Matchplay Round 3 on Tuart

 "WET" and "WINDY" was Saturday's weatherforecast .....

..... and for once, the meteorologists seemed to have gotten it right.

BUT upon arriving at the golf course, the skies had cleared, and 14 SOS players were eager for the final battle to earn a spot among the last 8 finalists.

 

Andrea's Welsh, a bit of rain
doesn't deter her, and she's
equipped to the teeth.

Our usual "Die Hards", 
a special applause to Dave for his 
colourful beanie
and to Keith for his baby blue jacket.

Opponents Andrea & Gerry,
with photobomber Earle
plus a bit of sun coming through

Gooooochy! Who is that other bloke?
Easy guess...his brother...
and Shelley chipmunking 😀

Greg doesn't take a chance
and gets into his rain gear

Birgit & Keith, will she be able 
to take advantage of her (too many)strokes?

Peter?
Yep that's Peter prepping the 
full-body rain suit for his bag

Toastie Coops is back!
He claimed that it was
his first toastie in 4 weeks.
😉😉😉

DURING THE GAME

Goochy trying to put in his drive 

Goochie's nephew Sam on #3
putting successfully for birdie!

Look at that cute bird nest...only it's not 
a nest it's Peters 2nd hit on #2
No reports on how he got it out of there.

Tom on #14 with a difficult lie,
standing on the edge of the little lake

Masterfully chipped onto the green.

That's how the pro Yani Tseng
mastered a difficult one: take off your shoes
and get your feet wet

Do we wish to have a caddy?
Nope, ask Gardy why not. 😆

#8 Tom is measuring out
the dropping point for his ball
sitting under the green tree

Earle: Did anyone see my ball?

Last but not least, group selfie at hole #18
Birgit, Earle, Tom & Keith
