Kim-Kim-I - or how Madeleine saved Alan
Firstly, thanks so much to Lars and Madeleine for hosting a great evening in their kennel last night. Not the pizza we had all expected but instead, lovely Thai food which went well with the wine and the fun company. It was a cracking evening. We wish them all the best in their move back to Europe and hope they find some fun new dogs to play with.
Moving on to the golf... 18 mongrels turned up of which 3 were a new breed. Welcome to Puttu and Watti from Bali and also to Kim Streatfield who is a dingo and will certainly feel at home in this pack !! We were very lucky that we had a cooling breeze... the combination of very high temperature and lack of air the previous day had caused considerable discomfort on the course. Anyway, the course was in good condition. The grass had been cut and the greens were in a fine state so no excuses !!
Top Dog was very lucky that Madeleine had decided to venture out on her second outing with the DOGS... and off her 36 handicap accumulated 13 points saving me the honour of carting the Doodoo home on 16 points. I had a diabolical round of golf. It happens to us all sometimes... when the club feels like a foreign object in your hands, when the ball finds every bunker on the course, when small ponds look like bleedin great oceans, when small mounds resemble Everest, when a mango tree takes on the proportions of the Amazon jungle..........shall I go on or have you got the picture !!!! 
However, I played in very pleasant company so made the walk worthwhile. At the other end of the pack we had heaps of people on 28 points but Brian came 3rd on count back, in 2nd place we had Philippe on 29 points and Leader of the Pack this week was 3 Putt Pete on 30 points. Ensuring piles of balls went home, his kennel partner, Kim, was closest to the pin on the 12th.
We will play at Kurmitola next Saturday at the usual time.
With reference to the DOGS TOUR, I have attached details I have received from a highly recommended tour agent in Kunming for your information. I will need to start finalising the details etc and those of you wanting to go will need to get on and book flights. It is after all, the Eid week !!! The dates are 22nd to 28th October. Please will you let me know if you wish to join this really great trip.
