Turkey Trott 2 - The Stuffing
In 1700 his Great Granddad terrorised Scotland (Rob ROY)..in 1963 he moved to Somerset and his first job was to clear the snow from outside Windwhistle Golf Club - which was 8 foot deep and took 2 months...He is the love-child of a famous US Campaigner who never used his Surname ( Malcolm X) and a Singing Cowboy (Roy Rogers )...He loves Eggs for breakfast and is the significant other of the girl that went up and down the hill searching for liquid refreshment (Jack & Jill )...Born in December 1939 as Germany took over Poland...

Billy Hilson was up yesterday, and ended up playing the
Academy Course with Victor Gane. We learned that dear old Victor is mourning
the loss of his Wife Yvonne (Jackie) who passed away peacefully on 17th October 2019. Our
thoughts are with you Victor, and sorry we couldn't be there to support you -
but you know where to find us I'm sure.
..but we never stay gloomy for long...we don't have the time left....
Once the early heavy drizzle had subsided we enjoyed fairly reasonable conditions including the odd spell of sunshine, so the later starters definitely had a slight advantage.
Sorry for the abbreviated report but I have spent the last two hours in the bar with Frank Martin and Roger Davis, both trying to argue a two shot cut in my handicap.
This has left insufficient time to do any justice to today's events.
Please complain to any of us personally or the committee if you wanted more information.
The real truth is there are too many cards
to type up.
52 Entries, scores ranging from 39 right down to 17 and a couple of NR's.
Apologies for delay around 08:56 as the Club had booked Tee-Times as per a normal Roll-Up, which we are grateful for the grace and dignity of those affected to stand calmly by and let them tee-off.

| Dave & Jerry in jovial mood as they plod around in a 2-ball with Andy Beale being injured |
 |
| Barrie started with a Birdie on the first and bookended it with another on the 16th - but a mini-tantrum on the 18th may have just robbed him of cash today ... |
 ..but to be honest, that finish could be any one of us...… one day... |
 |
George as usual, just enjoying playing Golf and smiling the whole way around.,..
a fine example to all of us...
|
 |
| Roger definitely losing it on 5th and claims his Club landed perfectly alongside his bag after an eventful bunker shot or two... |
 |
| Mark quietly absorbing all the talk about his Handicap but enjoying some great shots again today, drive to 18th landed near the Greenside Bunker , followed by a chip for an Eagle 2.. Frank was explaining his late arrival after his latest Pottery Project, a scale model of Mark Cording's wallet - caused a bit of a tremor in Bridgewater and he had to slow it down a few clicks... |
