Results for Fred Howe Cup – Round 1 – 21 July 2012

Well you would have to wonder whether spring has arrived early if the weather today was any guide.  Or is it just trying to lull us into a false sense of well being.  One group of players had obviously not rubbed the sleep out of their eyes when they walked into the club-house past the big sign about preferred lies.  At least they found out about the relief before they completed the round.

Speaking about completing the round, one person who did so in style was the ever reliable Noodles, who carded a 74 for 41 points.  That’s going to hurt the handicap a bit regardless.  Not quite a length behind was the affable Yank, Mo Sabih, with a very creditable 37 points.  He was followed closely by a pack of hounds, too numerous to mention on 36 points.  Obviously trying not to lose any handicap unless they win.  Looks like a very exciting day next week to see who will take home the bacon – the players or the stayers.

In other news from today, Craig is going to buy himself a Texta and write “Remember the grip” on his glove.  It seems he didn’t remember today until the 16th – at least that’s his excuse for his score.  I reckon it’s the nut on the end of the shaft.  Also a big welcome back to Allan Davies.  Although, unfortunately, his holiday of a lifetime was cut short by a run-in with a bus on a narrow outback road.  No fault of Allan’s and fortunately no casualties (other than the car and van).  Also a welcome to Dennis Tiernan, who has decided to throw in his lot with us, despite having to play with Rodger and Laurie.  He has promised to turn up earlier next week.

Slightly older news told to me by a little birdie (not the one under par kind) is that Jan Siemon scored an ace on the 12th a few weeks back.  Modest type that he is, he chose not to publish the fact though I do believe that there were some after round celebrations.  Probably not many eggs in the eagles nest though.

Next week will be Round 2 of the Fred Howe Cup and it will be interesting to see how the event pans out.  Even if you didn’t play today, why not come along and share in the excitement.  Besides, there is bar-b-que on afterwards so you could share in some sausages, hamburger and onions (provided that the cooks remember to put them on).
