16 SOS’lers and three of Kristian’s plus 2 of Gardy's mates made the trip to the countryside to battle it out for the Country Cup — or perhaps they simply fancied a stroll around a beautiful golf course! ⛳️

| What a gorgeous place! 💖💖💖 |
BEFORE THE GAME
 |
| Boris trying to get to grips with the unfamiliar scorecard. |
 |
| Derek calculating his strokes as well |
 |
| Kristian and his buddies |
 |
| Gardy & Earle |
 |
| What may look like a photo from the Covid era, is actually a warm “hello and welcome back” to President Gerry! |
 |
| Look who is back on the putting green for the first time since his leg surgery a few weeks ago. |
DURING THE GAME
 |
| Bridge, barrier, Tee-off on the other side? Not rocket science! Park your cart and walk over to the other side. |
 |
| Peter's weird choice of a club... |
 |
| Fortunately, he changed his mind and used his 9-iron to chip the ball out onto the fairway |
Indeed, it’s a challenging course!
 |
| "PLOP" 😏😆😖 |
 |
| What we need are floating balls. |
 |
| Earle in trouble |
 |
| Peter... |
 |
| ...on a successful... |
 |
| ... fishing expedition... |
 |
| Peter, pls don't take it that far though... |
 |
| ... you might end up with more balls than you bargained for. |
 |
| Grizzly is happy to be back! |
AFTER THE GAME
 |
| Oupsie! Luckily the proshop had a well-equipped fridge with beers, mixers & softdrinks. |
The results
Kristian won his first SOS cup with a perfect score of 36 points, closely followed by Maureen and Lynley both with 34 points.
The unlucky fourth, Shelley, lost her place on the podium on countback.
 |
| The podium |
Only 3 birdies ✌
Kristian on #2
Paul B on #3
Gim, with a great shot out of the bunker on the 18th.
What were the chances that two of the three players with a birdie were the winner and the lollie bearer?
and the novelties:
5 novelties, 5 different winners. 💪👏
NP #2 the one and only Gary B
NP #4 Gary again, followed by Lynne, beaten by Tom
Closest in 3 #8 Gary, beaten by Lynne
NP # 11 the one and only Paul B
NP #15 the one and only Kristian
 |
| Paul B. shouting out the fines, collecting the impressive sum of $ 54.25 |
