Wednesday April 26th 2023 Bunkers revisited Royal Ascot Golf Club. The weather was fairly cool but conditions were good for golf. The golf fairways and greens were in good condition. The refurbished clubhouse bar was very comfortable. One disappointment of the day was the miserly small portion of Steak & Ale Pie served with mash potato and cabbage, salvaged by a very decent apple crumble and custard.
Sixteen players participated and as usual fines were charged by Captain Dave S after dinner. Steve received numerous £1 fines the worst of which was for polishing his golf ball repeatedly on his private parts. Frazer was fined and yellow carded for club abuse. John F was fined for nearly attempting a tee shot on the 17th hole with a putter. Prev was fined for playing two shots on the 14th hole and still being one foot behind the tee markers. Captain fined himself for hitting several trees, bunkers and even himself. Luke was fined for playing a practice round at Queenwood Golf club the previous day.
Third place was taken by the ever popular Steve with 38 points ( talks a good game - non stop ! ). Second place was Tony on 39 points hopeful for a Bunkers win after several barren years but he was pipped to the post by John F with a super 40 points - well done John ! Don't forget to get the trophy engraved John.
Congratulations to all the prize winners, with John F receiving the winners trophy from Captain Shorter.
