Friday 19th August - The Rains came at last...

About 15 rolled up as usual as Mike Hone demonstrated the Weather Radar on his new phone and convinced Maurice we would be Ok.....

30 Minutes later.....


But The Teams went out to play a Texas Scramble.

Team 2 were back first with a nice card showing Gross 72 but reduced to 61.99 after handicaps from Mick, Nobby and JKP were deducted. Unfortunately they were DQ by Farmer Bob as they had used the 'Par' box instead of the Score Box on all the holes after the 6th.

So Nobby made the walk of shame...















Team 1 was Brian Anderson, Cucumber Mike and Roger...who got out onto East Course until the incessant rain stepped it up a gear....


So we all left, with Farmer Bob, Bob the Builder, Eyesight Ian and little Mo Peep still out on the course somewhere..so we await their story to unfold.

..and the cucumbers were still up there.

Norman returned from the Nurburgring  in Germany and took down the Battle of Britain Start List, Bert says Open on September 6th is going really well, with Tee Times solid from 08:00 to 14:00 - but remember the list closes in 5 Days so get your name / team up on the list quickly.


and for your smile of the day...


Stop here if you are easily offended although
technically everything  is just innuendo



 Here are the top nine comments made by sports commentators during the Olympics that they would like to take back:



 1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."



 2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."



 3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."



 4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."



 5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."



 6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."



 7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."



 8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."



 9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them . . . Oh my God, what have I just said?"
