The Day

Compliments to the photographer today for the best shots of the season so far. We have a fine collection here, starting with buddies Michael and James together, then joined by Mark and Juju. There will be a prize next week for anyone who can accurately predict what Mark was saying to the photographer (those in the photo not eligible).

There was a delayed start due to a morning tournament, so we teed off just after 12. Just before halfway, the rain came and the lightning scared off half the field, who headed for the safety and comfort of the clubhouse and elsewhere. This brave caddie stayed, and Geoff, Diarmuid and Richard were content to share some stories and coldies in the rest hut. Diarmuid had his best Tee Set round to date on a tough course with a net 73, rewarded for perserverance!!!

And now for the glamour shots…..let’s start with Ric finishing his round as the sun set, brilliant shot. Sami in full action, obviously earlier in the day, in front of the pines. To finish, we have the view from the clubhouse after match…only Imperial comes close!

Welcome for the first time to Eduardo, welcome back to our regulars below – sorry we love you but you don’t get a special mention after such short breaks, except Bob of course, who is one of our most generous sponsors!!! Always welcome back Bob!!!! Oh ok, and Rav, Ruth and Mike…..great to see you all back too.

It was the last weekend before the fasting month of Ramadan, and there was an accident on the toll, so the trip home was almost 3 hours, but that happens sometimes….we’ll be back to Rainbow.

The Play

The round of the day was a net 67 by Bill, a fine recovery from some recent scratchiness (pictured here as the evil pixie). Mike was back shooting darts again with a 69 and James and Richard led in the A graders, with Richard shooting the lowest gross score with 78. Ruth had first birdie, but escaped a photo, and Michael, who was everywhere this week, had first sandy, but he also had a skirt and that photo is far more interesting. Jude was awarded Low Putts, because we could not bear another photo of Michael, and Jude received the shiniest of all 100k notes – check it carefully!! Full player by player scores here.

And now for our favourite skirt photo – our surviving recognition of the battler …there were actually two players who qualified for skirts, but there was only one for the photo, and it was, yes, you guessed it…Michael…magnificent!
