New Year's Cup 2017

Sponsored by Tricky Dickie Osbourne.

And so it was time for the first cup of the New Year, and what did the day have in hold for us????

As the weather was fine for the start, though according to the WeatherMan we were due for some rather windy conditions as the end,,,

Only time will tell,,,,, so read on and find out xx

I feel it is my duty to mention to those that were absent, that it was Wifey's Birthday Weekend.

The guy on the right was Shaun from Nobu for our GORGEOUS teppanyaki meal on Sunday night,,,,,

pity i didn't focus in on the 'Happy Birthday' salt-writing a bit better,,,,, must've been something to do with all the cocktails!!! 

We also had a visitor by the name of Roger from Guildford, who had the joy of playing in the same group as myself.

I was on my best behavior, due to the Birthday Weekend and Saturday night plans which i hope didn't put him off with my normality.

Though i did subject him to a few wonder shots, including a 10 on a par 5,,,,, with 8 of the shots being played with my usually trusty putter,,,, heheheheheeeee






So what indeed did happen????


The Results
Well, for a man who said he had a shocker, funnily enough backed up by his team mates the winner was:-

Well done to Ciaran for winning yet another cup (think it's 6!) in his first year at the club!

Enjoy it while it lasts fella,,,,,, whoop whoop!

Foolchild!

Stiff-- for being strangely grumpy after losing to the sober Dry OirishMan
Just look at her sad face,,,

Vickie-- as normal there are a couple of Fines for the lovely Vickie
(1) Being an Angry Bird for launching the lollies at Poor ol Peter,,,,,, great arm tho!!!
(2) For stating that "Colin's not here" when he was sat there listening attentively a mere 2 foot away on the next seat.

Ahhhhh bless,,,,,,,

Stiff-- after being grumpy then sneezing and sliming poor old Stan the Man

Paul-- for getting the 10 on the par 5,,,,,, but more importantly winning the bets, winning the raffle and thanks to Horsey Phil winning on the gee-gees.

Last Game of 2016

Sponsored by the sociable but slightly roguish BlogMeister.

And so it is the Return of the Blog for the last game of 2016.

though i have to say it will be quite a short one, as very few photos were taken, and to be honest there isn't a great deal of info or fines to report.

Now that's not to say we didn't all have a great day,,,, but i reckon it was the 'calm before the storm' for the New Year's Eve Festivities.

I hope you all saw it in with true Aussie/Kiwi/English/German/Irish/South African fashion!!!!!!

Boy we are a multi-cultural club aren't we????

What i can report is Keith & Carol's 3rd cards were recorded,,,,, and we welcome them to the SOS, with open arms and empty beer glasses.

So please feel free to 'look after' the Committee,,,,, especially the BlogMeister.




And what else is there to report, what other important news do we have for you????

,,,,,,,,, only the matter of:- 

Brett Pretty Boy Fordham v Paul The Pickled Gardner 

in 

 Battle for the Bottle 

(aka lowest handicap for 2016)

It came down to not only the last game of the season, where we were both on exactly the same handicap, but also to whatever was going to 'drop off' our GolfLink scores as poetically we both scored the same amount of stableford points on Saturday.

And it gives me awesome please to announce that The Pickled One came out the winner!!!!

Waaaahhhhaaaaayyyyyyyy,,,,,, "Get them in son,,, you're buying fella!!!"

So now i suppose those that didn't play might want to know what happened on the day,,,,, 

The Results

Since my scoring staff weren't available i have to rely purely on my memory, which you all know is shocking, and as such will be far from complete, but i can announce with a splendid score the winner is:-

A marvellous score of 42 points!

WELL PLAYED MATE

2nd-- Paul via countback with Brett

3rd-- Brett via countback

Other Comments (as there are no Fines of the Week)

El Presidente proudly mentioned that a donation of $200, as collected from the fines in November, was donated to the Honours Avenue Foundation
for the Remembered Armed Forces.
Great effort people, and thanks from all for digging deep.

Malcolm-- look at this good looking rooster in his youthful aeronautical prime.
Guess how old he is?
Answers will be revealed on sat

Glen-- for propelling his away round the golf course by wind power alone.

Stan-- for gibbering/talking/wittering for the entire 18 holes, and then disappearing early before we could get our own back in the bar.

Ambrose

Sponsored by SOS


Well,,, well,,, well it's that time of the year again for the fun part and the great game that is Ambrose!!!

What team will we be in, we awaited anxiously for the list to come out and be published???

And what a result! 

I had the pleasure of the lovely Yeo's and Ze German.

And boy did we have a blast,,,, laughing, drinking and smirking throughout the entire round.

Though i have to say that Ze German was a little 'flustered' to say the least when he first arrived as he was running a little late!

But he soon calmed down as my Deutsch sprechen flooded back to me, Haben Haussen..... 

Alles ist gut.





Halfway through the round we got a message explaining what Pretty Boy Fordy was up to.

Plundering the seven seas as he appeared to reel in monster lobster after monster lobster.

Let's hope this wasn't a real Fisherman's Tale eh????

And there was a big Welcome Back to the Paul Mysterious Kingy,,,,, 

good to see ya back mate, it's been too long!













So what happened out there on the course????

Fines of the Week
Not a massive amount of fines today as i had to run away a bit early due to meeting the lovely Ron & Rita at Leederville for an evening of fun, frolics & festivities. 

We dined at Low Key Chow House,,,,,,, and i honestly can't recommend it any higher! 

Best Asian meal i've had ever!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmm i'm salivating again,,,,,

And we bumped into Tony & Cherie who were wandering the streets of Leederville aimlessly.

Anyway,,, on with the fines

Gary-- for wanting to be called the Phantom after lasts weeks collapsing exploits.

Shelley-- for not liking my Team Name of 'Yeo Mudderfkr'

Paul-- for a particularly poor example of off-road driving of the cart and 'parking' it in a tree, so that it wouldn't move.
The bloody GPS not allowing me to go forward or back!! Heheheheeeeee

Shelley-- for running away early to go to a Baby Shower,,,, and looking a bit sad about it.

And that's it folks,,,,,,, just time for a couple of random pics with me in them of course,,,

More drinking with Ze German

Who said The Brits & Germans can't be friends?

See ya all next week!

Stableford Comp

Sponsored by El Presidente Shelley Yeo.

Well what a beautiful day it was as 20 of us set out for a game of Stableford.

Maybe the start of Spring has finally Sprung and the good weather could finally be here,,,,

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE

Spirits were high, and the hangovers were slight as we sauntered out to play.

Some however came more prepared than others,,,,,,

No it wasn't the 'bacon fairy' for Tomothy today that helped him out,,,,,,

but he brought his girlfriend along to caddy and to drive for him!!!!

Lucky boy,,,,,

But did it work????

Some prefer not to play in the presence of their better half,,,, so it could easily go either way


The Results
So what happened then??????

Well the caddy clearly worked, as Tomothy not only brought home that slab of bacon,,,,

but a very happy missus,

and ANOTHER WIN!

Now we will need to check the records, but i believe that is the 

First Time in History that Somebody Has Won Three Weeks on the Trot!!!!! 

Top work buddy and enjoy the great form.

And the wonderful Gim won The Golden Hole and took home the massive amount of $38.

It must be noted that it was nearly a 'hole in one' as the spectators saw it lip out and ended a mere foot from the pin.

Fines of the Week

So to set the scene,,,, let's start with pretty much as soon as we got there as we all congregated around the payment table,,,,,

Vickie--  Unfortunately she was a little presumptuous by putting out completely the wrong cards, just a week early,,,,,,, 

An easy mistake to make, just a perfect Vicki-ism to start the day xxxx

Stan--  For coming last for the first time at SOS,,,, spitting the dummy and going home,,,, and not showing up to the dinner....

The last bit is pure fabrication, call it poetic license, as he was never down to come due to other commitments.

Earl--  For being the Clumsy Scarff, and spilling Brenda's coffee.

Brett-- For his impression of D'Artangnan, and for beating me on Saturday and taking me money.

Bloody French!!!! Heheeeeee

Richard--  For getting too excited over the raffle and 'blurting out'

Don--  For his great play and his luck with the raffle and taking home an evidently full sac of new balls.

Earl-- For a great rendition of the Loony Tunes 'That's All Folks' whilst trying to run the announcements

You've left the wrong bloody cards out Vickie

I always wanted to be a French Musketeer

Big box of goodies from the Annual Dinner put's a smile back on The Coach's face.
