For those of you who are not in receipt of The Cut it may pay to pick up a copy of the June edition where at page 58 you will find a picture of those members (Rod O'Brien Ken Fergus, Ray Vivian, Mike Sidey Ray Barakaukas) who toured to Scotland on the golf odyssey in 2008. The accompanying article is also of interest. Well done guys you are obviously very photogenic.
A perennial problem at this time of the year is pitch marks on the greens. If you fly in a shot at any height it will inevitably leave a pitch mark on the green - just fix it!! Recently Andrew Sloane advised he had repaired 10 pitch marks on one green while this is great work everyone should be repairing their own marks and one other so then the problem would disappear.
Keeping up with members overseas Harry Green recently played in the 2009 St Andrews Links Trophy. While he did not make the cut he shot two rounds of 76 on the old and new course respectively. Hopefully we will keep in touch with Harry's progress while he is overseas.
Earlier this year former Club President and a current active playing member (especially on Tuesdays & Thursdays) Roger Gowans was elected to the R&A. This is the culmination of a long involved process over a number of years so congratulations to Roger on joining such a prestigious organisation.
Rumour has it that Michael Hadley was recently the "mystery diner" at the Dux de Lux. Michael's son Jimmy is a manager there which is apparently why he got the assignment. I am advised everything went well and Michael is not too much of a difficult customer off the golf course allowing the waitress to get a bonus and a commendation.
