Joke of the day

I recently spent $6,500 on this registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn’t even look at a cow. I began to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth. Anyway ….. I had a Vet come and take a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day. The bull started to service the cows within two days …… all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all my neighbors cows. He’s like a “MACHINE.” I don’t know what in the pills the Vet gave him …. but they kind of taste like peppermint.

MENS GOLF WEDNESDAY 21/12/22

Well it was a day of 2 halfs. The morning field had the better of the day, with a gentle breeze, while the afternoon nearly got blown of the course, but even though, the scores weren’t too bad. With a field of 80, 22 players played to their handicap or better.

I’d take this time to wish all golfers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, don’t drink and drive, you might spill it, make sure you finish your drink first.

Today we had a Single Stableford, 2 Divisions, and we had 2 Visitors, Wayne Lloyd from Ballina G.C. and Bryan Cody from Russell Vale G.C. Hope you had a good day.

Joke of the day.

Three men decided to play golf on Christmas Eve. On the 18th hole, one of their drives went down a steep hill and came to rest at the edge of a cliff. The golfer couldn’t reach his ball as it was very near the cliff. The men decided to hold onto each other’s belt loops and form a human chain to retrieve the ball. In reaching for the ball, all three men went over the cliff and died. They get to the pearly gates and St.Peter feels awful. It’s so sad you all died on Christmas Eve, so to make up for it, I’ll let you into Heaven if you have anything on you that represents a symbol of Christmas. The first man checks his pocket and pulls out a lighter. St.Peter asks, “What is that supposed to symbolize?” The man replies, “It’s the flame of a Christmas candle.” St.Peter acknowledges it and let’s him through. The second man sweats a little and says, “Oh, here we have it, my keys, they jingle just like Christmas bells.” St.Peter nods and waves him through. The third man searched desperately through his pockets and finally pulls out a pair of sexy women’s panties. St.Peter raised his eyebrows and asked. “And just how is that a symbol of Christmas?” The man replied, “They’re Carol’s.” St.Peter says, “Welcome to heaven.”

MENS GOLF SATURDAY 17/12/22

Beautiful day for a game. A little bit of overnite rain, which will help the new renovated greens. It has been a couple of years since we have have a heavy Reno, and this will do the greens good. It’s has been great work by the green staff to get the work done and get us back on the course.

Today’s event was a Single Stableford. All money won today has been allocated to your cards. All points on your card must be redeemed or used by December 31, or you will lose them. A few weeks ago I stated that you had to use them by Christmas eve but this year it has been extended out to New Years Eve. So make sure you use them and make sure you don’t lose them.

There is no Competition play next Saturday (Christmas Eve) but ive been told that if anyone wants to have a game, be at the Island House by 9am and some of the guys are going to play a $5 Winner take all game. So turn up and have some fun.

We are still running a Single Stableford on Wednesday which will be the last competition for the year of 2022. Our first competition back is Wednesday 4th January 2023.

As by now you would have known that I will not be restanding for the position as Captain. So the Position of Captain is Vacant. As you know we need to fill the position of Captain, so we need some one to stand up and fill this spot. If you have a group of that will come in and make your own Committee to do the job all the better. I will be here for a bit of time, and I and Wayne Muir will assist to help you along the way. So think about it and let Wayne or myself know if you can do the job.

Wayne Muir and Myself, would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy and safe New Year.

Results for today.

Division 1. Michael Kemp (7) 39pts. Runnerup Dave Killion (6) 38pts.

Division 2. Steve Salter (33) 41pts c/b. Runnerup Jack Fedden (26) 41pts.

Ball rundown went to 35pts.

Joke of the Day

Two guys grow up together, but after college one moves to Georgia and the other to Texas. They agree to meet every ten years in Florida to play golf.

At age 32 they meet, finish their round of golf and head to lunch. “Where you wanna go?” “Hooters.” “Why Hooters?” “They have those servers with big boobs, tight shorts and gorgeous legs.” “You’re on.”

Age 42, they meet and play golf again. “Where you wanna go for lunch?” “Hooters.” “Again? Why?” “They have cold beer, big screen TVs, and side action on the games.” “OK.”

At age 52 they meet and play again. “So where you wanna go for lunch.” “Hooters.” “Why?” “The food is pretty good and there is plenty of parking.” “OK.”

At age 62 they meet again. After a round of golf, one says, “Where you wanna to go?” “Hooters.” “Why?” “Wings are half price and the food isn’t too spicy.” “Good choice”.

At age 72 they meet again. Once again after a round of golf, one says, “Hooters.” “Why?” “They have six handicapped parking spaces right by the door, and they have senior discounts.” “Great choice.”

At age 82 they meet and play again. “Where should we go for lunch?” “Hooters.” “Why?” “Because we’ve never been there before.” “Okay, let’s give it a try!”
