Stableford on Tuart

A great day for golf with a hint of coolness in the air but clear skies and indications summer is not too far away. Indeed, there was an encounter with a live dugite and also a dead magpie!

Goochy on the 15th!

The competition was a straightforward round of stableford on the Tuart Course and 23 SOS player turned up for the game including Gerry Tessier, still jet lagged from his return from holidays in Canada, and new member Kark Wolzak.

Conspicuous by his absence was intended guest bloggist Paul (aka Gonch) Gardner!

Goochy takes a swing from the face of the 5th tee aiming for
 the 4th green watched by 4D from the group in front

Peter found this magpie near his ball, close to the 9th green.
Fortunately rigor mortis had set in clearing him from an 'abuse of wildlife' fine!

Brett putts for birdie on the 10th!
Andrea scored a birdie on this hole as well!!

Kerry checks out the lie of her ball on the 13th fairway before
 making an impressive recovery shot up the hill between tree and shrub!

Kerry executes shot with precision! 

Greg finds the water on the 14th!!
That is one hell of a fishing pole!

Brett's 2nd shot on the par 5, 15th hole found the greenside bunker ~ unfortunately it was a provisional ball as the first went down the left side fairway. Team members Vickie, Kerry and Peter spend some time in the left rough trying to locate 4D's ball!

Brett's group must have come perilously close to a snake, and possibly disturbed it, as Goochy, in the following group, also put his ball into the left rough and, whilst looking, came face to fang with a 2 metre dugite!!

Summer obstacles!
