Spring Cup Round 2 and Sausage Sizzle

What a day!



Round 2 of the Spring Cup



President's Birthday




Sausage Sizzle




Probably the hottest day of the year so far




And the Eagles in an elimination final




Not to mention the Rugby




And now, by popular request, another round of 

So, guess the pants. The answer is at the "bottom" of the blog. 





Richard Yeo back in business




And cakes!!



Hope you didn't miss it. 






The golf was good, but bear this in mind..




Thomas bagged an eagle on the 10th. 


Not content with a mere birdie

Gim fined herself for not doing anything wrong.



Then went on to win the raffle

Shelley needs final numbers for the Spring Cup by September 26th at the very very latest.



AND - our contributions for the Golden Hole and the Eagle's Nest never add up. If you're ticking your name off in the columns, put your cash in the jar. Last chance before the first ball is played, no late contributions. 













The Golden Hole remains unclaimed for another week:

Thomas' amazing first round gave him an unassailable lead as it turns out..




Well done, a great trophy win. 






So, we celebrated Vickie's birthday at Perry Lakes. 



And for her birthday, she got one of these:



Pretty flash, huh. And just a word of warning...










Some pretty good snag wrangling from Earle and his trusty sidekick Malcolm.









And some memories of a memorable afternoon...
















 Another great sausage sizzle. Special thanks to Thomas for organising it and getting all the drinks, Tui for the great potato salad, Frances for buying the sausages and buns, Steph for the great kiwi coleslaw, Brenda for the scrumptious rocket, walnut and pear salad, Gary for the Greek salad with a twist, Vickie for the amazing cakes and everyone else who contributed. 


 And now..



There..you guessed it.

Spring Cup, Round 1







Aaah, the joys of Spring.
Feeling confident


Put away all that wet weather gear, this is the rest of the year.

Photo taken by my assistant. Not too bad.
What do you mean, not too bad?





Perfect golfing weather.

After all this practice, I hope to get the opportunity to chip on somewhere.

Slow play wasn't a problem.



The only way your ball is going to get wet is an ill-placed shot on the 5th.

(Why is it always the nice new ball?)



Which reminds me, Peter would like us to know that he now has ducks.



Some confusion with the cards today. It appears on newer cards, the ladies indices have been changed. Some of us had new cards, some of us had old ones. Fortunately, today was a stroke competition, so Vickie and Lynne will work it all out later.

I'm leaving it to Vickie


Golden Hole goes off! Congratulations to Stephanie.





Wonder what plans she has for the $122.

Better warn Barry, she's pretty high maintenance. The car, I mean.


So, how did we go on the other novelties?

You never know, today might be the day.



Watch the weather forecast this week. Sausage sizzle after Round 2 next week if the weather looks good.

I reckon you need a calculator

BIG REMINDER from Club Captain. Let the person doing the sheet know before 5pm Wednesday if you're not going to play, otherwise you forfeit your payment. And you should be paying one week in advance - ie this Saturday, you are paying for next Saturday. No freeloading.

Need a bit of discipline around here

Birthdays - Paul and Thomas.



Remember, if you want to see the results looking all official, they're in the West Australian every Monday - Look for "SOS Wembley", just before the "US Masters".






Thanks to Charmaine for her generous sponsorship of today's competition. Seems like she made sure she wasn't going to win her own prize.

I knitted it myself.




Apparently, after being on the green in 2 on the 5th, Charmaine managed to putt into the water. Roland claims she shouted at him to "say something!".

Vickie prepared for big fines, and a good spread on the raffle numbers. 

Now, for the results:

Thomas looking in pole position for the Spring Cup - do you reckon he's just teasing when he says he can't make it next week?
65? Beat that!
