A
word from the Tournament Organiser:
The
Dawn Patrol.
ANZAC
Day, 2001.
Seventeen
SMERGs gathered on the tenth tee at dawn this morning. The usual staccato
strains of the Kookaburras were missing, but on this occasion were suitably
replaced as burglar Slimon Rowe ushered in the dawn with The Last
Post.
Appropriately
we were joined this year by Steve A who for the first time put the NZ in ANZAC,
and we were delighted to welcome Tim who usually attends the real thing in the
city with his Vietnam veteran mates. Thanks to both of you for joining
us.
It
was a beautiful morning to celebrate the eighty-sixth ANZAC Day and the eighth
SMERG Dawn Patrol.
The
standard of golf was very high overall, with a best score of 37 off the stick
and three players within one point vying for The Dawn Patrol
Trophy.
AWOL
Peter MacDougall who, in his absence, was sentenced by the tribunal to be
SMERG music master for the term of his natural life.
Thanks
everyone for a wonderful morning,
Alan.

FOURTH
ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
(hereinafter
referred to as ‘The Championship’) for the
QUEEN’S
BIRTHDAY REPUBLICAN TROPHY (the ‘BEIGE JACKET’)
ROYAL
NORTHBRIDGE G.C. – Sunday 26th August 2001 (a bit late this
year!)
Order
of Play
·
The
Club Championship shall be played over 18 holes. The first tee will be available
from 6.30 am. All competitors should be on the first tee for the ‘Call to Order’
by 6.20 am.
·
Groups
shall be determined using the traditional SMERGS method.
·
Players
shall be required to contribute 3 new individually-boxed golf balls each (balls
to match the boxes, please; Rockets acceptable) by way of entry fee.
·
Because
members have experienced some embarrassment (even felt really stupid) in the
singing of the SMERGS song (especially near a main thoroughfare), this will NOT
be part of the proceedings. Instead, each member shall recite (sotto voce
if preferred) "I still call Northbridge home" as he tees his ball on the first
tee.
·
Play
shall be from the blue tees.
·
The
designated marker for each group shall be required to keep the stroke and
stableford score for each player in his group, as well as to calculate the
team’s stableford average.

Championship. In the event of a tie in that event, the winner shall be
determined by a countback based on the relative aggregates of groups of 3
holes.
3.
*Ball
prizes have been calculated based on 16 SMERGS participating. In the interests
of equity, justice and fair play (for which the SMERGS are famous), the Seconded
Acting Honorary Tournament Director - Temporary reserves the right to adjust
