Ambrose Four, 14 December 2013

Tuart Course, Wembley Golf Complex, 14 December 2013.

Stroke Play

Prize sponsor: No one - no prize today, just a warm hand-shake from the captain

And finally we have a 38 degree scorcher, after all we are well into summer.
Today we are playing Ambrose Four, everyone seems to enjoy the idea of a more relaxed game, more room for less than perfect shots.
There was some misunderstanding at the beginning of the day, as to whether it was a stableford or stroke play. As a matter of fact I don't think it makes much difference for the Ambrose Four, but in any case my group was the fourth one in the timesheet and we were instructed to pass the message on to the groups ahead, it was good fun and, frankly, therapeutic to yell at the nearby fairways from the bush or climbing on a branch of a tree.



  
Scores.

TEN BEST CADDIE REMARKS:

#10 Golfer: "Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."
Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that long?"

#9 Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course."
Caddy: "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

#8 Golfer: "Do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy: "Yes, you miss the ball much closer now."

#7 Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."

#6 Golfer: "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world."
Caddy: "I don't think so, that would be too much of a coincidence."

#5 Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a distraction."
Caddy: "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

#4 Golfer: "How do you like my game?"
Caddy: "Very good, but personally, I prefer golf."

#3 Golfer: "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?
Caddy: "The way you play, it's a sin on any day."

#2 Golfer: "This is the worst course I've ever played on."
Caddy: "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago."

#1 Best Caddy Comment:
Golfer: "That can't be my ball, it's too old."
Caddy: "It's been a long time since we teed off, sir."


And the old favorite.....is the one about the Golfer who has been
slicing off the tee at every hole. He finally gives up and asks his
long suffering caddy if he has seen any obvious problems to which the caddy replies, "There's a piece of shit on the end of your club." The Golfer picks his club up and cleans the club face at which point the caddy says, "No, the other end."
