In reverse order.

3rd - Me

2nd - mummywhycantieatcrayons (Who, it must be said, is a terrific Golfer)

And in first place:

El Commie La Bandito !!!

Well, in the searing heat, the points were as follows:

Commie - 33
Mummywhycanieatcrayons - 30
Bruce - 26

I birdied the first and it was all downhill from there. Champagne moment of the round was when Commie holed a 60-foot chip to save his par on the par-5 third.

I lost a couple of balls on the back nine, and am not at all bitter that I was ceding 21 shots

each to these two 'grown men', who both happen to be top blokes.

Yes I have to admit Mummy ( though it's not much of an admission!) is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better than either myself of Bruce, -on the first fairway we did have a quiet word with each other that we just need to make sure we didn't embarass ourselves in front of this young whippersnapper who was out driving either of us by a good 30 yards.

Stapleford is the way to go is you've got high handicappers vs low handicappers, otherwise me and Bruce might as well have packed up and gone home at the first!!

Sitting out in the sunshine today and being all nice to the wife, you'll never know how many times I wondered how you guys could cope with the pain of having to play golf in this glorious weather. I am definitely in for the next one, come what may

When would people be free for the real deal then? At least I've seen the course now - I'll be much less inclined to carve it all over the fecking place when the trophy is on the line and I know where I'm going (not that Commie's advice on this point was in anyway deficient or misleading!).

Bruce, where are the 'action shots'?

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 11:47 pm

PM me your emither address and I'll send them to you. I've not put any of them up as I hadn't had a say so from either of you and didn't want to just bung 'em up.

I suppose it's too much to ask what each did 'off the stick'?

Shame I missed this but for next time I will be there. Even better if we can knock it around a home game.

How would 20th August suit people?

ratbert · Post by **ratbert** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:18 pm

Decks are clear for me to take part. Interesting looking at those scores, I got 98 there a few weeks back...

I've played on a course twice in the last 10 years.

Ah, most enlightening, Crayons - I didn't think you'd put them up, to be honest.

Sounds like you had a grand day. Well done. It's a pity I couldn't make it as I might have given Bruce a run for his money for the wooden spoon (I haven't played for thirty years or so). Good luck with the big one if it happens.

If I magically learn how to drive and pass my test within the next month or so (and let's face it, given that I'm not learning at the moment it's a long shot) then I'll come over, but it's a bit difficult to lug my clubs around otherwise

.

One day, though, I'll come out for a hack with you lot. Sure you don't fancy playing in Liverpool?

V festival at Weston Park for me I'm afraid.

ok 13th of August then?

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 9:22 am

Had my knee 'done' yesterday so 20th would probably be best for me, but I'll keep you posted.

I'll go with the flow. But I'll be there this time.
