Un aigle montant!
Saturday was a pleasant day for golf and we timed the round perfectly with the rain descending just as the last 4 ball walked off the 18th. The numbers were slightly down this week with 17 mongrels playing. Next week the numbers will be down substantially as it is the start of the Eid week and school half term. However, there will be Dogs golf for those who remain to keep the economy afloat whilst the rest of us disappear to boost other nations economies.
The scores this week were generally very good..... with the Standard scratch this week being 35 points !!! Admittedly, the 'system' has now been 'tweaked' to reflect only the top 1/3rd of scores for handicap calculations as opposed to the whole field which we have been using up until now to ensure that the handicaps were a fair reflection of the state of peoples play !!!! The 'proper handicapping' system seems to be working well.
At the tail end we had one very shy dog.... she tried to lose her card but we the sent the 'sniffers' in and retrieved it.... Lissette took up where Gus left off..... 15 points earned her the honour of Doodoo of the week !!! The nearest contender was Rob Jones with 24 points !! At the head of the pack we had loads of mutts with 30+points... 11 to be precise !! Ian Wright was nearest to the pin on the 8th... and was still a good 25 feet from the pin !! In 3rd place we had Pascale on 35 points. Mal Robbins lost on count back for 2nd position on 38 points from Philippe... a very stunned Philippe and Leader of the Pack!!! I need to mention here that Philippe had a magnificent 'eagle' on the 11th where he hit a full blooded 2nd shot into the green and straight into the hole to earn himself 5 points !! Well done, Philippe !!
On the social front.... we have not had a Dogs dinner for while... any volunteers for hosting something in November ??
Once again, we have St Andrews night approaching fast and to celebrate this important occasion the Caledonian Society is hosting its Annual ball. It will be held at the Radisson on 24th November. Last year the Dogs had 2 tables at the event and it was a great night. If you are interested in attending this years ball please would you contact me as soon as possible in order in order that I may book the tables.
