Our Winter tournament at Southern Golf Club had our members playing for the Ray Underwood trophy. The course was in good condition considering the amount of winter rain we have had recently. Members thanked the club for their hospitality.
We had 65 members today, with one guest, Spiro Sparsi, who has requested to join our Vets Club.
Thanks again to Captain Jeff Stevens for the shotgun preparation with the starters Noel Manning, Peter Ross, Peter Garbellini and yours truly dispatching the field in an orderly manner.
A special congratulations to Alex Johnson who received an OAM in the Queens Birthday Honours in June. Earlier this year Alex moved to Maffra to be close to family, and therefore being able to enjoy the country life in reasonable health. His nomination was for Services to Golf and Community Services.
At the conclusion of the presentation our half year major draw took place with all members eyes affixed to the large screen. The lucky winner of the first prize drawn on the automated system was David Paterson, who received the $500 House of Golf voucher, and who was just moments before had been awarded the NAGA for todays play. Then the second prize of a $200 House of Golf voucher went to
Our next game is on the 19th of July at Eagle Ridge with an 8am tee off where all members will play in carts within the game fee $60. The booking sheet for Eagle Ridge is now open.
Please mark on your calendar Monday the 2nd of August - this is when we play at the Rosebud Country Club where we have a full 18 holes available for our 8am shotgun start.
Members please support this day.
Since development of the web site booking system, the booking sheet has always automatically provided access to the Club's next event whatever that may be. Currently it is the Eagle Ridge event.
As the Rosebud event follows soon after, it would only have a very short window time frame for booking. To overcome this difficulty, at the suggestion of Captain Jeff, Webmaster Laurie is rewriting the Member's index page to provide access to booking sheets for the next two events. This enhancement will be available in the next few days (or earlier if it rains in Coffs Harbour).
Captain Jeff Stevens welcomed members to 'Southern Golf Club' for the Ray Underwood Trophy event.

A first-grade teacher, Ms Brooks, was having trouble with Harry, one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your problem?"
Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!"
Ms. Brooks thought this outrageous. She took Harry to the principal's office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9."
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Harry: "36."
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade."
Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions."
The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Harry, after a moment: "Legs."
Ms Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: "Pockets."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Harry: "Pants."
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer,
Harry replied, "Bubble gum."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"
Harry: "Shake hands."
The principal was trembling.
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher,
"Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last six questions wrong!"
