L'Hollande - nul point... almost

It is starting to warm up but still very pleasant playing conditions. Another couple of weeks and we will experience the 'hot and sweaty soggy shirt syndrome'............. lovely !!!! Nice new shirts are on their way.... so watch this space!!
Great turnout again yesterday with a pack of 20 (sounds like cigarettes!!) giving us 5 x 4. I would like to praise everyone for their efforts in getting round the course without hold ups. The groups all moved at a good pace and there was no hanging about. Well done, Pack. I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have had something to do with the fact that there was lovely cold German beer waiting for us in the club house...... thanks very much Holger and Lilo. It was lovely!!

And to the golf.... a mixed bag !!! The Dutch menagerie had a hard time of it with the exception of Lisette who, encouraged by her playing companions (guess who??) put on a great display.... and played good golf as well !! However, the Dutch dog Dogs were sniffing at every tree and 'pani' !!!! Leo, scored 14 points on the front 9 and then gave up all hope scoring a staggering 'Nil point' on the back 9.... giving a grand total of 14 points to take the Dog Doodoo Trophy home with him. He saved Teb the pleasure as Teb managed on a couple more points... 16 !! Fellow countrydog Gert-Jan, on his 1st outing with the Dogs did slightly better with 24 but worryingly 19 of those came on the 1st nine !!! And to the balls...Dave Freeman won Nearest the Pin at the 8th with a magnificent 'curly wurly' shot into the green that ended up 8 feet from the pin to get his birdie. In 3rd place was......... Top Dog with 32 points (3 cheers!!) !!! What a difference it makes when you play without a hangover !! In 2nd place was our new pup, Lilo with 33 points losing on countback to none other than 'Curly Wurly Freeman' who is this weeks Leader of the Pack!! Well done. Matahari Medeau will revise and advise the handicaps appropriately.
We will play at the usual time at the usual place next Saturday. How about Savar the following week?????
