Next Dates

From the Meister:

28 August - Tanunda - 11am, with a small group making a weekend of it, staying up and playing at least one other course. Contact the new EET Golf Club Singles Champion if you are interested.

18 September - Fleurieu (or Mt Compass if you are so inclined) - 9.30am. Don't think there'll be any interest in the AFL season by then.

Weekend of either 15/16 or 22/23 October - Annual Road Trip, and this year it is Mildura. Probably play Riverside Friday, Mildura Country Club Saturday and Coomealla on the Sunday. The new EET Golf Club Singles Champion will be booking 5 rooms at this stage, but if anyone not at golf yesterday is interested, please scream out. Actual date will be confirmed shortly, but the current EET Golf Club Singles Champion is waiting to see if Tatts is coming just for his betting prowess at either the Caulfield Cup or the Cox Plate. (for those who are unaware, Tatts said one year - "give me your money, I've got a hot tip!" Backed the wrong horse number, wrong race number, and I think the wrong State, but won a lot of cash for those of us drunk enough to part with the hard earned!!!)

November will be the traditional Ashbourne Ambrose, so start getting your teams organised now! Usually the second Sunday, but will confirm later, when the newly crowned Cadel Evans of the EET golfing world, the Maillot Jeune EET Golf Club Singles Champion books and advises. Maybe we can start another EET Golf tradition, a bit like the TDF, and present our champion with a golf shirt???? Given that he is probably the only person able to fit into our current stock of shirts, he can probably pick his own colour - either blue or green, and we can label all future champions "the blue or green shirt"!!!

Happy to discuss this proposal with anyone stupid enough to respond, but open to further developments or improvements on the suggestion - (eg. Not allowed the Wellman Award, as our club shirt lacks the panache of the salmon, taupe or lemon coloured standards we've come to expect of a worthy winner). Also don't want the negative stifling crap that SoftOck usually responds with, as I see the EET Golf Club as a progressive and positive individual nurturing type of organisation. (well at least one learns very quickly how to cope with abuse, slanging matches, the Judge's encouraging words and bad behaviour!)

December - we're gunna play Echunga, (usually about a 7.30 tee-off) and turn up at Ross and Ros's for the traditional XMAS BBQ, whether they're there or not! Usually the first or second Sunday - also will confirm after the recently crowned EET Golf Club Singles Champion advises.
