We got through the day without any rain, but still a bit breezy.
When going from the 7th green and 16th tee, don’t take your Golf cart or Scooter between the mounds and the Green up the left hand side of the 16th fairway as you are wearing out a track and we will have big bare patches in no time. As before the 16th green was reopened, go right the way around the green and come up to the green from the right side or go around and come from the back of the green.
The Championship is now going to be played on Saturday September 10, 17,24 and October 8. I did not realise that the October 1 weekend was a long weekend. So this Saturday and October 8 will be also Monthly Medal days.

Joke of the day.
The argumentative drunk in the club bar had been looking for a fight all afternoon since losing his match. Finally he threw a punch at the player on the nearest bar stool. He ducked and the drunk, losing balance, fell off his stool and onto the floor. By the time he’d disentangled himself from the bar stools and dusted himself off, his opponent had left. “D’ya see that, barman?” He complained. “Not much of a fighter was he?” “Not much of a driver either, sir. He’s just driven over your clubs,” said the barman gazing out the window.
Hit em long and hit em straight
