Perfect conditions for the opening day of the 2021-2022 season featuring a round of golf at Royal Wembley to compete for the Perry Lake Cup so generously donated by the renowned Lorenzo Ferrentino in 2014.
The stableford competition was on the Tuart Course where the greens were a lot faster than the cored Old Course which had been played over the last several weeks. For those not prepared, putts consistently over-shot the hole making three putts, and sometimes 4, an inevitability!

The Game
There were several highlights of the day, one of which is covered later in the blog.
Another was what Barry did to his non motorised buggy on the 15th fairway! Having launched a massive drive down the center right of the fairway, Barry was feeling very ebullient in the knowledge the ball must have traveled well over 200 meters. So, after leaving the tee he gave his buggy a shove so that it could free-wheel down the hill. Well, the buggy kept on going and going and going until it ran into the trees on the right side of the fairway, only 100 metres or so from the green!! Barry had to walk another half a kilometre to retrieve his bag of clubs in order to take his second shot!
Barry goes in search of his buggy! |
