Yes, it was Par Bisque, and we’ll come back to that in a minute
 |
But first, a recap of the Par 3 Competition at Lake Claremont on Wednesday evening.
 |
A stinking hot day, but a bit of breeze by 5pm made for a much pleasanter round of golf.
25 Players turned up for the competition
The course keeps a few tricks up its sleeve, but having been recently cored and sanded “straight at the flag” was the strategy on the greens.
 |
Brett got as near to a hole in one on the short downhill 3rd as is possible without actually dropping in the hole.
 |
And our two guests actually ended up with the best figures.

Now, back to Par Bisque.
 |
If you have trouble calculating your par score,
You’ll struggle even more with Par Bisque
(and nothing to do with Lobster Bisque)
 |
| We're going to need a bigger pot |
 |
| James ponders his options |
 |
| It's in there somewhere |
 |
| Successfully pondered |
Apply those handicap strokes wherever they’ll do the most
good
And after the hole, not before like in some variants of the game.
It was warm and windy, never a pleasant combination
 |
| Well, there goes par! |
But golfers moved along briskly
 |
| Andrea off to a great start on the first |
And Gerry excelled himself by adroitly ordering the various uncompliant marked cards
Extracting from each the only information that really mattered – the score.
 |
| A Beautiful Morning |
Vickie ran solo in her buggy today
 |
There were no birthdays - members will recall this is a time of year when there is a real dearth of such events
 |
We welcomed Roland for his third round as a guest - he will now put himself forward to the committee for election as a full member
And Jason Hyde joined us a guest also
 |
| But probably not |
