**********************************
Thank you to the ladies who gave up their time to help clean the white chairs in the main area of the Dunsborough Country Club- they look fabulously clean- ‘Many hands do make light work!!
Thanks Karen, Terry, Marlene, Helen, Lorraine, Jean and Jem.
Also a thank you to all those ladies who responded to email request of help to clean the chairs- it is wonderful that our micro community at the Club are so forthcoming with help when requested.
A Special Thank You to our nonagenarian ‘Jean Mac’ who thought cleaning chairs was a little difficult so instead kindly provided homemade pikelets and choccy chip bikkies for our hard workers. How great was that!!!
Many Thanks
Vicki Frost

MEN’S BOWLS
Mid-week Pennants
In our first venture back into the South-West League success was not the order of the day.
Playing a 2nd. Division game against Harvey at Capel (our home ground for the day) Gary Davies’ team was the only one to come away with a point, winning 18-15, while Ed Hoemberg’s team lost 20-25.
Our 3rd. Division side, with teams skippered by Tom Reynolds and Rob Prentice, lost by close margins on both rinks at Bunbury.
Thursday Peg-draw
Ken Holyoake partnered Wally Dawson of Busselton to win the day with a devastating + 27 from the two wins.
The Mars bar went to Brian Buttsworth and Jimmy Walker.
Club Triples Championship
There was excellent club-verandah support for the Friday afternoon finals.
Geoff Oddy, Tim Sansom and Ed Hoemberg triumphed in this year’s Triples Competition.
Ralph Don, Rod Winchcombe, and Mike Brown took the Plate in a closely fought contest.
Hadley’s Men’s Fours
Rod Winchcombe skilfully extended the new “A” carpet to fit 8 rinks so that 64 players were able to enjoy a day of variable weather but enjoyable bowls by all participants. The first three prizes were taken by visiting clubs but Ed Hoemberg, Rob Prentice,Tim Sansom, and Andre Gil ensured our club was not forgotten on the day, winning fourth prize.

Results
Last Saturday’s Stbd event saw a good win for Doug Gilchrist with 38 points. Doug set the pace for the field in more ways than one and his fitness and technique came to the fore with his great win.
Runner up was Laurie Richards with 36 points . Being his first game on his new DDCC handicap , Laurie is showing that he is already becoming aware of his new course .
Other scores were Barry Jackson 34, Jim Parry 30, Mal Williamson 28,
and Mark Embry and Ron Carmody on 26.
With the warmer weather the course is providing a little extra run so your choice of club for fairway shots is important as always.
Coming Events
Wednesday 25 October Scroungers 12 noon Hit off
Saturday 28 October Stbd 12 noon
(As several players are playing in the Augusta Open on this
date there will be a small field at DDCC for anyone interested.)
The 100 Club had its first draw last Friday night . Congrats on this first round win to Pat Manton and a runnerup syndicate ticket group.
There’s more to come over the next few weeks.
Thanks to all for your support.

Today’s Golf Comment.
A good golf course is like good music or good anything else. It is not necessarily a course which appeals the first time one plays it but one which grows on the player the more frequently they visit it. (Alister Mackenzie)
Good Golfing !

TENNIS NEWS
Tennis Members enjoyed organised social play on the new blue synthetic courts on Saturday with many comments suggesting the surface was like a living room carpet. The synthetic surface is certainly kind to the body and the colour means the ball is more visible, it’s just a matter of adjusting to the different bounce.
To ensure the integrity of the courts and protect our asset it is planned to lock the courts, initially the new courts, and once the hard courts are re-surfaced in the New Year all courts will be locked. A common key is planned and will be supplied to those who require one. There will also be a key available at the Clubhouse.
On Tuesday 7 November, following the running of The Melbourne Cup, there will be organised social tennis from 1.30 pm – 4.00 pm.
Saturday 11 November is the Tennis Section’s Opening Day for 2017-18 which is planned to be an afternoon of fun, especially with the inclusion of Greg Banfield’s traditional “Old Cow Bell Tournament” on this afternoon and the chance to have your name inscribed for posterity.
