First of all Bon Voyage to Malcolm and Shelley! See you in the new year. Welcome back to Kerry and Peter.

We had an interesting game of golf on Saturday.  Not to be outdone by Brett and his colourful underwear, Mardi split her pants to show us that purple is the colour of the month.

Beat this Brett!

Then there was golf!  

It was a day of great golf with eyebrow raising scores. The best of the best came out of the crop.

I thought my score of 38 stood a chance in third position, but boy was I wrong! It rained birdies on Brett's Clubs.

COUPLES AFTER GOLF!

Memorial & Masters Stroke Play ,Wembley Tuart Course Saturday 15th November 2014

Beautiful weather made for a great game of golf. My first shot was a disaster not being familiar with playing in the first group and had no idea what it meant to move the markers.  Thanks to Christine's advice or else I would have been disqualified on the second hole already.  Talking about disqualification, the Captain made sure he was in the same team as Bruce.  All I could think about was OMG poor Bruce, because the Captain hits his shot and runs the rest of the course, scared that somebody is going to roll up the fairways! Bruce being Bruce made sure that his set up was correct before hitting the ball perfectly into the water on the 9th hole.  Well that was not enough, he had to prove that he could do it three times in a row and walked off with  "10" shots on a Par 3!  Satisfied with himself for making a proper disaster of the hole he walked onto the 10th Tee Box. Drove the ball to somewhere where No Man Has Ever Been! and that lead to his decision to disqualify himself.  Good call My Friend!

Sorry members not much news this week as I did not play on Saturday.  I did however attend the nineteenth hole for a few photos and results of the day and perhaps I had a drink or two! Telling by the faces of the players as they entered the club, it was a challenging day for many and others again had an extraordinary day.  I am so proud of our President with all the tasks on hand, filling in for Kerry and Peter, she managed to hit an eagle on the 14th hole and a birdie on the 12th.  Well done!

Mardi and Bruce brought along two guests this week, who kept us entertained.  I have never felt so short standing next to the two meter giant Gordon! Oh and the other is a South African named David!  Now there are two of us!

Gross scores of our Guests:
David  88 (Great game)
Gordon  105 (Ummmmm) must have been hot up there at two meters!

The LADIES Team!
Rosslyn, Charm, The President and Wolper!

When I saw who I was teamed up with, I thought I am in a bad situation, after all my comments I gave our lovely President, Shelley, last week on the blog. I was awaiting that Hammer to come out of her bag LOL. What an enjoyable day we had, I actually got to see Shelley laugh a bit. Rosslyn was the player of the day, saving our team on the last hole when he hit a perfect birdie with a cricket swing! Well done Stirrer.

The Yellow Peril Game must be the most nerve wrecking game, as all eyes are set on the player with that damn yellow ball.  I was on the green in one on the 15th hole and was shaking so badly that I could not sink the ball for a par.  I saw the disappointment in my team members eyes, probably thinking there she goes again! The rest of the SOS Players seemed to have enjoyed the game. The Captain provided balls called "Cougar" no wonder he won! You need Lady balls to do the trick!

We enjoyed the company of another visitor this week called "Richard" Frances's brother.  I am sure we entertained him more than his hockey players that he coaches.  Hope to see him back soon!

Look at their beautiful "blue eyes" oops I
think they blew away

What an interesting day of golf.  Stangers teamed up with the Freemans! I still have neck spasms from keeping my head down and then up to look at Mardi. It is like an ant and a Giraffe.  Mardi known for her strength in hitting the ball, poor me had to try and keep up all day, but alas I was not that far behind.  The Freemans started off like a couple sooooo in love but after the eleventh hole they were like the rest of us. Mardi fed up with Bruce playing his own game called "Tree to Tree Golf".  What a laugh we had, especially as we were in the last group we knew we were only holding up the groups in the club house.  Serves you right Mr Pope for putting me in the last group again!  The faces when we finally arrived at the club was priceless and the comments even better, imagine wanting to fine us for slow play wth!!! I was not even allowed to buy something to eat as the hammer slammed on the table for us to sit down! back to school again!!!!
Brett brought along a visitor who put us all to shame with a net score of 66!  Well done Mr Brett's Visitor (sorry forgot his name)

Wembley Golf Course on Saturday 18th October 2014

We had an interesting day of golf. It was the slowest game ever,taking five hours to finish the round.
Trying to play with flies circling our faces and dark clouds threatening to wash out the game for the entire 18 holes, did not make it a fun day.  Well being teamed up with Nola, Steve and Roland, we made sure there would be something to laugh about. Nola and I decided to accept their challenge of $1 per hole. According to us girls we had won, but the men refused to pay us. Wonder why? Meeting up with the other players on the T-Boxes, we knew we weren't the only ones highly irritated by the slow play. Exhausted and irritated after a long day, I could not wait for an ice cold beverage.

We were in the club house relaxing when we heard the load noise and thought it was the sound of the massive raindrops, but instead it was hail stones the size of marbles covered the entire golf course within minutes.  It looked like "winter wonderland".  We were told to evacuate the club house, as the roof could collapse.  The rain was pouring through the light fittings and parts of the club completely flooded.  What a sight! Golfers running to take cover, people running to their cars and children sliding on the ice on the eighteenth hole on the old course.
WHAT A DAY!
