Yes You Can!

I have had a quick look at what we are each capable of. If you construct a dream round of the best score on each hole at Tiverton, then we can score as follows:

Charlie 67
David 84
Harry 60
Kevin 61
Malcolm 63
Mike 67
Richard M 71
Richard T 59

But our nightmare round produces this (you might want to look away now)

Charlie 136
David 145
Harry 144
Kevin 148
Malcolm 133
Mike 154
Richard M 114
Richard T 141

Next Masters Date: Confirmed

As a result of just 3 or 4 people being available at the end of June, the Masters has been moved to the following week.

It will now take place on Friday, 2nd July.

Please remember to bring all trophies currently in play.

Five Club Challenge

Four of us stepped out for a round of golf yesterday morning. The deal was no woods, and only five clubs in the bag. After a quick count, Harry and Mike returned to their respective cars to put a club back muttering about putters not really counting.

So, what was the outcome of this big experiment? Predictably, we found ourselves in fewer trees - a shorter drive meant less chance of diverting widely. However, what was a surprise was that Charlie and Mike found they can drive as far with a three iron as they can with a driver. Kevin rediscovered his slice off the tee. Harry, unsportingly, used his Japanese ladies 3 iron club to great effect, Kevin drove short with a 4 iron.

Overall, scores were competitive: Harry 87, Charlie 91, Kevin 93 and Mike 101 (17 shots over 2 holes did not help). Were there lesson to be learnt - plenty; will they be learnt - probably not. Next Friday we will liklely all be back with our drivers. C'est la vie.

Next special event - mashies and niblicks, anyone?
