Dougie does doodoo

Firstly a wee bit of golfing humour: ‘An American turns up at St Andrews and promptly hits his first tee shot out of bounds….turning to the old craggy faced Scottish Caddie he asks…’whats the Scottish for “a Mulligan”? The caddy stares and then replies..”Playing 3, sir”.

To Saturday: Conditions were fantastic with pretty much dry skies, a slight breeze, firm fairways and greens in good nick and with 13 mutts eventually teeing off. (we first tossed the balls with 9 and then had to go through the process again as strays kept arriving. If you know your going to be late or think you might be late call ahead of 11.45. Fair to say DOGS funds were suitably boosted)

Scores, no one really played very badly with most people hitting the dizzy height of mediocrity in the mid 20’s. Dogs doodoo went very unfortunately to big Dougie on what would normally be a reasonably respectable 22 points….Khor having been saved the pleasure on count-back.

To the Balls… Kate managed to pick up a couple of white round ones for her pin point accuracy at the 12th green…. must have been about 50 feet from the flag and I’m guessing the only one who managed to land on the green. In my group we decided to have a competition at the 12th to see who could hit the ball into the lake with as many bounces as possible before it reached the lake…!

A whole clutch of people in the 24 -27 points mark until we got to the ball winners with in third place Brian on a steady 30 points , second place was Rob on 32 points and this weeks leader of the pack on 36, and being cut by two for the pleasure, is Lissette on 36 points. Very well done.

Next week something different for the weekend. Still playing conventional stableford at Kurmitola at the same time but with a limit of 1 x putter and 3 other clubs of your choice. You must take a normal golf bag with you and decide on your sticks of choice before you arrive on the tee and leave the rest at home or in the car. Any questions give myself a call.
