Cats, Dogs and Condoms

To use an old English expression it rained "cats and DOGS" from the early morning through to tee off time and well beyond !!!! By the way, I do not know the background or significance of the expression but it seems appropriate under the circumstances!! 10 mutts braved it and we duly teed off clad in a variety of outfits... I think I should have fined Dingo Kate and Mata Hari for wearing the most obscene and revolting 'condoms' over their bodies and ended up being wetter than the rest of us through perspiration !!! Madeleine Reichelt played her first proper round of 18 holes... a brave effort in such trying conditions !!

The conditions were fairly grim one way and another but the ability to place (casual water!!) obviously helped some. The greens were surprisingly fast considering the amount of water that was dumped on them. Under the circumstances, the scores were fairly reasonable.... all above 20 points with the exception of Barry who has obviously gone soft from the 'good life' in Bangkok !! He only managed 8 points in total and got only 2 on the back nine !! Barry is Dog Doodoo this week. Gus was Barry's nearest competitor for the honour but playing with Barry at the rear end, both as the last group and with the scores, Gus knew that he was safe on 21 points !! To the other end of the Pack... in 3rd place and in the balls was Top Dog on 28 points, in second we had Pascale with 32 points and Leader of the Pack this week is Bill with 34 points and a new handicap !!

We will play Kurmitola again next Saturday at the usual time. Please note, in the evening of next Saturday, 12th August, Lars and Madeleine would like to host a casual Drinks and Pizza farewell. It will commence at 8 o'clock at their kennel which is at Road 79, House #5. Please will you let me and Lars know if you will be coming in order to ensure that you will not be left hungry or thirsty !!!!
