\"Pepsi<\/a>
Why wouldn’t you be smiling?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, if a week is a long time in politics, it can also be a long time in golf as well.\u00a0 Some of the high fliers from last week didn’t fly quite so high this week and some of the also-rans from last week put in sterling performances to come close to challenging (for points if not for the trophy).<\/p>\n

Pepsi wasn’t exactly languishing after the first round but he certainly came back with a vengeance today with a 69 off the beater that included an 8 can you believe.\u00a0 However, offsetting that was an impressive total of 7 birdies out of a total of 17 for the day.\u00a0 In the end, Pepsi and Ed ended up equal on the nett scores so a countback was need to determine the winner of the Vin O’Meara Cup and on the back nine it turned out to be Pepsi by a mere half a stroke.\u00a0 Still, that was all that was needed and Pepsi was certainly very appreciative of getting his name on this prestigious trophy.\u00a0 It also got him off to a flying start in the Championship race for this year.<\/p>\n

Edgar will have to console himself for what might have been.\u00a0 It was a bit of daylight to second place that was filled by young Zimmer who slipped just a couple of strokes to card a total of 138.\u00a0 Bill the Beastoe and Mosy had to settle for third place just a stroke behind Zim.\u00a0 Mostyn claims he was so intent on trying to counter Rodger that he lost the plot about the same time that Rodger did.<\/p>\n

The President and the Chief Tee Marshall (Gordon and Chrispy in case you didn’t know) also had their chances to come in higher up the list but didn’t quite cut the mustard.\u00a0 David followed up on his country form to fill the final spot for the first points of the year.<\/p>\n

Mehm would have been happy with his purchase and so would Pepsi both in the main Calcutta and the self purchase event.\u00a0 Zimmer might have broken even (if you ignore all the other purchases he made).<\/p>\n

The ProPin on the 18th didn’t get a taker and so will Jackpot to next week.\u00a0 SOS managed to get close enough on the 12th to win himself a ball\u00a0 in the Nearest the Pin.\u00a0 First blood in the Seniors went to Eddie, Bill and Gordon.<\/p>\n

This was also the final round of the Club Stroke Play Championship.\u00a0 After the three rounds, the clear winner was Pepsi (again) with a nett total of 201.\u00a0 Another bit of daylight to second place with Zimmer on 205.\u00a0 Yet another swatch of daylight to Oliver and Bill on 210.\u00a0 The full details are listed on the appropriate link.<\/p>\n

SOS reckoned that if he hadn’t had a couple of sevens he’d have had a couple of sixes.\u00a0 I guess O’Sullivan is probably an Irish name.\u00a0 Craig birdied the first and as is often the case for at least some of us, this did not augur well for what was to follow.\u00a0 Mehm’s barber seems to have had some sort of a lapse in concentration leaving some sort of top-knot on top and Mehm was sporting a dressing covering a lesion.\u00a0 Rumour has it that it was some sort of surgical procedure – nothing serious we hope Mehm!<\/p>\n

This one is a bit hard to believe but our resident certified rules adjudicator was reported to have taken advice to misinterpret the rules relating to relief from a lateral water hazard.\u00a0 And this after it had been so carefully explained on these pages in the recent past.<\/p>\n

Oliver seems to have gotten over the yips that he displayed last week.\u00a0 People were beginning to wonder whether he really had been nobbled.<\/p>\n

Next week will see the last official day for this calendar year when the various trophy Event winners from the past Competition Year will battle it out for the Stuart Clarke Champion of Champions.\u00a0 The rest of us will battle it out for a hunger for the Christmas Lunch that has been arranged.\u00a0 There will also be the Trophy presentations and the AGM so, all in all, a full day.\u00a0 No excuses will be accepted for sneaking off early, not even twenty-first birthdays (unless it is your own).<\/p>\n
