Sutton Green is Tony P's home course but Bunkers has only played the course four times. Macca certainly made his presence felt during the day (quite unlike him as, as has been said before, he is usually shy and retiring!) ..... going on and on and on..... about the trophy not being back from engravers and that he had added Peter G's engraving to it ..... and on and on and on ....., for being a miserable bast*** before play started (claimed it was because he was tired - Really?) and ..... for offering John W sex with his wife just before John was about to putt. Needless to say he probably had to take out a second mortgage to pay the fines.
With Macca setting the benchmark, fines came thick and fast during the tasty meal. Ian T, Dave S, Frazer W and Colin T for having a bit of practice 2 days before event (and Ian T and Dave S for playing sh** on the practice round).
Dave S yet again got a decent drive off the 1st tee which cost him a £ (it was well worth it, mumbled his playing partners).
Chris Hebdon (who should have known better) joined the water babies at the short par 3 13th. After putting 2 balls straight in the water he just walked off. Very unlike Chris, but it did give him a few extra moments to light up his 24th cigarette of the round. The 13th was a lucrative arena for fines as being the only hole Colin T's group played properly.
Darren A also came in for some welcome fine attention ..... for winning the first event of the golfing year, then missing the next 2 ....,for attempting duck murder and for mending his trolley with gaffer tape to make the wheels look like they had dreadlocks. I'm sure that was his intention!
Matt T had his monthly temper tantrum on the 16th green while Beardy and Frazer continued their pre match farting contest on the course. Apparently Frazer won, which is not surprising given the quality of the Full English he'd eaten in the club house just before the round.
Prev was singled out for smirking at others misdemeanors and Peter C got caught for just being honest and paying a fine even though nothing could be said about his round. Although only fined once (almost as an afterthought), there is a picture doing the rounds of Wags attempting a shot from a small bunker. One can only say that it is good that his right leg is longer than his left.
This time it was Ian T who was fined for his shirt being too loud. Is it a line or square dancing outfit?
Sad joke of the day ..... What's the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?
A bad golfer goes: WHACK ... Damn!
A bad Skydiver goes: Damn! ... WHACK.
And finally, it's good to see that Ray S's Hole -in-One example from Tylney Park rubbed off on Sergio at Sawgrass...way to go Ray! Just shows the global effect that Bunkers has!
