With El Scribe off on a month’s jaunt around Europe the scribe report this month was kindly prepared by El Pres himself. So no photos for this month’s report.
There were (eventually) 14 players for the April monthly game at Amverton Cove. Given the recent weather the course was as dry as the proverbial bone. Weather was hot and somewhat Hazy .
Result Summary:
(For Full results refer to tabulation at end of report)
Ex El Pres and Leprechaun Basher – Martin Walsh -was clear Winner with 39 points after card check (very cunningly ensuring he does not receive additional cutfor over 40 points!). As Martin had to leave the post golf events early – Geoff Kindly drank his Tankard Beer for Martin!
A very creditable second place was Wine Winner (Hi – and Ear Wax candle maker – Andrew Robinson
Third Place was none other than our own Vintner – Richard Rodwell with 33 points (this amassed stableford points total gives some indication of the scoring of the rest!!!!!) and more importantly:
Martin Cut 4 strokes
Andrew Cut 2 strokes
Richard Cut 1 stroke
Novelties
A bit of a cock up with the NTP’s and LD (the Amverton Cove Management forgot to place marker boards and tapes on the holes that THEY had published to us for NTP’s and LD – NTPs #7 & 17 and LD #8 as printed on the scorecards!!!!!!
EL PRES decided to give NTP’s to our 2 new guests, (Steve Jacobs and Andy Whelan – hope you enjoyed your first outing guys) given the additional 50 RM guests have to pay and the LD went to Ray Funnell by drawing a scorecard of the rest of the players names other than the 3 winners.
LOWEST GROSS prize went to Geoff Mclaws with 89 strokes (albeit Martin and Richard shot 83 and 88 respectively – thats what happens when you are on the winners podium!))
Dan Brod deservedly got LAST BIRDIE especially as he kept EL PRES well lubricated with liquid refreshment during the hot and hazy round!
Fines
We managed to collect some fines to boost the KLOGS coffers from HONESTY JUG contributions from Messrs: Funnell, Jacobs, Brod and Rodwell – TQ Guys ……….and last but by no means least – COTD
There were 3 major nominations, with one outstanding nomination that reflected the performance of the lesser players on the day!
COTD Nominations
Paul Geddes: the only player who had a ‘hot’ meal in the allocated dining room (all on his lonesome) whist all other players were upstairs at the clubhouse having a beer!
Dan Brod: One of his playing partners asked what he was wearing on his wrist – to which another of his playing partners remarked that whatever it was it does not tell the time – DAN was late for the assigned t-off time!
Iain Wise: His game plummeted to new depths of despair after Iain decided to relieve his bowels during the game. This act of going along nicely to absolute collapse was given the title of ‘SLUMP AFTER THE DUMP’ from the audience!!!!!!!!!!
……..and the ‘Slump after the Dump’ was a clear winner.
NB: MAY GAME will be in Phnom Penh on one of our annual away trips
