Well, it has been 3 months since our last report. Wow it seems like forever.

As you would all be aware; our little club was wiped out with the destructive flood on the 14 November last year. This is the worst flood that the club has endured and it will be a long road back. To see our club now gutted inside is a site that is unbelievable. One we never thought we would ever see.

The Directors would like to acknowledge the wonderful response from many, who assisted in the mammoth clean-up. There are too many to thank personally but you all know who you are. Cabonne Council, your efficient collection of debris is greatly appreciated.

Sunday 12th commencing at 12midday there will be a free sausage sizzle at the club followed at 1pm with a public meeting to

Molong Sunday Golf Notes

Weather wise it was a great morning for golf on Sunday at the Royal Molong Golf Course. Thirteen players were there for the usual twelve hole ambrose event with five teams of two and one team of three. Scott and Stubba were the winners from Bro and Paul on a countback.

I played with Mick P. who obviously took no notice of last week’s memo which stated ‘if your partner hits a bad shot then you should try and hit a good shot’. I hit far too many bad shots but he then followed up with a “worser” shot.

The trouble was he hit a great tee shot off the first. I mean, everyone knows that if you hit a great first shot then you can only go downhill from there.

Matt P. and Evo managed a few pars despite Matt losing two golf balls and breaking the head on his driver and Evo putting a huge dent in the branch in front of the eighth tee. Al behaved himself this week and was still bopping away from a Red Hot Chillies concert he had been to during the week.

Thanks to Matt E. for cooking the bbq and to Bro for doing all the cleaning up afterwards.

update all members and guests on where the club is up to. At 2pm there will be an in-house trial game for members and guests prior to the commencement of Pennants which start on the 19th February.

There will be refreshments available on the day to purchase – beers on ice. Come and support your club, see where we are up to and have a roll up. Please be aware that there are NO bowls at the club so please bring your own.

The refurbishment phase will be lengthy as you can all imagine. The Directors are meeting regularly to organise events for our members and guests. Please support the club. Our town needs support from us all. Rome wasn’t built in a day, Molong will rebuild, Molong will come back bigger and better. We all need to stick together. We have the best community in the west, one to be proud of.

Happy birthday to Stubba who turns fifty? this week and will be partying away this weekend.

The fairways and rough are looking great and the greens were nicely raked thanks to Scott and Kerry and anyone else who has been working out on the course.

Did you know that the oldest computer can be traced back to Adam and Eve. Surprise! Surprise! It was an Apple. It had extremely limited memory. Just one byte. Then everything crashed.

In the same vein, the biggest joke on mankind is that computers are now asking humans to prove that they aren’t a robot.

My brother-in-law was told that if he didn’t get off the computer and help with the dishes he’d have his head slammed on the keyboard but he thought she was joking...=&#_^[] {¥^£3<>\~>?bhuj28965&$*)””)&#$&*):;=$^¥€£^{} >.vhjk469; so>\>{[¥_90\~€^….
