Day 1 update

Well, day 1 is (mostly) out of the way. We have one more to add to the scratch pile; Mr T. Lane is a no show - something about his wedding anniversary - likely excuse. As if that would be more important than the tour!

Anyway, our #1 low handicapper Mr Craig Tingate leads the field with a net 71, followed by Jack (74), Gary Lennox (76), Billy (79), Nigel (80), Gus (89), Pearcey (90), Harty (92). Kingy and Big Mike are still on the course, so we'll update their scores in the next installment.

No More Sleeps

Well, today's the day. Most of the tourers are heading up today probably getting in around lunchtime. Perhaps someone should ring the Tara's Hall and let them know.

Good luck to all. I'll try and keep those of you who aren't with us posted with reasonably regular score updates.

For any interested, the hypothetical bookie (if he was to exist) would have modified some of the odds due to the weight of hypothetical money. For some ridiculous reason, early favourite is Nigel (might as well just burn your hypothetical money now I say) with Gary Ox in second, Big Mike third, Phantom, Craig, Bill and Kingy following behind him. The stragglers of the field are Kev and Vaughn.

One Out, One In

Just as the numbers deplete with the late scratching of Pop Palmer, a previously scratched tourer comes good and puts himself back on the roster. If there was a bookie he'd be going nuts!

Anyway, it's good to see Glenn Simpson back on board.

Last Minute Scratching

Stop the presses, in a bold move, and to the gratitude of everyone that has ever had to sleep in the same room as him and put up with the ear shattering volume of his snoring; the early favourite - Mr John "Pop" Palmer aka Pop of the High Hands is a last minute scratching for the 2008 tour.

Apparently he needs to stay in Adel-diddle-dadelaide (I have been reliably informed that it should be) Adel-daddle-diddleaide to look after some renovations being done at the mansion. Given it's Adelaide, the "renovations" may just be the addition of running water and that new fangled elekricle stuff.

Anyway, that ought to shift the hypothetical market.

Oscar's move to Wednesday

Due to timing of arrivals etc, it has been suggested that the proposed Tuesday night at Oscar W's be moved to Wednesday night. 

Can I have a seconder? .....Done. 

All those in favour - aye 

All against - . 

Ok, consider it done. The evening repast is now moved to Wednesday following the Bendigo Cup.
