The August KLOGS event was held at the perennial favourite Staffield. all played at this course many times. The enjoyment of playing at this venue never wanes due to the Western and Southern Nines was great with sometimes gusting winds. overseas we had in as “Moneybags” and registration went soothly allowing for a timely start.

The final scores were evenly split between those playing a sub enjoyed more golf. Stuart Taylor tore up amazing round. The results of the day’s proceedings

  • 1st place: Stuart Taylor 90 gross 44 points cut 8
  • 2nd place: Klaus Kretzschmar 92 gross 39 points cur 2
  • 3rd place: Rick Brown 104 gross 32 points cut 1*

*Tough luck Rick. Richard Parr was 3rd on points but as a guest can’t be on the winner’s list.

  • NTP front nine: no one
  • NTP back nine: Stuart Taylor (
  • Longest Drive: John Arkinstall with 234 meters
  • Last Birdie: John Preston

We had an excellent dinner at the club which was marred only by the fact that our absent Moneybags had (again!) not made arrangements for the wine. The backlog of those who are owed a bottle is ever increasing.

El Pres stared his spiel by welcoming the three guests. He then gave a blow by blow account why our sponsors could not attend. We are however as always very grateful to the sponsors being Ye Old Club House, Wines Direct, City Golf and Robert Frager.

The November Away is firming up and the destination will almost certainly be Siem Riep.

The call for COTD nominations yielded four nominations:

  • John Preston: For attempting to increase the day’s fees
  • Karl Muir: For making a fashion statement with his Calvin Klein briefs (as an aside the German word “klein” means small)
  • Stuart Taylor: Klaus walking in front of Stuart dropped his glove. Stuart bent down to retrieve pick up the glove. A surprised cry ensued when to Allan McNicoll bumped into the bent over Stuart. You get the picture.
  • Klaus Kretzschmar: For allegedly stealing Allan’s honour on some tee box

Stuart was crowned COTD (although Allan did have a share in this)
