Mates Day 2 from 4 Stableford
Happy Good Friday
What a lovely little Roll-Up that was on the most gorgeous day, passing 22 Degrees at times.
Only 3 turned up for the Early slot, so they just did their own thing, with Mr John Bonney joining them after a long battle to get back to fitness.
The 08:45 group were sitting there nice and casual, happy to have an informal draw...until the numbers continued to rise and the cards became necessary. Captain & Vice were both on parade and as numbers went past 22, he agreed to let The Chicken-Farmer Mr. Screwfix play their Summer Knockout where Chris Hiam overcame Richard Forster 5 & 3 we believe.
...so the draw was done with a perfect 20 names..until Ian Fielder leapt up and shouted 'Where's my name ?, I've been here for half an hour!' ...but unfortunately didn't spot that everyone else was paying their £1 Entry and sliding up their card...but fortunately we have a Captain that is more Sir Peter Scott that Spencer-Farr and he stood aside and entered the Club Easter bonnet comp, which he won easily as they thought he was wearing and Easter-Egg type hat !
Amazingly the Draw produced all those from the 'H' slot in Team 1, then all the 'B's' in team 2, EFGH in Team 3 etc.
We were able to free up several slots for the Club as it looked a busy day out there.
So the 2 from 4 Stableford should have produced a par Score of around 72, but Nobby & Co smashed that out of the park

Farmer Bob was examining the cards and Nobby's contribution of 36 on just 13 Holes with 5 blanks. Nobby attempted to prevent Bob handing the card to Frank by protesting 'yes, but I could of scored on the other 5 but someone else had 3 points !
AS we left, the normally polite Nick Hill asked me if my team only had 3 players !
We have several things to add over the weekend - a letter from Stuart looking for sponsors for the Charity Day on May 2nd and a note from the Captain to push the St George's Day bash on Friday 26th April (not forgetting the Fish & Chips on the same evening) - The captain had asked us to mention Red, White & Blue until it was pointed out that The Blue only came 372 Years AFTER the Dragon ate St. George. |
