Today was the last midweek comp of the year with possibly the worst turn out of the season due to several of the 8 ballers having buggered off to far and away places to get some sun in.
Luckily for us after the early morning frost and fog cleared a truly superb sunny autumn morning greeted us. It was by no means great golfing conditions as the course was very wet and the greens spongy, but all that did was give us a good excuse to play some garbage golf.
Unfortunately the match report has to be short tonight as I’m writing this with a cup of tea in hand in a motorway service station. My dad has been taken I’ll so I’m on my way down to see him in the morning.
There were however some notable golfing highlights:
Stan losing 2 balls on the 7th
Stan getting the lowest front nine score, possibly ever.
Stan forgetting to sign his card until prompted by me to ensure no dq.
Steve knocking in a birdie 2 to secure some balls and then immediately smashing one oob on 12 to reduce his net gain.
The look on Tim and Alan’s faces as they raked in the cash. Tim 4 wins, Alan 3. The other being won by me with 2 truly sensational shots on 8 to take the nearest the pin in 2 (or was it that anywhere on the green would do)
The look on Stans face as he paid out large numbers of pound coins once again.
But the highlight of the day was by far the point at which Stan picked up his first donkey of the season. Well done sir, a great effort, the week away from playing golf truly paying dividends.
Well done to Tim, who took the Bandit trophy with a poor, but better than the rest, 33 pts. Mike 32 and John 31 completing the leaderboard.
Final oom table tomorrow and its squeaky bum time to see who comes out as the champ for this year.
Happy golfing all
