Welcome
Another week has passed us by and it’s nearly Easter. Can you remember what you did New Years eve? It seems like yesterday when it was actually 2.5 months ago. How time flies.

Spies quiet
My spies have been quiet, it seems they have bunkered down during the change in the sporting seasons and nil contact is coming forth. Oh well I will just have to do what I usually do and make it up (only kidding)

Golf back on the radar
I actually pulled the golf clubs out for the first time since Corporate Cup on the weekend and managed to make use of my membership at the 45 hole layout here in Yarrawonga. It was a charity day for an organisation called the Godfathers, they help sponsor young kids who are pursuing excellence in their chosen field throughout the region. I think over 350 played in the day long event over the two magnificent courses, The Murray and The Lakes. A big day.

The Golden Bear
I played stableford in a four with natives Glen “Wally” Brear, Terry “The Madman” Brear and Brad “The Bear” Forrester. The Bear used to be a pro and his claim to fame was he had a round with the legend of golf The Golden Bear himself. Forrester is now retired from the circuit but still plays a mean game having shot two over despite the many beverages consumed.

Corporate Cup
I’m probably getting a bit ahead of myself here but already they are talking about the Corporate Cup over this way. The ladss that came along last year have told the natives here that’s it’s a “must attend” event. Brad “The Bear” Forrester is sponsoring, as he has a pro shop in Wodonga. He tells me he has already put a dozen packs of a dozen golf balls aside amongst other things.

Heat wave
I don’t have to tell you guys how hot it been as it seems that you have been coping Adelaide’s weather in the Western part of the state. Let’s hope this brings on an Easter break for the farmers as we need to build up that valuable moisture.

Jacks almost back
SLF favourite John “Jack” Cameron is recovering well according to number two son and Mayoral candidate Gary “Larry” Cameron. I’m told he even enjoyed a beer the other day, thank goodness for small mercies.




Footy’s back
Footy is back on the radar and I see where a couple of experts have tipped my team Richmond to finish 16th again, now that’s not very encouraging but we are used to that.

Anyway that’s all for this week, have a good Easter
