Next Game Atherton 28 August

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Atherton.  This is the final stroke round for the year which, with the 2 rounds of the Championship, qualify for the Stanton Bailey trophy.

Owen tells me the course is in good condition,, with the greens a bit slower than they were for their Open, which will be a relief for some of us after the last couple of games!

I expect we will be looked after well as usual by Owen & Debbie, so look forward to seeing you there.

PS  Just a reminder that the game after that is at Half Moon Bay & not Cairns where we were double booked.

PPS  For golf widows, a little poem forwarded to me by Greg Gibb & penned in 2000 by Mrs. Lesley Southon of Minnamurra, the wife of Bill, an ardent Veteran Golfer.


A LAMENT SHARED BY ALL VETERAN GOLFERS' WIVES

I hope we don't die on a Tuesday,
The fellas won't like it at all,
'Cos the day we select,
Would be the day they elect
to play for an autographed ball.

Oh, I hope we don't die on a Tuesday,
The abuse would come loudly and thick,
"We're sorry they've gone, but
When all's said and done,
There were six other days they could pick".

I hope we don't die on a Tuesday,
Another day would be fine,
'Cos they'll just bare their head,
P'raps a prayer will be said
and they'll continue on up the back nine.

But if we should die on a Tuesday,
We'd be very sorry, of course,
For demise on that day
means the Devil to pay and
most certainly grounds for divorce.
