Saturday 2-Nov-2024 at Marangaroo:

Howdy. A coolish and overcast day greeted us at Marangaroo. But it soon turned into a warm sticky day with the usual jocundity happening around the course.

A bit more of a subdued start to proceedings than last week’s self unloading bags and buggy episode! With Steve jagging the number one parking spot at the bottom of the ramp. No trouble unloading this time. He the drove the cart down to the practice range only for it to stop five metres from the rope.  He decided to put into reverse and reverse up to the rope so he didn’t have to walk too far to get his clubs. But alas the cart wouldn’t move once he jumped back in to drive forward. The screen telling him he had driven outside the GPS parameter. The sight of four DAGS pushing the so said cart back into range was a sight to behold. And it seems all cart drivers had issues with GPS parameters once again this week 

So to the first tee. Tampo in the first group smacks one down the middle and I was told it was 240 metre drive! Impressive. 120 metres to go Tampo must of been thinking par and at worst a three putt bogey. TAMPOOOOO trudged off the green with a 10 and 2 WIPE!

Still on the first tee. Pricles says to Baz

“ I don’t want to hear any swearing from you today! “. Prickles proceeded to swear on pretty much every shot he played including his first. The swear jar would have been overflowing had there been one.

Now I’ve heard all sorts of stories within this club.  But when Joe said to me, Linds and Tony ( while we are looking  for his ball on the par five fifth ) that it went straight down the middle! I thought  well now I’ve heard it all! I can’t say I’ve seen to many of Joes shots ( apart from putts ) go straight let alone down the middle. We found his ball about ten feet off the fairway on the right hand side. A long way from the middle!

Something I’m glad I didn’t witness was the dead roo on the right side of the 11th tee box with a crow  picking at its ass!

Probably the softest part 

Now the best part of the day was the announcements. Tampo runner up and Pigster ….. Winner ( trophy ) to go along with Worst Net ( $5 to Tony ) and least putts ( golf ball ). Two out of three ain’t bad 

Barbarians ( Green )

Gropers ( yellow )

Let the battle begin !
