WELCOME TO LIFE MEMBER GORDON DONLAD’S “POSTIE DAY”.
Gordon was inducted into the Lizard ranks during Bill Sheehan’s Presidency, when green fees were 6 shillings – the occurrence was recorded in the second edition of Flat Out Like. Within 2 months he had his name on the books as an annual donor. He took to the Lizards lifestyle like a fish to chips – and has been Captain/Handicapper, Club Champion, President and for most of his working Lizard life Secretary-Treasurer and Treasurer. His fervour has never waned. Well played China, we wish you well.
DAVE RAYNER MEMORIAL DAY, with 18 Lizards and 4 visitors, produced the following results:
1st LIZARDS Dennis Castle - 42 points off 22 handicap
2nd LIZARDS Colin Lacey - 40 points off 20 handicap
1st VISITORS Neil Saunders - 41 points off 25 handicap
2nd VISITORS Roy Donald - 36 points off 15 handicap

DENNIS CASTLE won a brace of visitor’s trophies in Dec 2000 and Jan 01, became a member in April 01, and after a couple of second places has notched up his first win! Congratulations Dennis.
COL LACEY had his second trip to the pay window for the runners up prize this year.
VISITOR Neil Saunders made it into the Lizard archives with a healthy 41 pointer.
ROY DONALD picked up his second visitors prize in 5 months.
THE FIRST ROUND OF THE LINDENBERG KNOCK-OUT COMPETITION produced the following results:
David Gilchrist d Noel Quinlan 1 up
Hartmut Schwarz d Brian Ellis 3 and 2
Glenn Castle d Michael Harrison 4 and 3
Colin Lacey d Chris Mooney 1 up
Michael Morgan d Gary Castle on the 21st
Garry Bird LM d Bob Paine No show
Dennis Castle d Jim Small 5 and 4
Wal Hill d Michael Moran 7 and 5
If anyone with a crystal ball had predicted Michael Harrison, Jim Small and Chris Mooney would be eliminated in round 1, their crystal ball would have been confiscated, melted down, and made into permanent ice cubes. Let’s see what happens in round 2.
TEN out of TEN to Col Lacey for taking on the onerous ask of Captain/Handicapper, in the absence of Manfred and Neil Winterton, who were both on the unfit for service list.
PRESIDENT GARRY BIRD stood in for the Chief Dobber in the absence of Andy Warner,
GARY CASTLE’S catering debut was a raging success. We should be looking to his manager to arrange another gig in the winter season this year.
THE CASTLES certainly came to the fore last month. Gary with the cuisine, Glenn with the drinks and ice and Dennis with the winning card complete with nearest the pin and long drive. Well done fellers.
