Where we are!
Golf Poem
In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled, Rather Small.
Oh How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess,
The Awesome Strength It Doth Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.
My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same,
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.
It Rules My Mind For Hours On End,
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.
It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry,
And Hate Myself And Want To Die.
It Promises Me A Thing Called Par,
If I Hit It Straight And Far.
To Master Such A Tiny Ball,
Should Not Be Very Hard At All.
But My Desires The Ball Refuses,
And Does Exactly As It Chooses.
It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,
And Disappears Before My Eyes.
Often It Will Have A Whim,
To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.
With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,
It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.
Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,
If Only It Would Find The Hole.
It’s Made Me Whimper Like A Pup,
And Swear That I Will Give It Up.
And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,
But The Ball Knows … I’ll Be Back Tomorrow
Stand proud you noble swingers of club and losers of balls
A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud. Almost feels like a hybrid.

July Monthly Medal 3rd July 2010
Once again El Presidente shows off his skills with an excellent win at the July Monthly Medal. Our Monthly Medal winner is Andrew Petricola with a net 66 in wintry conditions. This now puts Andrew well and truly at the top of the championship table with 70 points 13 clear of the field. Oliver was only one shot behind and must have savoured the the Chicago-like conditions. Targe and Kazim both played to their handicaps to take out joint 3rd places.
Targe Mifsud goes through to the matchplay quarter finals as David Howard unfortunately had to forfeit.
Honor Board
Its been a long time coming but the honor board is now up at the clubhouse and looks sensational. Congratulations to the committee for organising this wonderful club artefact. It shows that we really have a strong club history we can be proud of.
