Easter Blog- the Phantom Menace

Well, well, well, who could've predicted this eh? 









No golf for the masses, but onwards and upwards,,,, we shall not be deprived,,,,, you WILL still get a Phantom Blog to keep you informed, in touch and hopefully amused (if not bemused)











But first a few words from our beloved leader, The El Presidente himself, 4D


"I trust that you are all keeping well, self isolated and not going too stir crazy without your weekly SOS golf outings. What a way for me to take the reins from Derek, first week in - we close the club !!! (so far this job is far easier than Derek made out).

While we have all been parked up the committee has continued to communicate and we have had our first virtual meeting (more in the Blog about that debacle), and I would like to give you a brief update on the actions to date and the very fluid plans we have behind the scenes.


In the best interests of the health of our members, on Tuesday 24 March the Committee approved to cancel bookings until further notice, including for play on Saturday 28th March. Glen Pope advised Wembley Golf Course of the committee’s decision and obtained credit of the fees paid in advance. Later that morning Wembley Golf Club advised that the Town of Cambridge had closed the course and related facilities until further notice."

So the question is,,,,, is it open or not? I believe the Tuart Course has reopened but limited in it's play, and conditions,,,,, further communique will follow.



But since i've brought up the topic of communication,,,,,, rumours abounded about the

FIRST EVER VIRTUAL COMMITTEE MEETING!

I think it'd be fair to say it didn't quite go as planned,,,,, 

-first it was on Whattsapp, but not everybody could join

-then it was a merged Iphone call 

-then Stiff and The WeatherMan tried to join on Whattsapp,,,,,, can you imagine the chaos and frustration????? Hehehhheee

-then random phonecalls, and more merging, then text messaging!!!!! 

Blimey i hear you say,,,,, what a shamozzle (insert a better descriptor if you chose as per the BlogMeister's normal vernacular!)

The final straw was soon to be illustrated by a perfectly engineered Blond Moment, as presented by Stiff, who after checking realised that she had given The Committee the wrong phone number!!!!!! 



Anyway, i believe it all got sorted in the end, and i'm told the next meeting will be on:-

Zoom??
Whatsapp??
Skype??
FaceTime??
Imerge??
Microsoft Teams??

Look out for updates,,,,,,,, 



What have the rest of us been up to to help alleviate the isolation






The Treasurer is continuing to practice to make damn sure the Garcia's and Mickelson's are kept firmly at bay,,,,,


tough read that on the carpet Treasurer,,,, ;-)






Whereas Wifey and the BlogMeister suffered the effects of isolation,,,,, 

went slightly bonkers,,,,,

and had an Easter Egg Battle of the Pool,,,,,

unfortunately though both 'ships' floated, they quickly succumbed to the afternoon tsunami.










Others decided to eat their way through it!

No names mentioned here,,,,, but you know who you are!!











And some just went, pun intended,

"bat-shite crazy"








HOPEFULLY WE MIGHT ALL GET A BIT OF ACTION NEXT WEEK.

ROCK ON PEOPLE AND STAY SAFE!!!
