A big happy and hearty Aaarrgghhh to all you Pirates.
We had 20 Pirates playing Stroke on Saturday. Conditions for the 7th round of the club championships were reasonable, the rollout was tremendous. There was a bright thing in the sky that created a lot of warmth. Whatever the bright orb was it felt wonderful.
Your club sponsored the day.
You will be in the capable hands of the Co-Vice Captains for the next 2 weeks. I have Board Member events that clash with golf. Yes, they do exist. Joona is back from Party duties and Phil will come back smelling like a granddad after spending 3 weeks in the UK with his new additions. The grandchildren now know who taught their parents to bark orders. I hear he is now known as the Saaaargent Major Poppy.
Greet the Guest
I would like to welcome a guest we had on the day, Lachlan Ottley. Hopefully, we will see Lachlan again and he becomes a new Pirate.

Sandgroper Open
The Sandgroper Open is being held Sunday and Monday, September 25 & 26, 2022. Please note I will take acceptances over the next 2 weeks. Please email if you are going to play and
either pay Adam at the game or transfer the money via eft.
NOTE – there are only 10 carts so if you intend on playing and need a cart, I suggest you jump on the phone and book the cart ASAP. The cost is $50 for 1 day and $85 for both days.

Course Update
The course is in reasonably good condition considering the amount of rain that has fallen over the last 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see how the course shapes up with a bit of sunshine over the next couple of months.
