A poor turn-out for the 1st match of the Winter 2010/2011 season sees Mr. Grumpy and Nance take on Turbo and DJ. Bright, sunny but with a nip in the air the principal hazard is the several tonnes of fallen leaves that make finding anything off the straight and narrow a bit of a lottery. As it happens the only lost balls are shots from Nance and DJ sail into the woods left of the 11th and 14th.

For the second week in a row Mr. Grumpy looks at the ball - a worrying trend - and compiles a useful 34 points which, with occasional contributions from Nance, is sufficient for a £4 win and ten individual points. His joy is tempered by the accumulation of ten camels and an early lead in the new fines table.

The clubhouse discussion centres on the plan to add new bunkers to the front of the 4th green. Given that the majority of OGC bunkers are already shite, one wonders why any additional ones can be the product of rational thinking.
