Today on a bright summers day, Bunkers returned to The Drift Golf Club. Surprisingly only 10 members registered to play – still those who stayed away missed out on a glorious day to play golf. The course was in good condition and even though we were few numbers the Drift made us really welcome.
So, to the game…. A quote comes to mind
‘After the Lords Mayor Show – Comes the dustcart!’
Well this rung true for our current OOM leader Chris Turvill, he won at the last event – Mid Hants – but today managed to pick up the strongest man award with a score of 26 with the winner only getting 34. This must be one of the highest strongest man’s score we have had (certainly the highest in the last two years) Last year 26 would bring you in 15th out of 19 with the strongest man on 19. Only 8 points separating the 10 players.
Some of the Highlights:
- It was like playing Millionaires golf on occasion
- Frazer fined for Club and Bag abuse
- Everybody gets order of merit points
- Prev got fined for Overswinging on the 18th
- No one got on the green for NP2 and NP3
There were plenty of fines issued by our skipper but unfortunately I did not record many – whoops!
Still, our next event is Captains Day and your appointed 'Roving Reporter' Mr John Thorp will return and put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard.
