MatchPlay round 1

Welcome to the much awaited First Round of the MatchPlay for 2015, and didn't the golfing gods bring the weather for the day,,, that was until the end of the day but more about that later.

And it all began with El Capitano reading the riot act, and trying to explain the rules of MatchPlay.

And Kerry putting the training drills into action her second lesson with Patches,,, plus I believe there will be some extra-curricular golf with Peter on a Tuesday arvo,,,eh? eh? anything i need to know about here??????

Is that a cheeky grin I see on your face Peter???

For some of us we tried to get in early with a few sledges, but as I found out there is no point when you are playing Lynne who very replied to ALL my texts (there were a few) throughout the week with her usual succinct aplomb!

In other words Lynne gave back more than she received even stating that her Penants Game the day before was an annihilation 6&5 to Lynne. 
Oh, it didn't bode well for the standard mix of lack of sleep and hangover for Mr G (well there was some cricket to be watched on the TV),,,,

To make matters worse, I was even heckled & sledged by Lynne's fella, Bob, on Saturday night!
Is there no escape from the ignominy of defeat!!!!!

It wasn't just me who suffered from the backlash of the MatchPlay, but i believe there were a couple of other little 'disagreements',,, 
such as Gary & Colin  

and Phil McKeague refusing to play with Herman ze German*


*(that's a blatant fabrication and a serious abuse of dramatic license as Phil was 'called up' to play in an earlier group!) 

And the general throttling of the winner between Graeme & Gordon,,, 

There must be a BIG WELCOME BACK to the shy and retiring Charmaine & Roland, but it was noted how quiet they were!

The management sorting out the cards,,,,,

At the end of the game we all settled down for a cheeky brew, and the marvellous Toastie Platter,,,,,,

but for some it all got a little bit chilly, so let's hope for next week The Management manage to buy in a few of these lovely things to keep us warm whilst we imbibe.
Plus of course a hip flask with some winter warmers!
You know what i mean Gordon,,,,,
