Well what can be said about the weather! It was due to be a wet day and boy o boy - I think even the fish took shelter!
There was the normal fairweather experts, so when we finally tee'd off we were down to just 12, although at the end it was just 11 after Sarah's waterproofs turned out to be far from waterproof and she had to abandon ship at half time!
Those who did brave it out, or were they just stupid, still managed to rack up the miles on the fineometer:
- John T: - Fair weather golfer cried off just because it was spitting a little bit 🤧
- After the captain gave out a festive hat for all : Mike J, Martin & Ian D all proceeded to try them on in the club house after a comment from the fines captain “are you sure that will fit you” 🎅
- Frazer for dobbing in the fines captain, warning people not to listen to him and not to put the hat on 🙁
- Ian T, came dressed like a liberal democrat canvasser
- John F, for talking about Leeds FC and how he had a feeling in his water, it was suggested that he had Cystitis.
- John F, moaning about how he has a poorly Knee
- Ian D & john F, came to the golf club and then said I am not going out in that weather (Ian D left £10 for his fines)
- James, stating that he had lost his hat and then promptly found it in the pocket that he placed it.
- John F, using his phone in the club house.
- Dave S, making a Christmas wish that materialised (you know what it is Dave)
- Paul H, on the first fairway stating after looking though his range finder that it was about 200yds to the green when he was stood on the 200yd marker in the fairway.
- Dave S, for not knowing what day it was
- Frazer, his shot on the 18th was heading for the lake when it hit the warning water sign and bounced back, then Barnes Wallace'd his next shot over the lake
Well done to Martin, who took a lot less time than many to win his first event after only joining us a few months ago, seen below accepting the stand-in trophy (the real one was delayed in the christmas post) from Captain Shorter, who seems to be suffering a little bit from tinsellitis in the photo!
