.666 per hole - devilish!

It was great to see such a good turn out on Saturday (we had 23 dogs turned at varying times to tee off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) despite it being the 'morning after the night before' at St Andrews Ball. The Dogs filled 3 tables and it was a tremendous night full of fun.... and heavy heads the next day !! Thanks to the Dogs for making it so much fun.

Top Dog is getting tough... sorry, but it is for the good of the whole pack!! I would like to make 2 important requests and one demand.... you know what is coming...... please, please get to the club well before 11.50. With the large numbers now turning up it is absolutely essential that people are on that tee box ready to play by 11.50. Being late is inconsiderate to those that make the effort to be on time and damned frustrating for 'ball thrower' !!!! As off now, the fine for a late appearance is doubled. If that doesn't work a more serious penalty will be applied. The other request is that the pack has grown dramatically in recent days and the numbers are at about the maximum we can manage both for the golf as well as for the social events. Therefore I would ask (politely) that we refrain from any further recruitment to the pack for a while.... sorry !!! The demand is............... under the DOGS rules, people are required to put a new ball in the pot at the end of the game for the prizes. Over the past few weeks it has been noticed that some 'not so new' balls have mysteriously appeared in the pot........ not acceptable !!!!!

Now to the golf, starting at the rear end as always, Dog Doodoo of the week goes to Michael Carey who struggled to get 12 points. He was, however, not the only struggler.... 3 Putt Pete Murdoch came in with 16 points, Heather with 17 (despite playing 'tee to green' golf over the past week in Australia), Margaret with 18 and Mike Tarry with 19... oh dear !!!! Nearest the Pin this week was won by Lennart Borg, a new Dog, At the top end, we had Pascale losing out on balls to kennel mate Philippe on 32 points to take 3rd. I think this is the first time Philippe has had balls... well done !! In 2nd place we had Gus also on 32 points but getting there on countback having scored 20 points on the back 9 !! Leader of the Pack and by a long way on 36 points was our OK.... she has returned to the pack with a vengeance !! Well done, OK. I am sure chief Chopper will be visiting the handicaps...... !!!

Next week is the Rover Cup so no normal Dogs outing. We return to normal the following week.
The Dogs Dinner this coming Saturday is being held at my house at 7.30.
