Summer Cup Rnd 2

First, a thank you to our celebrity blogger, Paul, who has entertained and informed us over the last two weeks.

And a welcome to celebrity blogger Peter, who will be looking after us for the next three weeks. 

 ...or swing the club?

In the meantime, the second round of the Summer Cup. Currently held by Max, will someone else be able to wrest it from his grasp this week? 

To save time, let's fill in all these dots before we get started

Enjoying the ambiance..

Well, they most probably will wrest it from Max, as he didn't play last week and it's a two week competition. 

Some of last weeks leaders didn't quite live up to ours and their expectations this week

Prompting Richard Yeo to observe that "the gods have feet of clay"

Upon which we mentioned that this expression derived from the classic poem Ozymandias, by Shelley. (That's Percy Bysshe Shelley, not Shelley Yeo).  Interestingly, on Googling, it appears that Shelley was himself inspired by the dream of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, as recounted in the Book of Daniel: 

This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. (Daniel 2:31-33)

Which, whilst of passing interest, has little relevance to today's golf, so moving on.. .... 


Richard had some fun with an unplayable in the trees



The novelties provided some keen competition, but the Golden Hole remains unclaimed.

That Glen can give me a lesson anytime..

And as a special treat we handed out some of our other trophies that have now been engraved. Thank you, Gary




Not forgetting Paul's absolutely cracker of a hole in one at the Par 3 competition last week at Lake Claremont

And let's not forget the raffle

Next week, Stableford on the Old. Be there.
