SATURDAY AMBROSE — PRIZE REPORT
A Great Weekend of Ambrose
What a way to finish off the weekend! After the championship, it was great to see everyone getting stuck into a good game of Ambrose, with plenty of laughs, some quality golf and, naturally, a few moments that were probably best not included on the scorecard.
Congratulations to all our winners and thanks to everyone who got out there and enjoyed the day. There were some very nicely placed pins and some seriously tough tee box locations, which certainly added a little extra spice to proceedings.
A big welcome back to Brendon Willoughby, who has rejoined as a playing member. Great to see you back, Brendon!

Kemp Creek — One Man, One Creek, One Very Nervous Pair of FootJoys
A special shoutout to Michael Kemp, who successfully navigated Kemp Creek without actually falling in. It was a close one, though.
It certainly helps when you don’t hit the side fence.
Unfortunately, the local wildlife weren’t quite as impressed with Michael’s approach as we were last week. Their home took a bit of a battering, and the FootJoys and socks apparently decided they were perfectly happy taking on the landscaping department as well.
Thankfully, Michael survived, the creek remained where it belonged, and the wildlife will hopefully have forgiven us by next weekend.
A Bit of Ricochet Trouble
In other news, a big shoutout to Bill Mann, who managed to take a knock to the eyebrow courtesy of a ricochet from a teammate’s shot.
I hope all is well, Bill, and that you didn’t require too many stitches! That’s certainly one way to make sure your teammate remembers to yell “FORE!” — although preferably a little earlier next time.

Thanks again to everyone who played, helped out and contributed to another enjoyable day at the club. Plenty of good golf, plenty of questionable decisions and, thankfully, no one permanently claimed ownership of Kemp Creek.
One Final Note
If you don’t like the daily rules displayed on the A-frame, please don’t take it upon yourself to write over the signage.
To the member who did this: if you don’t like the rules, don’t play — or, better yet, be an adult and actually come and talk to me about it. My door is always open to hear your complaints, and if you want to be Captain then be my guest.
That’s the end of it.
Men’s Captain
Patrick
