Another week
Hello and welcome to another week of the SLF, It was certainly a busy week last week with all the ram sales etc. The ram sales went very well and underlined the interest in the Marnoo merinos.

Successful event
The Corporate Cup at the Royal was once again a huge success for the club, 13 teams graced the Royals manicured fairways. However it was a little disappointing that a few teams pulled out as the club was looking at 20 teams at the start of the week.

H is for horizontal
I managed to get one team over from Yarrawonga, I was designated driver driving, Dwain “Duxsy” Duxson, Glen “Wally” Brear, Terry “The Madman” Brear and Murcus “H” Hargreaves. The boys had a great trip and will be spreading the word about next year’s event. One member of the crew couldn’t (H Hargreaves) hack the pace and was seen cuddling up to the fire at about 10 pm that evening. I guess that explains how he got gravel in his pockets.

Early morning wake up call
The Yarra lads arrived back at the house in Marnoo at about 2am and it was certainly a big surprise for Geoff “Bronco” McDougall who was camping in one of the bedroom. Bronco is down to help out with some dipping at Glendemar and wondered what the hell was going on when the Madman tried to jump into bed with him. It could have been worse, big Wally could have tried to angle his ample frame into Goeffs bed.

The Winner is Melbourne Gravity
Callawadda’s only Toorak resident Sandy “The Know all” McGregor bought home the bacon with a win after several years of trying. This years crew was made up of Jock and Maree McGregor and Graeme “G Train” and Kaye Ellen, they combined there skills to finish the day ahead of pack.

The 5th hole
A lot of the entertainment was centred around the fifth hole where local funnyman Stewart “Smacka” MacPherson was wowing participants with his sometimes generous odds. Many bets where taken and I think the bank walked away “plenty” in front. One particular player in the Ausfarm group was offered 8 to 1 to hit the scrape, there was no danger as he managed to virtually square cut the ball and the money was firmly placed back in the kitty.

That’s about all as I have to catch a plane to WA (to do a story)
