Stableford

All smiles at the early stage of the game

An early start on the Tuart, and another kind format for those of us with the higher handicaps.

We welcomed back as guest Kevin Scott, with a 92 off the stick, and Judith Montogomery with a 131.

Kerry reminds us she still has two tickets for the Gala Golf Dinner, and our President and Captain will be hosting a barbecue from 3.00 p.m. onwards on Sunday 27^th January 2013, a sort of late house warming and all are welcome.

Address is : 54 McCombe Avenue, Samson, 6163. 

Can you please let Kerry know if you can come, so she have an idea of numbers, and apparently there is a pool for those of you who want to get your kit off!

And seeing as Shelley wasn't there to have her photo taken with her prize, that's a good excuse for a picture of some other happy golfers.

Two ball, better ball

 Today was a hot one, and we're not talking about the golf.

We bad a warm welcome to Pat, Judith and Kevin as our guests for the day - Judith shot a 126 and Kevin 97 off the stick. Pat wisely decided he had nothing to prove and nineholes was plenty.

A reminder that annual fees are now due - doesn't it come round quickly? Our paper work is all in order, and our application to be incorporated is now with the relevant government department.

New Year's Cup

Apparently it was hot. Very hot.

There were those who complained that Paul was playing off a lady's handicap - hence the pink shirt. He claims it's "coral". You be the judge.

Final results:

Judith 70
Shelley 69
Paul 68

One more for the mantelpiece, Paul.

Stableford

It took a countback to determine the winner, with Earle hitting a seven on the last to keep the competition open to the end.
Greg and Phil joined Earle on the podium, with 37 points all round.  Thanks to Judith for the photo.

Christmas Cup and Christmas Cheer

And you thought you had a bad lie!

 Shelley nestled against the tree on the sixth. I'd love to say she got up and down from there, but she didn't!

Never mind.
Many thanks to Vickie and Earle for their hospitality at Wilton Place - as always, a very enjoyable pre-Christmas event.

We welcome Debbie as a member, and not before time apparently, with some magnificent drives from the tee today.

Sad to lose the following members, who will not be renewing next year:

Ric Evans
Steve Shyrock
Mike and Christine
Megan Jubb
David Ross

We'll miss you all - do stay in touch via the blog, and join us as a guest if you're back in town.
 
Good to see Gary back, and thanks for showing everyone that gruesome video with the needle going into your knee - a treat all round, Gary.  
 
And our heartiest congratulations to David and Toni, after a very special day last Saturday.
 
Today's results:
