Sutton Green welcomed us on a lovely sunny day, and a well done for Ian for getting it right this time, although the reporter was not welcomed when entering the member's only locker room. (Thanks Ian)
After the customary greeting in the club house we all proceeded to the first tee. We marvelled at the entertainment, Frazer's juggling, and the fashion parade of hats, sported by Dave F. The crowd was soon dispersed by the vice-captain's emissions, for which he was fined. This confirms our suspicions that he's a bag of wind, to add to his Tourette's.
The excitement for teeing off on the first got to a few players, John T and Tony P, teeing off out of order, their names were soon entered in to the captains little black book, which in fact is red?
Colin T gave a master class in putting and Dave F manged a 160 foot put with a driver.
After the round, which some found to be slow (although it was almost spot on to minute that the card suggested the round should take) we headed to the showers, well most of us. Here the captain got a bit confused and thought he was launching a ship and smashed a bottle in there to celebrate.
The meal looked very nice, although I cannot comment as I opted for a Salad which cost me a £1. The vice-captain was not to impressed with the vegetables that were on offer and only selected carrots stating that he was not going to eat anything that resembled a tree (broccoli), however, he did manage to wolf down two fruit crumble and custard deserts in record time.
A lot of the members were unaware that we had a budding actor within the society Mark T, although it was said that in one play he was dressed as a character similar to the silver surfer which created a few gasps from the audience as it did not leave a lot to the imagination by all accounts.
