Well how lucky were we. The weather forecast was for showers in the morning and rain in the afternoon, other than a small shower in the afternoon we had a good day to play golf. 72 players took to the course in the 2 Person Ambrose event. Last Wednesday after golf, the Men’s Committee meet after a lot of complaints about the condition of the bunkers. There is nothing worse than hitting a ball into the bunker and when you get to the bunker your ball is in a huge footprint which hasn’t been raked out. So the action we are taking is, If a player is seen playing a shot or even picking a ball up out of a bunker and not raking the bunker to a good standard then he may be Disqualified from the days event. We understand that Social players can leave bunkers in a bad condition, but we do not want to have our Members leaving a bunker in a bad state.
Winners were Wayne Muir and Michael Kemp playing off 5 1/4 NETT score 60 3/4 runners up Brian Brown and Joe Lehkyj playing off 8 with a NETT score 63 C/B..
Ball rundown went to NETT 70.

Joke of the day
The Pope met with the college of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Shimon Peres, the former leader of Israel. “Your Holiness,” said one of the Cardinals, “Mr.Peres wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are superior by challenging you to a golf match”. The Pope was greatly disturbed as he had never held a golf club in his life. “Not to worry,” said the Cardinal, “We’ll call America and talk to Bubba Watson. We’ll make him a Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres … We can’t lose! Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made and of course, Bubba was honored and agreed to play. The day after the match, Watson reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of his success in the match. “I came second your Holiness”, Watson said. “Second!?!” exclaimed the surprised Pope. “You came in second to Shimon Peres?” “No”, Watson said, “Second to Rabbi Spieth”.
