Leo dials in and OK has the wrong number

The outlook was grim and Scuba kit was more appropriate than golf attire at the start of the game. It had rained 'cats and dogs' for the previous 12 hours. However, as always, lady luck was on the side of the good guys and the rain stopped at 12 o'clock when 20 mongrels gathered at the 1st tee to squelch their way round the course. In reality and surprisingly, it was not that bad under foot .......... as the scores showed !!

Once the pack had regrouped back in the clubhouse some confusion reigned. The score cards indicated that Madeleine had grabbed the Doodoo trophy for the second time in a row with 16 points. Kim (alias Wriggly!!) was saved from getting her first Doodoo honour with only 18 points. But then - low and behold - OK announced that I had read out the wrong score for her.......... Oh dear !!! What I had read out was in fact correct as per the card she had signed.... therefore disqualification, and as a result the Doodoo trophy moved up the table to OK... much to her horror !!!

Nearest the Pin was a unique experience this week as the distances were declared equal between Lars and Pascale. Despite 'umpteen' attempts at measurement no difference could be seen so the balls were split !!! At the top end of the pack, we once again had Lars in 3rd place with 33 points and a revised handicap to leave the DOGs with !! In 2nd place was Lissette on 34 points playing for the first time in a couple of months having been away sunning herself in the Netherlands. She also enjoys a new handicap !! And Leader of the Pack was Leo on 36 points having played brilliantly on the front 9 accumulating 24 points but then the wheels came off and he struggled to get 12 on the back. Yet it was still good enough to take the trophy and big balls !! Well done Leo. Enjoy your new handicap!!

Next week we will meet at the same time at the same place. I will be away over the next couple of weeks having a thoroughly good break away with my family in Greece. Peter M has kindly agreed to step in for me. I look forward to seeing you all on my return.
