“Activities” MONTHLY REPORT
for what we did in SEPTEMBER 2017
CAPTAIN
CHIPS UP
For the Wandering Self-Absorbed
There have been several cases where players have been walking down the fairway in front of another player whose turn it is to play a shot. (inc. moi—ed.)
This might be fine in some cases, eg if there is a lost ball and you are ready to play your shot, that's fine so long as no-one is in your line.
However sometimes the player walking ahead is not too far away from the line that another player will probably want to play, putting him-self in danger and being a distraction to the other player.
The main thing is to strike a balance between keeping the game moving and ensuring safety at all times. I know we all have insurance but that's not much comfort if you have a ball up your clacker, or worse, lodged in your skull.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH
from the STATS MAN
On 20th September the Stats Man had a Birdie on
the 18th hole which is the first this year for that
hole.
For the Future At this time of year "our Group" must be seen to fixing divots, both fairway and greens. It is important we take ownership of this problem caused by other golfers .
Average score for the 27th September 2017 for the group was 47.77. The best since 31st July 2017. (the sun is out!)

1923, Who Was: 1. President of the largest steel company? 2. President of the largest gas company? 3. President of the New York stock Exchange? 4. Greatest wheat speculator? 5. President of the Bank of International Settlement? 6. Great Bear of Wall Street? These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.. Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us if we know what ulti-mately became of them. The Answers: 1. The president of the largest steel company. Charles Schwab, died a pauper. 2. The president of the largest gas compa-ny, Edward Hopson, went insane. 3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home. 4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless. 5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself. 6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide However, In that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion
and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US
Open, was Gene Sarazen. What became of him? He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95. He was financially secure at the time of his death. The Moral:
Screw work. Play golf.
