And what an adventure it was,,,,,,,, all was good until the ship turned into a mobile virus making everybody sick.
Even my alcohol system didn't prevent my normal hardy constitution from succumbing to the evils of The Dreaded Lurgie!!!!
And to make it even worse our first game back was in the FKN RAIN!!!!!!!
Arrrggggghhhhhh just go away and bring on the sun.
PLEASE no more!!!!!
Allied to the rain was the wind which made for a beautiful conditions for quality speedy play,,,,, NOT!
And for one of the first times i had to pay my excessive swearing fine before i had even teed off!!!!!
On the plus side there was the Welcome Guest for Gavin, a big hitting mucker of Ciaran Sticky mcGlue,,,,,,,,,, word was that he nearly drove the 17th with a 4 iron!
I look forward to seeing that live sometime soon dude!!!!!
So what else happened apart from the rain and wind.
The Results

| Grumpy Snail |
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, a very frustrated group of golfers yomped off the course after a round that took some of us FIVE & A HALF HOURS!!!!!!!
Arrrrrrgghhhhhh!
For the love of The Grumpy Snail,,,,,can we please keep pace with the group ahead!
And if you do fall behind,,, as many of us do after looking for golfballs etc,,,,, please try your utmost to catch up.
Despite the slowness there clearly was some quality golf that was played, as you can see by the scores:-
And the winner is Greg Bennett!!!!
Well done Greg for a marvellous round in trying conditions. You were clearly able to keep the ball below the wind.

Fines of the Week
First game back for a while and there were a few notable 'performances' worthy of mention in this section.
So in no particular order, as merit has to go to the first one for being one of the best:-
Vickie-- In order to protect the innocent, and the reputation of certain members...... the following is from Anonymous of Wembley.
Allegedly,,, The Captain's Wife had a bit of a dummy-spit after her game and ripped up her scorecard before getting into the bar.
Is this true? Or pure defamatory? We'll find out on saturday hehehhehhehee
Stan-- For identifying & examining Stiff's schoolgirl error of wearing white trousers on a wet, rainy day!
Stiff-- for losing control of her cart in the wind and catching it just before it sunk into the lake.
Paul-- For being a general grumpy old b'stard before the start of the game and having to pay up for Excessive Swearing even before a ball had been hit!
Don-- When Sticky asked for a match to light his cigarette,,,, being a smart ass and saying:-
"I don't have a match but i've got a Samsung!"
Quality!!!!!!
Fran-- Sorry to fine you Fran but for a random injury,,,, causing a withdrawal from the game.
Damn those sprinkler heads.
We all hope you get well soon Fran.
The TV in the Bar-- for being generally angry and striking two of the SOS members on the head, and acting in a most aggressive fashion!
hehehehe
Random Pics
Post match discussions about the golf, and angry TV's.
