If a regular player, come along and lets talk good shorts, not three and four putts etc.
While on Cheating Tuesday results from last week has Christmas Cheer co-organiser Geoff Drane coming out on top with a very healthy 32 points.
Cheating Tuesday was organised to get regular and retired players out on the course and at the same time introduce new players to the game that lasts a life time.
And guess what, one of the newer players, Brian Clarke was runner-up last week with 31 points. He is an improver ready for the weekend comps.
Last Thursday Lachlan Valley veterans travelled to Condobolin for the monthly 18 hole comp where we had mixed results, a win and a near miss.
David Williams brought home the win with 42 points (best score for the day) to take out B grade while Fred Collie had yet another close call in trying to collect a trophy.
Last Saturday in the classic Fred and his mate were beaten on a count-back for runner-up in the four-ball then on Thursday it all happened again, beaten on a count-back for runner-up in A grade.
Winner in A grade was Barry Thoms from Condobolin with 41 points while Dub Rodgers from Parkes ousted Fred for runner-up on a count-back with 40.
Runner-up in B grade was Lachlan Valley president Alan Luff from Cowra with 41 points.
Nearest the pin winners were Barry Thoms, Dub Rodgers and Dick Richards from Condobolin.
No ball sweep as everyone of the 43 starters, despite the threatening storms, received a ball.
The yearly club pointscore for the Coles/Miller Shield was announced on Thursday and as you would expect Forbes ran out winners with 1239 points from Parkes 1200, West Wyalong 886, Cowra 881, Grenfell 846 and Condobolin 814.
Thursday's play will be here in Forbes for 12 holes with nominations from 9.30am for the 10am tee-off.

Indoor Bowls
What a surprise we got when we walk into the community centre John and Barbara Hoswell had been in Forbes so had come to the indoor bowls and had put the mats and bowls and chairs out for us.
It saved Sandy for doing it by him self. Sandy losed the first two games then when he played againest Wilma and won that game.
Wilma won the day with Vera McPetrie and Joan Littlejohn two wins one lose 21 points.
Runners up Sue Smith Joyce and Betty Rees two wins one lose 18 points.
Chocolate went to Dorren Rogers John Hoswell and Lorriane.
The comp went o Joan Littlejohn Vera and Sue.
Thank you again John and Barbara for all the help we hope to see you both again soon.
