There was much chatter around the booking table as Derek handed out the new SOS golf group shirts which are emblazoned with the name of our generous sponsor Lot Six Zero eatery and espresso bar !
There were no shortage of players willing to disport themselves in their new finery!
 |
| This should knock a few shots off our handicaps ! |
 |
| Our sponsor inspires us to a new level of excellence ! |
Many thanks to Derek for applying his considerable organisational skills to the production
of these new SOS Golf Group shirts.
 |
| Even our putting appears to have improved? |
 |
| What more can I say ? |
 |
| Colin Kerr and Greg Bennett - life members ! |
 |
| Glen Pope's generous sponsorship is gratefully acknowledged by SOS Golf Group ! |
As is not uncommon, the journey from 1st tee to the 18th hole did not all go smoothly for many players. Stephanie was particularly challenged on the 9th hole when her recovery shot from a sliced drive ended up in the hollow of a fallen tree trunk!
 |
| Are chainsaws a permitted accessory? |
 |
| Stephanie's 2nd shot on the 9th hole was unplayable, but she recovered well after taking a drop ! |
However, many excellent shots were made including Earle's tee shot on the 18th hole which came very close to a hole in one!
 |
| Another near 'hole-in-one' miss! |
However, it was Lynne Malone, who admitted to not having played for quite a while, that took the winners prize with very respectable net 70 on a 15 handicap!
 |
| Nice to be back from the holidays ! |
The results included 7 birdies, a considerable improvement on previous weeks . . . .

| Many new shirts in evidence as members gather for the results, fines and raffle ! |
 |
| The missed putt ! |
BTW, there was a report today of women stripping off in the car park. My first thought was this is the sort of club I want to be a member of.
Apparently it was something to do with the new shirts.
