WELCOME to WARNER DAY Mk. XII. It was on this day, 20 years ago, that Andrew Warner joined the Lizards - and due to his club activities, has rated a mention in almost every subsequent issue of FOL. Today our Life Member, ex-President, current Caterer and Chief Dobber is on the front page again - as Donor. He introduced the nerve jangling Custard Ball event, as a supplement to the normal stableford round in 1994, and there is a chance it may be slipped in as part of todays menu.
LE-MON DELLA DAY, with 19 members and 4 visitors, produced the following results:
LIZARDS 1st Tony Della 39 points off 14 handicap
LIZARDS 2nd Chris Mooney 38 points off 13 handicap
VISITORS 1st John Bavin 43 points off 28 handicap
VISITORS 2nd Frank van Heyningan 39 points off 23 handicap

TONY DELLA, our prolific provider of prizes, scored a win on his own day. The last occasion he won a monthly competition was March 1993! Congratulations Tony.
MICHAEL HARRISON rounded of an enjoyable day by taking out the best scratch, long drive and a couple of nearest the pins on the 4th and 13th. - the most difficult par 3 on the course.
VISITOR JOHN BAVIN, a well known face on Lizards Days, celebrated his first win since March 98.
FRANK van HEYNINIGAN, visitors runner-up in February 99, March and August 2000, will never win the event - following his successful application for membership last month Congratulations Frank, we wish you a long and happy association with the Lizards.
FINES, some were
Andy Warner
Having an airswing, with his putter, during a competition at Warringah.
Chris Mooney
Being tired of writing his name on nearest the pin markers and planning
to use a rubber stamp.
Jim Small
Bringing a motorised buggy and leaving the battery at home.
LATEST BUZZ - commencing today, members will be awarded 2 Championship points for bringing a visitor. The member will be credited an additional 2 points for each of that visitor's second and third attendance - a maximum of 6 points per visitor. There is no limit to the number of visitors a member may introduce to the club.
THE PORT MACQUARIE trip 4-5 Nov. is looming large on the horizon and approaching countdown - confirm your place in the touring team. More info at todays meeting.
NEXT MONTH is CASTLE HILL DAY, with Stretch and Wal as donors. A good day to bring a visitor or two.
