March 2023 Newsletter
President Report:
President Harold commenced the days presentation with a great joke which caused laughter throughout those assembled.
The tournament at Waterford Valley was for the Thord Lorich trophy in a Stableford format on the well manicured course, with a two tee start with Peter Ross and Peter Garbellini organizing the day.
The members were reminded by the President that the Captain, prior to a tournament, has to advise our host club of numbers in time for them to make their commercial arrangements to supply the lunches. Some of our host clubs may charge us for the number booked regardless of how many participate. The members were reminded to advise of non attendance to a tournament by noon on the Thursday prior to the tournament. The Committee will be addressing the situation on how this will addressed if host clubs impose charges for late withdrawals in the future.
The next game will be on the 3rd of April at Churchill Park. They have informed the Vets Club that they will be coring numerous greens the week prior which may have heavy sand on them. As an alternative Waverley may be an option. The President and the Captain will keep the members informed and confirm the course where the tournament will be played.
The members were also reminded that the Annual fees per member are $40 and are due and payable by the next tournament. You should have received your invoices recently.
Remember to support our sponsors the House of Golf and Jimmy's Jams.

The Ducks of Heaven
Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.
When they get there, St. Peter says,
"We only have one rule here in heaven:
Due to a design flaw, our ducks are very delicate, so the rule is: Don't
step on a duck!"
So the women enter heaven, and surprisingly, there are ducks all over the
place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their
best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.
Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains
them together and says,
"Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to
this ugly man!"
The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck.
And along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing.
With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the
same admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for
all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, then one day
St.Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes
on .... Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.
St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to
you for all of eternity?"
The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on
a duck".
