A great day for golf, but pairings and the inevitable 'wipe' scores by your partner led to stressful scoring!

| Coops about to consume his protien rich egg & bacon sandwich! |
The weather was perfect with blue skies with some cloud cover . A bit of wind at times and the temperature in the mid to high 20's.
 |
| Roland, Sparky & Gerry |
Paul B and Wayne consistently hit smoking tee shots, several of which hit trees at around 200m only to rebounded 150m or so straight back onto the fairway! A stunning display of Newtons law of motion!
 |
| A very nasty lie ! Take a penalty or risk damaging a club? |
 |
| Paul Gardner's ball is lurking in the scrub. See below |
However, miraculously, Paul managed to hit it to within 4 feet of the hole!
 |
| Peter misjudged his 2nd shot on the 8th hole which veered too far right to left leaving him with an awkward lie! |
 |
| "Head down - eye on the ball" The rest is left to the gods! |
 |
| Everyone was happy to unwind at the clubhouse where plates of hot chips and drinks were consumed as wild banter prevailed! |

| Another perspective! |
Divorced Stableford Pairs - Results
Congratulations to Roland and Barry for scoring an outstanding 73 points (an average of 4 points per hole!) to win the paired competition! Each was awarded a $25 Wembley Gift Card!
Andrea and Gardy came 2nd on a countback from Karl and Dave M, each team with 69 points (an average of 3.8 points). Andrea and Gardy each received a $10 Wembley Gift Card!
 |
| Proud winners ! Roland & Barry |
The individual stableford scores will provide a perspective on why the winners won and the Bag of Lollies recipients came last! However, there is still a strong element of luck as to whether or not the higher scores from both partners occur on the same holes!
Mark Hill was unable to compete in the paired competition as his partner, Mark Wilson was unable to make the start!

| Wayne wins men's longest drive |
The short putt is most often given the least attention compared to other strokes taken on the hole!
