Particular note should be made of the following:

• Lovers whose preparation for the weekend included borrowing a set clubs, pair of shoes and a jacket – but still managed to turn up without a putter,
• Rupert who described himself as a beaver – reassuring everybody that was as a result of him spending too much time in the trees,
• Ant coaching his partner Dan – “I’ll give you an hour of my time, but if you mess up after that…”,
• Joe’s drive off the 1st on the second day and hitting the marker pin,
• the examiner who gave Ben Cuttle his Grade 5 trombone - he must have been technically deaf,
• Rob (Mr Callaway) with “all the gear and no idea”,
• Mike “The Bandit” Brotherton who plays the nice guy, but is shy with his gimme’s,
• Pete who has received a letter from the Club Captain’s car insurance company seeking funds to repair the damage he caused off the 10th (not just once, but twice),
• John Southall whose swing is described as “over-wristy” by Pete,
• Floody’s air shot medley in the trees on the 18th,
• Mikey who seemed to enjoy driving the buggy more than playing golf,
• Nick Moxon who ensured Woolfy got no sleep as a result of his snoring,
• Woolfy (who was tired) and was repeatedly heard as saying “I have never been round a golf course in under 120 shots”,
• Al Muir purchasing a new putter the day after he returns from Belmont as he realizes he putts like Julian Clary,
• Dan Potter who with very little prior experience showed everyone that Golf is not that hard after all,
• and Mark Goodall (left) who deservedly won the Tonsley Jacket after a solid display of golf.

A cracking weekend, and quite possibly the first of many similar outings to follow.
