What a terrible day yesterday was. Only 12 players turned out, not enough for a comp, so everyone that played gets a ball. See Barry to get your name crossed off.
The pro pin will hold over until next Wednesday, so if you paid your dollar your already in next week.
We will do the same for the raffle.
Saturday March 20 is our Annual General meeting, if you want to play golf before the meeting, it will be a mixed single Stableford , Shot gun start , hitting off at 8 o’clock , you must book a tee, get in quick as spots are going fast, only 80 maximum spots. The AGM meeting will start at 2pm.
While we have all this rain if we are allowed to use carts PLEASE drive on the fairways or paths, not in the rough or through bare patches, and always remember to fill your divots and any others you see. Lets keep the fairways looking great.

Joke of the day.
Every time Peter , the guy next door, headed toward Paul’s house, Paul knew he was coming to borrow something. Peter was always borrowing stuff and it was driving Paul mad.
” Peter won’t get away with it this time,” muttered Paul to his wife. “Watch this,”
“I wonder if you’ll be using your hedge trimmer this morning?” Peter asked.
“Crikey, i’m terribly sorry,” Paul said with a smug look , “but the fact of the matter is I’ll be using it all day.”
“In that case , you won’t be using your golf clubs …. Mind if I borrow those?”

Hit e’m straight and make those putts.

Well after that big storm during the night it was surprising to be able to get on the course with carts.
A very good field of 83 players took to the course which turned out to be quiet a hot day.
Winners today were Charlie Huff and Allan Danks with 44pts and runners up David Harrod and John Bryant had 43 getting up on count back.
It was a very close competition as 17 pairs scored between 44 and 40pts.
Ball rundown went to 40pts.
Nearest the pins Division 1, 2nd Nick Davis, 7th Wayne Hunter, 12th John Olsen and 16th Graham Hopkins. Division 2, 2nd Brendon Willoughby, 7th David Wallis, 12th Nathan Smith and 16th Nelson Brannigan. PRO pin John Olsen $ 72.
On the course please remember while driving in your cart stay out of the rough , it might not look wet in places but don’t take that chance, let the course dry . In carts stay 15m away from all greens , we don’t want the grass around the edges of the greens wearing away.

Joke of the day.

A hacker and his caddie embarked upon a round of golf early one morning. After countless bogeys, double bogeys and even a few “others”, the end of the round was finally in sight for the beleaguered golfer and his faithful looper.
On the 18th tee, the player hit a wild slice into the thick rough right of the fairway. After searching for what seamed like hours, the caddie stumbled upon a white dot in the tall fescue and waved his man over. “That can’t be my ball,” the golfer said. “It looks far too old.” “To be fair sir,” the caddie said, “it’s been a long time since we started looking.”

Joke of the day.
A wife waited patiently while her husband played a round of golf on their 18th wedding anniversary. Afterward, the happy couple went out to dinner at a lovely restaurant.
They discussed many happy momories they had shared during the years.
Then the wife said, “Want to go for another 18?.
“No,” he replied, “I think it’s too dark now.”
