Welcome

Hello and welcome to another edition of the SLF. I managed to get back to the area over the weekend, which was fantastic. Here are some of the stories we dug up.

Golf course tricky

I journeyed down to the Royal on Saturday night where about 10 members hit the course. They all said the course is as tricky as it has been for sometime with thick mat of cut dry grass with a sprinkling of green shoots that are coming through. One golfer namely Ben “Glendemar” Duxson actually lost his ball in the middle of the fairway, it was later picked up by the group behind.

Golfers needed

I was talking to a few of the “Royal” members and they are a little disappointed with the numbers that have turned out thus far. They are urging golfers to put a couple of hours on a Saturday arvo to play. This will help get the atmosphere back into the place that was evident a couple of years ago. Wallaloo has one of the best clubs in the Wimmera but if players start dropping off it will slide back with the “also rans”. So golfers and/or non golfers start making an effort.

Be my Guest

One bloke that doesn’t change is John “Be My” Guest. He ventured off the 18th a little worse for wear and was greeted by his lovely partner Andrea who immediately could tell that perhaps he had “over catered” somewhat after rounding with Ben “Glendemar” Duxson and Rod “Rude” Reading

Have caravan will travel

Rodney “Rude” Reading and his lovely wife Heather have developed a travel bug. So much so that they have purchased a caravan. You would think the first trip would be to say the Grampian or Batyo Catyo but no they are crossing the Nullarbor to Perth. Not sure when all this is happening but we hope they have fun….

Yucksome

The mice a reeking havoc around the Wimmera and beyond and a couple of stories from my Twitter mates will make your stomach turn. If you have a week stomach turn away now….. One bloke from up near Moulamein had his slow cooker running with a lovely stew ready to be devoured only to discover a mouse had crawled in through the slightly ajar lid. He managed to spot the offender before he started eating. Another lady says she was in the bathroom when a mouse dropped out of the IXL Tastic and onto her head.
