The scores sizzled on the course with 60 players turning up and turning in their cards for their teams.

It was also noted that a good number of nominated players were also on the course yet did not put their card in, but there will be no hyphenated names mentioned will there Graham.

Eleven teams have nominated so far, each with eight members, however Ranga’s Crew ably led by Jack Quinn is still in need of two more players to complete their complement.

Another team, the “Executive Suite” led by our fearless leader Mark Douglas is probably not aware of his casual nomination at the cocktail party two weeks ago yet he and his good wife, daughter and son-in-law, along with dad, Fred, need to now get out and show their style as they have been teamed with Sue, June and Robyn to form quite a formidable team.

As was mentioned before, the scoring was hot with some of the usual summer burglars out in broad daylight, chopping up with the course with remarkable style.

This week there were two types of approaches in the high scoring teams; there was the consistent medium scoring regular golfers in the Debateables who amassed the weeks leading total in a shared and even handed manner; or there were the big lead out scorers with teams that just added their one or two points to the whale in the group like Squirrel Grippers, Beached Whales and the In & Out Thingies (my best compromise for the mirror vision name supplied).

The table is as follows after week 1:

Debateables 29.5

Squirrel Grippers 24

Beached Wales’ 23

In and Out Thingies 22

Ranfga’s Crew 20

Pink Panthers 15

TBA 14.5

Parkers Smash 13.5

Sturgiss Painters 10,5

Pagey’s Gut Punchers 7.5

Executive Suite 3

The spirit of the comp is about getting some golfers and non-golfers together for a weekend whack.

Handicapping is kind and the object is about working a sweat up before enjoying a laugh with your crew in the Club over a refreshing drink.
