Matchplay Round 3

 After a week with heavy rainfall the god of golf switched on the sun 

and 18 SOS golfers ventured out for the 3rd Matchplay round on the Old Course.

BEFORE THE GAME

Gary, Mark & Gonchy gather around Andrea
who brought in the novelties

Andrea & Kerry

that's what the golfers do

Earle takes it seriously 

Greg Bennett smiles sadly into the camera,
his  matchplay partner Birgit has called in sick

exactly! We play golf not football

SOS returnee Gonch & Co blogger Derek

Earle & Derek seem to be in a good mood
before they play against each other

it's time to bring keepcups to the golf,
what about cups with the SOS logo?

DURING THE GAME

Gerry trying to hit low

is that yellow thing Kerry's ball?
Where is she going?

Mark not happy with this lie,
though it could be worse

as Andrew is showing here with his selfie

AFTER THE GAME

treasurer Peter counting the money
and the giftcards or did he win the raffle?

for Glenn Kelly

CAPTAIN'S CORNER

Annual Fellowship tournament

Please note this is a Stableford competition, and this year we have a Sponsor Austin Engineering - 

some guests from Austin will join the game.

We have a shiny new trophy and Austin golf caps will be provided to all participants. 

Thanks for wearing them during the game and for the official group picture

Due to the bad weather forecast  we decided it is better to stay at Wembley premises for the price announcement and the celebration of the event.
