Leo's lament

Hot and sweaty.... the only way to describe the conditions we played in yesterday !! The storms over the past week have raised the humidity level noticeably. The other impact of the storms can be seen in the condition of the course...... the fairways and greens are already getting 'hairy' despite the fact that the course is still dry enough to cut the grass !!

We had 16 dogs turn up to play...... 4x4 and all groups were round in a reasonable time.... around 3.5 hours so a reasonably brisk walk was had by all. The golf as always was a mixed bag !! Leo suffered from the 'hot and sweaty' more than most as he struggled round the 18. He only accumulated 17 points and with that he collected the Dog Doodoo of the week....... or at least he would have done had Brian not become so attached to the lovely little trophy and kept it jealously at his side during his travels failing to give Leo the opportunity to display it at his kennel. Leo, you may not have the trophy to display but you are still Dog Doodoo of the week !!

And so to the BALLS.............Nearest the Pin at the 12th this week went to Khor. Lars had 31 points but lost on count back to Lilo in 3rd place. Khor came 2nd with 33 points and Holger was Leader of the Pack with 37 points having played brilliantly. Handicap adjustments(in the absence of Matahari!!) Leo +1, Holger -2 !!!!!

After the golf we had a really fun Dogs Dinner at Gus and Vivien's kennel with many a dog sampling the truly enormous selection of Single Malt whiskies that Gus has adorning his residence. Well, it would be ridiculous and irresponsible to let him drink all that lot on his own .............. and anyway, in true Scottish tradition Malt is to be savoured and shared with one's friends !!! Thanks Gus and Vivien for a great night. The food was lovely and the company entertaining.

Tuesday this week is a Public Holiday. A number of us will gather at Savar to play golf, teeing of at 1 o'clock. We will stop for pizza and beer on the return journey. Anyone wishing to join us is most welcome.
