Grim Gus grabs doodoo
Despite serious hangovers following a night at the Glitter Ball the numbers on the 1st tee box were impressive. 19 dogs started with one dog appearing for the last 9 holes.... I am assured that his absence from the front 9 was work related and absolutely nothing to do with the very severe hangover he had woken up with !!!!!
The weather has now moved into the pleasant season.... not too hot with a nice breeze to cool things down. The course is in a reasonable state although there is not much run on the ball. It was made more interesting for the men as the tee markers had been moved to different places... some were played very far back whilst others were a bit forward. Sods law... the long holes were further back and the short ones forward !!! However, the results were generally good with the Standard scratch (SS) on Stableford points at 33 .... down from last weeks 35 based on the top 1/3rd of players. This week there was no one in the teens and Gus with his 21 points took the Doodoo trophy home with him. OK was very twitchy on 24 points believing that she was going to have the pleasure of kennelling the beloved thing for the next week. In the balls.... 3 Putt Pete was closest to the pin on the 8th. We had 4 people on 32 points ... Pete who had a blinding front 9 with 22 points but collapsed on the back losing on count back to Pascale for 4th place. In 3rd place was me..... oh dear, do I regret the 6 inch putt I missed on the 12th!!! In second place we had Mal and Leader of the Pack, way out in front was Philippe with 37 points. Well done Philippe, you have a new handicap..... of 26 !! Kim will, as usual, let you all have the other handicap changes.
Next week we will meet at the usual time at Kurmitola. Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there for the start as I have work commitments... anyone who arranges Board meetings on a Saturday should be shot at dawn !!!! Gus has kindly agreed to do the necessary.
