
	Shelley (7,14)	4/3	Glen P

Interestingly, (well, quite interestingly), Mark Wilson managed to birdie the 18^th out of the bunker, and Glenn Kelly birdied it too. What a way to finish a round.

This one went down to the wire.

We celebrated Malcolm’s birthday, together with Mitch Smith and Greg’s.

Goochy (el Presidente) is away for three weeks

Frances is away for three also

Carol took Keith's credit card for an outing

Carol and Keith are away for six weeks to Europe, 

Off to Europe? Just saying....

Drue O’Donoghue put his third card in, with a score of 101, and will join the group as an Associate Member.

This is Drue. Say hi to him when you get the chance

Yay, new raffle numbers..

Guess who won the raffle!

Shelley is looking for an intern to train up as standby Booking Officer, as she will be away for the odd week coming up. She tells us it’s an interesting position with lots of potential, so talk to Shelley if you’re looking for an opportunity to excel in a new area.

	NOVELTY	HOLE	CONTENDERS	WINNER
	LD ♂	9	Boris, Gerry, Pugsy, Mark W	Mark Hill
	LD ♀	4		Kerry
	NTP	18	Gary	Pugsy
	NTP in 3	2	Goochie	Gary
	NTP in 2	16		Goochie
	Golden Hole			XXXX

Golden Hole is now worth $117, while on the Old Course we now have not one, but two Golden Holes. One (obviously) is worth $150, the other around $10, so choose carefully.

Apparently Shelley found a pair of gentleman’s underpants on the third green. Doesn’t sound like much of a gentleman to me.

Bugger!

Birgit is arriving this evening, so if anyone knows where she keeps the vacuum cleaner, can you SMS Gerry quickly.

.

Birgit takes the dog for a walk at 4:30 in the morning when she’s home, so it has been unimpressed with Gerry arising somewhat later

I hope she comes back soon

 

She's been gone a very long time..

.Sad. I've missed her..

Next week - it’s the WA Cup. A Stableford Competition. Phew.

.

Stableford

And that's how we like it

I'm really going to give this a good wallop!

 

Stableford!

Our very own bionic woman

Bit of a relief, with all these stroke games coming up

I hope you all noticed the matching glove artfully placed

This one's for le capitain, but it doesn't really need the caption

And a beautiful day for it

Just great to be here

Brett at a pretty swanky club before they set the dogs on him

No more than 24 degrees

Shelley and Peter trying to reconcile the fees for this week

And not a breath of wind

(And apologies to all you Grade 4 teachers having conniptions!)

A late start, so a bit of a sleep in

Had to rush back to watch Dockers thrash the Cats, so late blog this week

.

Surely we’d all have a great game

Lekker day, Paul?

And, to be fair, most of us did

Oooh, Pugsy just misses the Golden Hole

A score of 38 wasn’t guaranteed to even get you on the podium

Our game went down to the wire. Oh, it wasn't match play after all?

There was the usual banter and sledging afterwards

Played with Lynne and Lynley. There was a fair bit of this

And a controversy with the raffle - one number had 49 on one side, and 43 on the other

The government invigilators were not impressed

.

Latecomers will get short shrift

.

We had birthdays

.

TJ yesterday

Greg on Thursday - congrats to you both

Sneak peek at the new raffle wheel!!

And congrats to Gary, coming 10^th in the Qld All-Abilities Championship at the Redcliffe Golf Club

Pretty pleased

On a sad note, some of you may remember Doug Nichols, who has played alongside us with the blind golfers - we have heard that he passed away this week

.

And our thoughts are with Birgit, at a difficult time

.

Vickie’s been to hospital this week, too

Vickie's new knee

Gosh, we need to lighten this up a bit. Do you like this:

.

Next week, 2^nd round of the Match Play, on the Tuart

.

So get your payment to Shelley asap, so she can do the draw

.

And may the best man/woman/child win..

Competition for the novelties not as keen as usual?

Yes, I've got the lollies. Get over it

And here's one that will  be familiar to all of those who've ever spent time in the workforce:
