Various games

Sponsored by meself cos this has nowt to do with the golf,





As many of you know, i am now a slightly more broken man than previously thought but at least this gives me a good reason for my very poor play! Hehehehehhehe


anyways,,,,,,,

i'm sure the ghost writer will do the honour of producing the results in a timely manner so nobody will miss out on the important things 

i will still however, add my little piece of poetic genius as and when i can, especially if i get some info to work on

HINT, HINT


As a Mr John Snow said,,,,,


apparently last week it was here as the rain fell, winds blew and golf was abandoned,,,,, 

so what do we do when we are given a FREE DAY???? 

It's very weird, and we were slightly disorientated,,,, so Kerry and i headed out


to brekky and had a great time a we scoffed on the most fabulous Brekky Pizza.

Damn it was good!









So what's the news,,,, 



Well i've had a few little messages and the prize award goes to the Scarlet Pimpernel who was suitably gutted as he rocked up early, and found the best parking space in the world EVERS,,,, 

only to have it taken away as the game was cancelled!


Life is indeed a Karma Be-atch (say that phonetically and you'll get it!)


The only other quote that i heard of was 

"Missing the green with a wedge,,, is like missing your mouth with fork!"


quality work!


And as for Saturday,,,,, once again i have no results, so WELL DONE whoever won!
Hopefully the Golden Hole didn't go off.

I did hear a couple of vague rumours:-

Ciaron- DQ due to "Bad partner" not signing his card!



Earle- The gutted lolly meister


General Slow Play-


I hope to see you all soon,,,, and remember,,,, Camping is not necessarily Glamping!

WABGA Trophy 2016- Fellowship Day

WA Blind Golfers Association sponsored by SOS.



And so it was the return of the WABGA group to Wembley to try and reclaim the Trophy.
The mysterious Ron StarGazer Conway was once again absent, is he running scared? Or doesn't he know which way to place his allegiance?
Nobody knows,,,,,, mmmm the mystery grows.

We do know he was missed by both groups.
One member was heard to cry:-

"Mr Lonely misses Mr Conway!"            Ahhhh bless!


Unfortunately due to a few injuries (too many to name) i decided to rest up and have a lazy day, but to earn some brownie points i dropped The Beloved Wifey up at the club and collect her later.

System Failure or System Overload????



And just as well as Brett Lady for a Day Fordi had forgotten the wine for the the prizes, which i could collect on my way back

Mmmmm now what shall i get?

I reckon a cheeky bottle of Bowlers Run could've easily have done the job!


Especially at $2.50 a bottle,,,, hehehehe





Anyway, enough of the drivel as i wasn't around for long, and my imagination is erring towards the inappropriate,,,,, so onwards and upwards my beautiful peeps.


Captain's Corner
And now some wise words from El Capitan & First Lady:-

Please note the return to The Boulevarde after the game this coming Saturday for drinks, presentations & fines.
A few handicap changes after Fellowship Day – 
Gim up 1 to 19 (GA 17.5), Greg up 1 to 23 (GA 21), Ian up 1 to 20 (GA 18.1).
Congrats to Derek for 1st and Fran for lollies – a real family affair!
Next week is Par on the Tuart with Graeme Powell as sponsor.

Thanks to all the players and to the caddies for a great afternoon!
An ESPECIALLY big shout out should go to first time Caddy Jody, who partnered her fella, Davo Martin on her birfday!
Love & Dedication indeed,,,,,,




As has become custom El Presidente presented a donation to Phyllis and the WABGA members.

Phyllis beautifully responded with a great speech,,,,,,,, 

i particularly liked the part where she condoned all the bad behavior and colourful extreme language of BOTH teams.

hehehehee, i told you all that Excessive Swearing Fine was a doozy!

Fines of the Week
Unfortunately since i wasn't there for much of the day, so my accumulation of the Fines is not one of the best.

I was just gonna make some up, but i'm a bit tired,,,,, and i've been stuck in front of this laptop for far too long, plus i'm still broken and i've run out of wine,,,, 

Brett's texts to Earle-- simply has to be fined for his 'Friday playful if slightly dirty' messages regarding his fellow team mates for the following day.
Yes i have read them, and they are truly BRILL but i have been sworn to secrecy,,,, 


Gim to Brett-- "Ahhh Brett i see we're in an all girl group today"
This totally condones Brett secretive pre-match texts :-)



Earle-- for previously not declaring where he goes at 8:15am every other Friday,,,,,,,,, apparently he's been found out as it's for his regular appointment with a chiro, but let's start some gossip mongering eh?



Peter-- for again spilling my beer, not only once but twice!!!!
As Dave Martin beautifully replied to hearing the event unfurl cried out:-
"we want a drug test!" 
You'll be glad to hear all was made well again, as a replacement beverage appeared quickly appeared.

Plus it must be stated that other than that, Peter had a great day as he managed a 60m CHIP IN on the 10th for par!
I'm sure it was positively Tiger-Esque,,,,,,,Well done matey!!!!

I heard a reason that they're saving money, but this is literally taking the piss!
And to cap it all i hurt my back.
