“WOW” what a hot day. The day started out perfect for a game, but by about noon it was really starting to heat up. Normally we get some nice breezes, but not today. The walkers suffered badly.
We had 83 starters today, with 1 Visitor who was, Wayne Stahlhut from Wauchope G.C. I hope to be having a hit there in about 3 weeks. It’s great seeing visitors playing here, and I hope he had a good day.
Next Saturday is our Monthly Medal and also our Medal of Medal day. The following players are the only ones to be able to win the Medal of Medals for the year 2022.
Terry Foster, Tony Blair, James Wood, David Killion, David Mills, Charles Huff, Brendon Willoughby, Nimai Strickland, Kyle Harrison, Michael Tink-Hornett, Wayne Woodford, Ken Culpitt, Kevin Bartlett, Brian Britton, Kim Hall, John McLoughlin, Joe Lehkyj, Ed Brierley, David Wallis, Mark James, Luke Chester, Stephen (Potholes) Smith, John Faust, and Nathan Simpson. Good luck to those players.
Today we had a Single Stableford, and thanks to Tim Black who was able to get our results out as Wayne Muir was away.

Joke of the day
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to the Super Bowl game. They had great seats right behind their teams bench. After the game he asked her how she liked it. “Oh, I really liked it,” she replied..”E specially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents. Dumbfounded, her boyfriend asked, “What do you mean?” “Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was ….. “Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!” “I’m like ….. Hellooooooo? “It’s only 25 cents!”
After a pretty good storm, and one massive lightening strike, we found the course nice and dry, and some good scores were recorded. The morning field had the better of the day, with First and Second in both Divisions showing the way.
Don’t forget that our AGM is on the 18th of March at 2pm. The golf for that day is a Mixed Single Stableford. It will be played with a Shotgun Start for 80 starters. If you want to play this day, you must book yourself or your group in.

Joke of the day
A small tourist hotel was all abuzz about an afternoon wedding, where the groom was 80 and the bride was 23. The groom looked pretty feeble and the feeling was that the wedding night might kill him, because his bride was a healthy, vivacious young woman. But lo and behold, the next morning, the bride came down the main staircase slowly, step by step, hanging onto the banister for dear life. She finally managed to get to the counter of the little shop in the hotel. The clerk looked really concerned, “Whatever happened to you, honey? you look like you’ve been wrestling an alligator!” The bride groaned, hung on to the counter and managed to speak, “Oh my God! He told me he’d been saving up for 65 years, and I thought he meant his money!!!.

Joke of the day
A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home she stops to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the assistant, “I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?” “About 32” is the reply. “No,” I’m exactly 50, the woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question. The girl replies, “I’d say about 29.” “No, I’m 50” the woman replies with a big smile. Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at another shop on the way home. She goes up to the counter to ask the assistant the same burning question. The assistant responds, “Oh, I’d say 30.” Again she proudly responds, I’m 50, but thank you!” While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question. He replies, “Madam, I’m 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then, I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are. She waits in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, “Oh bugger it, go on then.” He slips both hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast, and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other. After a couple of minutes of this, she says, “Okay, Okay …. How old am I?” He completes one last squeezes of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, “Madam, you are 50.” Stunned and amazed, the woman says, “That was incredible, how could you tell?” “I was behind you at McDonald’s.”

Joke of the day
Three virgin sisters were all getting married within a short time period. Mum was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started and made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on their first impressions of marital sex. The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but … “Nescafe”. Puzzled at first mum went to her kitchen and got out the Nescafe jar. It said, “Great from beginning to end.” Mum blushed, but was pleased for her daughter. The second girl sent the card from the Maldives a week after the wedding and the card read ….. “Rothmans.” Mum now knew to go straight to her husband’s cigarettes to read the pack, “Super strong King size.” Mum waited for a week, nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. A month passed, still nothing. A card finally arrived from Auckland from her third daughter, which was written with shaky hand, “Air New Zealand.” Mum took out her latest travel magazine, flipped through the pages fearing the worst and finally found the ad for Air New Zealand. It read … “Ten times a day, seven days a week, in all directions.” “MUM FAINTED.”

You look forward all week to get out and have a game of golf, but the rain gods decided to have a game themselves and try to ruin our day. Intermittent showers during the day tried to upset the day, but a very heavy downpour took out about 16 players, but the remainder battled through.
We had 88 players today with one Visitor who was Geoffrey Mount (Grandson of Kenny Mount) from Oxley GC.

Joke of the day
A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The Doctor comes in and says, “Ah, I see you’ve regained consciousness. Now, you probably won’t remember, but you were in a pile up on the freeway. You’re going to be okay, you’ll walk again and everything, but something happened. I’m trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your Willy was chopped off in the wreck, and we were unable to find it. The man groans but the Doctor goes on, “You’ve got $9,000 in insurance compensation coming to you, and we have the technology now to build you a new Willy that will work as well as your old one did, better in fact. But the thing is, it doesn’t come cheap, it’s $1,000 an inch.” The man perks up at this. “So the Doctor says, “it’s for you to decide how many inches you want, but it’s something you’d better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed, so it’s important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.” The man agrees to talk with his wife. The Doctor comes back the next day. “So,” says the Doctor, “have you spoken with the wife?” “I have,” says the man. “And has she helped you in making the decision?” asked the Doctor. “She has,” says the man. “And what is it?” Asks the Doctor. “We’re getting a new kitchen.”

I think we can all say that we have had enough with the strong winds. At stages I felt like I was going to be blown off the course.
We had a 4bbb today and as usual we had problems with the computer. One big issue was that cards were returned and no crosses were marked on the card. Every match you play you have to show a cross on the card as well as the stroke score and your Stableford score. With this not being done it made it very hard to do the results.

Joke of the day
A woman and a baby were in the Doctor’s examining room, waiting for the Doctor to come in for the baby’s first exam. The Doctor arrived , examined the baby, checked his weight, and seeing a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed. “Grass-fed,” she replied. “Strip down to your waist,” the Doctor said. She did. He pinched her nipples, then pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a detailed examination. Motioning her to get dressed, he said. ” No wonder this baby is underweight, you don’t have any milk.” “I know,” she said, “I’m his Grandma, but I’m glad I came.”
