The Golden Wedding Anniversary

An elderly couple is celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Over a quiet dinner, the husband looks lovingly at his wife and says, "Mary, I have to ask you something. In all these years, you’ve kept a locked shoebox in the closet, and you asked me never to look inside. Can you finally tell me what’s in it?"
Mary smiles and hands him the key. He opens the box and finds two hand-crocheted doilies and $50,000 in cash.
"What does this mean?" he asks.
Mary replies, "Before we married, my grandmother told me the secret to a happy marriage was never to argue. She said if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily."
The husband is deeply touched. Only two doilies in 50 years! He smiles proudly, then looks at the money. "But what about the $50,000?"
Mary smiles sweetly. "Oh, that's the money I made from selling the other 10,000 doilies."

Club house maintenance

This is just to advise that our club will be undergoing maintenance in the form of interior painting soon. The dates set aside to undertake the work are the mornings of Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th of December from about 6.30 - 11.30am. Completion will be on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th. The club will be CLOSED on both of those days. Despite paints being considerably lower in fumes these days, anyone with respiratory issues should make their own decisions about playing at that time. We apologise for any inconvenience.
