A lot cooler last weekend and about 18 of us turned up to have a crack at JK’s trophy’s playing Heritage and Classic.

JK was working out the novelty holes and decided nearest in three would be the fifth on Heritage. Both Steve and I said that was a fairly difficult hole to hit in three and tried to persuade him otherwise. But he stuck to his guns and proudly waved the red marker at me as I was standing on the green opposite to him. He lined up his putt for birdie from eight feet and proceeded to put it past  the hole by fifteen feet! Left the next one short and had knee trembling five footer for bogey. Dear oh dear what could have been.

Dom got rammed by Erin’s rouge new remote controlled buggy when the buggy decided not to respond to the remote’s commands. Despite the efforts of EK the buggy hit Dom in the back of his legs and buttocks repeatedly like a scene out of the movie  Duel! Apparently Dom let out blood curdling scream and then repeatedly abused Erin by telling him to turn the f…..g thing off. With Erin shouting back that he f…..g couldn’t! I was told that they both apologised to each other on the last tee and were seen having a drink together afterwards 

The Fluff Man got a bit irate with me playing our pairs match after he got a bogey on the eighth for three points to square it with OJ who got a par. I was scoring and said “well done that’s a square “. And he said “ no it’s four points I get two shots” I said “ no you get an extra shot it’s three and well done”

Now because we were falling a bit behind ( pretty much a hole and a half ) I was pushing everyone along because I was concerned that the course might push a group or two in front of us before we get to the back nine. So as we were walking down the ninth fairway Fluffy on one side me on the other  could see he wasn’t happy with the score. And then he rushed back towards me with some authority and said “ I get two shots it should be four points “ I said “ Fluff let’s just get through this hole with a win or a square and I’ll explain it to you on the tenth tee “. Off he went and played his shot which was good one. He then stormed back towards me again with even more purpose this time and steam shooting out of his ears. I was thinking that he was going to plant his fist  right on the end of my nose! I got in first this time and said “ Fluff calm down. Trust me I’m right with the scoring. Let’s get a win here “  he turned away and walked off towards his ball. Man seriously I thought I was going to be split open! Of course , I was starting to doubt myself that I was right. We got the win and after I explained to him how it worked we were all good .

To finish off Clappers deliberately duffed a chip on the last because he thought not using your Mulligan was a jug fine. I think it should be a jug fine for deliberately duffing a shot!

Winner Wilbur on a count back 42 points

Andy runner up also on 42

Thanks JK for the prizes
