WHITE LINE FEVER

 

White Line Fever.

Stableford, but played off the white tees.

Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned.

The forecast had suggested it was going to be a trifle warm.

The new SOS Summer uniform

Yesterday, the temperature reached 40.1°C - although the BOM indicated rather reassuringly that this only felt like 38.1°C, so that’s a relief.

Only ten members braved the heat, and of those, all but two were carting.

The intrepid walkers? Andrea and Roland.

Andrea celebrated her birthday. Congratulations, Captain.



The white tees helped get a bit closer for those birdies:

Popey on the 18th

Dave on the 6th

Roland on the 6th and 18th

Keith on the 17th

Brett on the 15th, 16th and 18th, and

Shelley on the 12th.

That's as close as you can get to a hole in one!
We share your pain.


So, the results:

Well done, Popey and Dave. A reasonable spread, and the heat doesn’t seem to have affected the scores too much - probably a very good day to choose the white tees.

Oh, he wasn't that bad!


Andrea outdrives Popey on the first.

Next week, it’s Irish Stableford on the Old Course. There’s been a bit of a tradition at SOS of making this a rather special day.

 


Only 14 years ago? Feels like yesterday!

See you there.
