27 Dec

19.5 fit young men assembled at Carramar today for Andy’s Ladies Founding Fathers Day Team Stableford Comp – fah harg that’s a mouthful, the ALFFDTSC!

Andy did his level best to explain the rules (simple rules) but copped a heap of bickering, petty complaints, and political positioning, for his trouble. The rest of us really appreciate your efforts Andy, and playing off the red tees brought everyones “caring” side out. Thank you.

OF INTEREST:

·         Ball buyer Baz backed out on his threat of “if no ball money, no balls” for this week. Good to see some common sense for once!

·         Half fit Dom played very well considering what he has been thru. RSI from typing is the sort of injury that takes most mortals years to recover from.

·         Worst putts went to groups 3+4+5. That’s 12 people or $60, that Tony DIDN’T get cause there were no fines today. SENSATIONAL.

·         And on a matter that may need the Ombudsmans input, Graeme Dorell drove 200m up and past group 4 on the 17th. A very dangerous play in which serious injury was narrowly avoided. Graeme bought us all a drink so we forgave him. Thanks Kiwi, top bloke.

WINNERS:

On 53 points (after some argy bargy) were the grouping of JK - Steve - Aussie - Baz. Very well done guys, and they made off with Tony’s 4 bottles of very fancy Marg River wine. Thank you Tone.

M9:

The second group of Greg - Dom – Tampo - Brad share the mug for Jan. Well done guys. BUT can you PLEASE advise, in advance, when it’s Dom’s turn? Starters could be down that day.

Till next time,

Pete
