A better turn out for the first Sunday in September with only Nance absent in Spain. Fat-Boy contrives a non-controversial toss and Brett, Turbo and Tate set off from the 3rd tee whilst DJ, Fat-Boy, Cutie-Cutie and Mr. Grumpy head for the 1st.

The 4-ball have the potential to be the "Four Musketeers", but in reality turn out to be "Mr. Grumpy and the Three Stooges". DJ can't hit his hat, Cutie-Cutie embarks on episodes of verbal self-abuse that would have had Tate blushing and Fat-Boy's loss of weight has seemingly sapped his strength. Thus in fulfillment of a prediction made at the half-way hut, Mr. Grumpy wins the individual honours by a considerable margin yet once again loses the match, a couple of quid and gets cut by 1.5 for his trouble. We don't think Dr Frank Stableford had this sort of outcome in mind and maybe Mr. Grumpy, like Tate the previous week, would be richer playing like a prat.

On the plus side it's a bumper day on the fines front with £15.25 in the Walter courtesy of 4 OOBs, 3 Ducks and 25 Camels plus retrospective OWLS. 

"Shot of the Day" comes from Cutie-Cutie who sets himself up for a putt on the 4th green, nudges the ball into a roll with his forward press, exclaims loudly, then putts it again whilst still in motion - past the flag and off the green.

PS, the mystery butterfly on the 16th tee was a "Speckled Wood".
