Yellow Peril

Sponsored by SOS.


And yes the Saturday Competition saw the return of that good old favourite, The Yellow Peril, and those horrible yellow balls --and i always thought 'cougars' were great things hehehehe,,,,




and to help us enjoy the festivities and chaos there was a big welcome back to Jodie for his annual game of golf.
If we could harness his power, and get the short game going he would be great addition to the club.



Great fun playing with ya buddy
















And then there was our other esteemed guest Janet, who was dragged along Stiff!




The girls before the chaos














and of course there was the return of the lovely Gim after the family being over,,,, well done Gim you survived! Hehehe




Mmmmm chips!














Unfortunately we had a faller even before we started as poor old Peter had a recurrence of his gout and was unable to hold a club.
Many of us know how you feel mate, so we all hope it gets better very soon and we see you swinging the bats again quickly!




Birthdays
It sneaked up on us but apparently Glen, our lovely Booking Officer, had a cheeky little celebration during the week.
So many Happy Returns fella!


RWC Update
And it's all over for another four years with the Mighty Kiwis defeating the Aussies in the Final.
Some tried to stay up for it to shout for their favoured team but the Kiwis were just too strong.



Well done and see ya at the next one!!

Well done to all the victors, and good to see husband and wife team The Gardner's on the scoreboard....


Golden Hole
Despite all the talent on show today, the Golden Hole only grew in funds as nobody threatened to take the jackpot.
Oh well there's always next week!


Quotes of the Week
A few good ones this week so please chuckle away:-

Richard O to me-- "Good to see you wearing your Halloween Mask already Paul,,,,!"





You're a cheeky man Tricky!!!!











Charmaine to Jodie-- "You're so hot, that's why you're mum calls you son"
Heheheheee


Vickie on Earl delegating the Captain's duties-- "You know, Earl is just like the Queen,,,,, except he's an Earl"
Absolute classic!


Fines of the Week
Unfortunately we weren't blessed by many memorable fines this week for some reason, and the Fines Jar took a little bit of a hit for a change.
Maybe the game inspired us to be a bit better behaved?
But there was the following:-

Earl-- Forgetting the Novelty Markers

Glen-- For coming dressed as The Yellow Peril (sorry guys i didn't get a proper pic of Glen being resplendent in his yellow outfit, but those who were there marvelled at the colour co-ordination of the shoes, shirt and cap!)



Earl, Charmaine, Paul & Jody-- As we all ended up in the bunkers on the 9th!!! Top grouping Team!


Next Week
Next week is the President's Trophy and we'll be playing a game of Stableford on the Old Course

Plus don't forget the Annual Dinner is coming up so look out for more details on The Blog.

SOS Cup round 2

Kindly sponsored by Richard Yeo.


It was a fine day for the second round of the SOS Cup, and some low scoring was expected.

We had a couple of Special Guests as Bernie brought along her fella, Farmer Matt all the way from Northam.





Now those that know Matt understand that he's not actually a fan of golf, so what dedication it was to see him driving the cart around!!
Good on ya Matt, you're a top bloke!


We also had the return of Tom for his second official round with SOS, we clearly haven't put him off yet, so a big welcome back to him!


The usual reprobates were hitting the driving range with gusto, 




See you can shorten that backswing babe.



And maybe i should lengthen mine, and straighten that front arm!


Just look at that set-up,,,, brilliant!




















whilst others were taking other precautions.





Have to say the hat suits you Derek.


Plus it was even better when you 'ambushed' Brett later that day, sneaking up on him through the bush.






Birthdays
The birthday cake award for this week goes to the lovely Fran. I do hope you will be getting spoiled tonight.



RWC Update
The expected happened with both NZ and Australia winning, though never without controversy. 

From the neutrals point of view, NZ just scraped over the line with a last minute dubious penalty and other suspicious decisions throughout the game
but that's rugby for good or bad.



So where's ya money guys? And who's gonna choke,,,,, oh how i wish it was 2007 heheheheh!






Roll on the weekend
