SOS Golf: Winter Cup Rnd 2

Sponsored by the beautiful returning Frances.
(welcome back to The Travelling Longhursts after their adventures in PNG and Queensland)

And so came the second round of the SOS Winter Cup after a week of DQ's and much self-discovery we mustered ourselves to perfect our golf and indeed our scoring!

However,,,,,, as alluded to in my non-blog email we did have one more DQ!!!!!

Who was the latest faller from grace?
Did you guess?

Yes indeedy it was El Capitain himself who was ruled out for signing for a wrong number on his card.

There was some kind of reason and i think Ze German might have been to blame somewhere, but it all got a bit lost in translation,,,,,

Actually i might have just made that up for poetic license, so please ignore that,,, hehehehehe

But it did put a smile on Mr Oirish's face, if only for a brief minute or two.

And so off we toddled down to the first to face battle, and i had the joy of playing in a group of 3 DQ's & a Tricky.
Now according to Sticky, that is apparently a great hand in poker,,,,,,, but it did nothing for any of our games as we sprayed our balls to all parts!

There was absolutely no need for any sledging, as we all played so badly, and i have to say that when i came off my face was hurting sooo much through laughing so much at all of our random antics!

Novelties
Unfortunately or fortunately i didn't take any record of the novelties,,,,,, i think i was still p*ssing myself with laughter!

So if you won, well done!!!!
and if you didn't there is always next week,,,,

Fines of the Week
Well, well, well,,,,, where do we start?
I think there can only be one place and that is with Sticky!

Ciaran-- After such a marvellous round of golf (NOT)
which according to Sticky was entirely El Capitain's fault, he decided to not only compete for Northern Ireland in the club throwing javelin event at the Rio Olympics,,,,

But also for the FULL HOUSE in the Fines, with nearly every one earned and paid for!
Top work dude, it was an absolute pleasure playing with you.

And to help follow a certain theme:-

Gordo-- With the new de-haired look we all expected much from the big man as he strode purposefully to the tee.
Unfortunately he lost not only his hair, but his rag,,,,, as he lost control and demonstrated his strength as he snapped and threw his $500 driver,,,,,, heheheheheheeeeeeeee

Vickie-- in response to the Gordo/Samson display of strength Vickie The LawBird passed down a sentence of 50 lashes.
Unbeknown to The LawBird but Gordo was already sentencing himself to drinkin a copious amount of 150 Lashes!!

Tom-- now Torvill & Dean Tomothy deserves a mention for showing his MASSIVE bruise on his thigh from his efforts at the ice rink last week.
He was either a little inebriated, or simply clumsy as he was allegedly 'attacked' by an evil penguin.
On the plus side,,,, the Bacon Fairy was there for him in his hour of need.

Then there was Greg-- who announced to everybody in a loud, proud and enthusiastic voice
"God i was hot in bed last night!"

And finally, we have poor old Malcolm-- who was going soooo well until he encountered a most unforgiving pot bunker.
Apparently it was reminiscent of a mining excavator as he hacked, smashed and flopped his way for a record-breaking 20 shots in the sand.......
In his defence i did hear he originally had a very bad lie????!!!
