Anniversary Cup

After freaking out about a 35 degree day, it was sort of ...strange. 

Sheltering in the shade before the first tee

A bit warm at times, a bit cool at others. A bit of rain, some thunder, humid and then not humid. 

Some strange results too, with some absurdly bad scores. (I'm blaming my new pants). 

And who's shoes?

I mean, if you can't win the lollies with 85, what's the world of golf coming to. 

The more I practice, the luckier I get

Birthdays - Carol has one coming up this week. Happy Birthday, Carol

Ian gives Kerry some hints on how to win the lollies

Good to see Gary back and looking fit, we'd missed his stentorian tones reading out the results. Looking forward to seeing you back on the course, Gary. 

And now, the novelties

Next week, Christmas cheer at Shelley and Malcolm's after the game. 

It's on Bishop Street in Jolimont (not Daglish at all). Kings Apartments, opposite the bright blue building. Take the lift from Basement to Ground Floor, they're in Apartment 100.

One of them has to go in..

One for little sister

Many thanks to Richard Osborne for sponsoring the prize today, and to Frances for keeping it in the family. Just to make sure we monopolised the prizes, I managed to win the raffle too. 

Congratulations to Frances - her first ever trophy at SOS. (Apparently it's still with Ciaran, but will be back soon). And here's a thought for the day:

And in another first, there wasn't a single committee member amongst the raffle winners. What happened?

Ross' shoes

 See you all next week. 

Ambrose Fours

Going incognito today, keeping the shades on

Threatened to be really hot, but wasn't too bad. (Maybe chugging around in the carts helped - there seemed to be a fair few booked today). 

A big thanks to Steph and Shelley for all the work in organising the dinner last week. Shelley's keen to hear any feedback you may have about the evening (she already knows it was noisy). 

Trophy or bust today

Having trouble with those drives and putts? Try this course:

Christmas Cheer, now definitely on December 16th, after the game. It'll be at Shelley and Malcolm's, she will distribute details of where and how, but its Kings Apartments, which are on Bishop Street in Daglish. 

Ain't nothing gonna stand in our way

And just to be fair, here's a cartoon especially for Roland:

For those of you desperate for a laugh, there's a translation at the end of the blog. 


Each person who comes to the Christmas Cheer will bring a wrapped present for Secret Santa - guide price $10-$20. Regifting is fine (actually it's encouraged). 

Richard Yeo's (successful) strategy for winning a golf ball

Here's a practice drill one of the pro's at Wembley recommends for getting those putts straighter:

Congrats to Greg for picking up the B Grade Championshi

Here are the novelties for today. 

	NOVELTY	HOLE	CONTENDERS	WINNER

	LD Girls	6	Lynne	Rita
	LD Boys	6	Richard O	Peter
	LD Girls	17	Lynne	Shelley
	LD Boys	17	Richard O	Ian
	Golden Hole	12		Frances

And the Golden Hole won by Frances which had jackpotted to $46.

Jan would like you all to know that this is the length of her p

  

The competition was Ambrose Fours, that irresponsible game where you can rely on someone else to do a decent drive and get on to the green. Generally, we relied on Lynne. 

	Roland Graeme Charmaine Don	59.375
	Frances Carol Earle Ian	59.25
	Malcolm Shelley John Keith	57.75
	Thomas Brenda Ron Rita	56.625
	Greg Dave Richard O Janette	56
	Derek Peter Richard Y Lynne	55.5

Never in any doubt

The fines through the month of November raised $150 for the diggers, a great result, well done everyone. The proposal is to donate to the Kings Park Honour Avenue Group, which is a committee of the Highgate RSL. 

Ah well, there's always next week

 Translation: There's something Edward hasn't quite understood about how this mini golf works.
