Our season started well with the retention of the Mt. Trophy against Mt.Osmond. We hope to repeat this later in the year when we play there. The Championships were held early in May, with the Qualifying, Quarter- and Semi-finals played in excellent weather. Finals Day started with heavy rain which cleared to enable us to complete all matches. The results were: The day concluded with celebrations in the Club House. Light refreshments and drinks were provided by the Ladies Committee. Over the past few months changes have been made in the Lily Waite House (Ladies Locker Room). New lighting has been installed and a group of able Lady Members have painted the walls of the Locker Room, the shower and toilet areas, as well as varnishing the bench seats. All this was made possible from funds raised over the past 12 months and voluntary help. At the beginning of July we held a Card Day with 32 players attending. Some of our members made lunch for the players, raising $518. Our next major fundraiser will be on Sunday 22nd September when we hope many of you will support one of the most popular events on the Club Calendar - THE CHAMPAGNE BREAKFAST. Marion Cartwright Answer to Rules Question In both cases the penalty is one stroke
and the ball must be replaced. If you are confused about whether Match
Play breaches are loss of hole or penalty strokes, here is a general
rule:- Manager's Report Since the last Mt. Lofty Golf News there have been some staff changes. Bob Young has left for "greener pastures" and no 4 a.m. summer starts. At this stage a mechanic has been employed to do our machine maintenance. Glenis Kuhlman has taken a redundancy package. She has been replaced by Shirley Moriarty, whose hours are 9 a.m. -1 p.m. Monday to Friday. Steve Pellatt, after breaking his leg, should be back on deck by late August or early September. The sale of our land at Schocroft 'hit the wall' in March. The complex web of easements that needed to be registered has taken an agonizingly long time. We hope it will go to auction by mid August. Work on the wheelchair accessible toilet should start in the next few weeks during our 'quiet time'. Work will commence on the 7th tee as weather permits. We are waiting for 5 new ball washers to be installed, the same style as the one on the first tee. These come at no cost to the Club. One item from the AGM was our phone bill. I am pleased to report that we are changing carriers at the end of our billing cycle, to Primus. This will see a 10 - 15% reduction in our phone bill. Lastly, we are in discussions with FOCUS, a marketing company, to finalize strategies to attract new members and produce a new Corporate Membership Package. Phil Middleton Funny, I Thought!
Our golfing medical practitioners have it all over us - nobody can read their scorecard.

A
young friend of mine set herself up to do small decorating jobs and
visited the golf club to find work. The manager, deciding the porch at
the entry to the 19th could use a coat of paint, showed her where to
find the paint and brushes, and pointing vaguely to the porch, set off
for his weekly round of golf. He had reached the 8th when the woman
joined him.
