Day 202 - Committees-a-go-go

No golf today - it's Ladies Day at the Club anyway and time to give the body a bit of a rest. Plenty to do anyway (and that's not only watching the 3rd England-Australia ODI!). Ran a few errands in the morning and then came home to make dinner (a great sausage and mushroom meatball recipe if you are interested). Soon after that, it was time to head back to the Club.

First, we had a Handicap Committee Meeting. This is when, every three months or so, we sit down to review members' handicaps. This involves looking at recent winners of competitions, as well as reviewing all of the new members to the Club to ensure that their scores look within the normal bounds and, on the rare occasion when not, to take the appropriate action.  We also spent some time studying the 13 or so changes that are planned for next year as well as doing some preparatory thinking about the annual handicap review that will take place at the end of the season.

A brief gap before moving on to the Men's Committee. This was our first meeting for a couple of onths as we had taken a break over the summer so there was lots to discuss. As well as running through all that had been going on at the Club since we last met, we also ran through some of the proposals for changes in competition rules for next year.  The meeting went on a bit longer than normal and it was almost 9:30 p.m. before I got home.

Back in time to watch the highlights of the cricket and to enjoy those meatballs...

P.S. Was struggling for a picture to illustrate the day: ended up with a camel. Why a camel? - because it is a horse designed by a committee...
