How low can you go?
A fine day met the 12 mutts (including 2 guests & 1 associate stepping up) who assembled for the weekly carnage inflicted by us on Kurmitola. A new record was set by Marcel - one of our guests – by surpassing even the recent brave attempt of Phillipe to claim the lowest recorded score by a competitor in a DOGS round – a score which should stand for a long time to come – a massive 2 Stableford points. However as a guest he was excluded from the pleasure of the doodoo which was to be presented to the lowest regular DOG.
Having played with Leo and watched him play reasonably well over the back 9 only to see about 5 or 6 putts stop in the 2 – 6 inch zone it was nice to think he was only going to house the trophy as a “guest” of someone else – however Natalya’s 21 was also deemed to be out of play as she was a first time competitor with the DOGS and should also be excluded which meant Leo got reacquainted with his friend [the Doo-doo] as a full partner by clearing up the rear on 24 points (and saving myself on 26).
The rest of the scoring was of a middling level compared to lately with only 5 cards of 30 or above. Coming 3rd on countback was Pascal with 34 – a travesty given she was only 1 over par for the first 6 holes and picking up 3 birdies in the day (only outdone by Dingo Kate’s eagle at the island hole and its celebrations heard as far as the Aussie club). In 2nd place we had Rob Jones with his new R7 driver which he had demonstrated complete mastery of by driving directly into the panni directly in front of him on the first. Leader of the pack – and the master of winning only when the pool of balls is small – was the one and only Teb Marius – completing his day by also picking up the nearest the pin at the 12th.
Rover Cup takes place – riots permitting – at Savar on Friday with everyone meeting at the Army club at 7.30 for onward travel to Savar ensuring everyone who needs a lift is accommodated – please confirm your attendance with Kate.
