O versus S
So after much deliberation, here is the draw for tomorrow. This is the team who will do the business. In the words of Gene Krantz, mission controller for Apollo 13, Failure Is Not An Option.
​
Remember tee off is 12:30 pm and don't forget after the match there is a meal on offer in the clubhouse for $22.
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
In the words of Elton John the sun did go down just a little bit yesterday. It started off nice and warm but by half way most were reaching for that extra layer placed earlier in their golf bag. At least the rain didn't fall. All in all a great day for golf with no excuses.
​
By this time next week, the US Presidential election will be done and dusted. As our favourite Aussie half back screamed at the All Blacks in the 2003 RWC semi-final, we will know if it's 4 more years of the Democrats or 4 more years of Trump. Either way, the fun begins this time next week.
Here we see our President showing his own colours - Nice.
And So To The Results
A Popularity Contest
It was October 11th this time last year we saw this picture with Neil wearing the Blue Jacket. Yesterday he put the field to the sword being 4 points ahead of his nearest rival. Steady was the word to best describe Neil's round. With 12 pars and 6 bogies on his card, a 77 off the stick was a great effort. Well done Neil.
​
In the sixes, it came down to fine margins. The winners received a warm round of applause given the poularity of their wins. First up to get everyone cheering in delight, we had TK, Vaughn, Geoff and Richard wandering off into the sunset with 31 points. It's always good to win that first one as you're then playing with other people's money. In the second round, more cheering and applause as Duncan, Alistair, David Peart and a fast finishing Phantom scored 44 points. Finally no surprise that another Phantom teamed up with Neil, John Marsh and Tony to score 54 points for the final set.
​
Talking of cheering, everyone was delighted to see Deano win the raffle.
Let's Go To Balclutha
As Eric correctly pointed out, it was very generous of the newest recruit to the Wednesday ranks Kallum to shout for his birthday yesterday. Reaching the grand old age of 61, we celebrated in the usual way and all sang happy birthday. Thanks again Kallum, trust you enjoyed a great birthday and got some really nice cards and presents.
​
Finally only 2 birdies coupled with 39 points was enough for Richard to bag the Swinger's Trophy. Enjoy Balclutha.

And that was another Wednesday.
