Turbo is in Torquay having a late birthday present from his wife, Cutie-Cutie is looking after his children and Fat-Boy is being favourite uncle to his god children; excuses that seem as watertight as a mermaid's sphincter, thus only 5 Muffins are available for the 3rd February fixture. 

It's a cold blustery morning and DJ is particularly smug about the previous afternoon's rugby, so the prospect of a 1-ball and a 4-ball is especially attractive. However, the course is quiet, so a 5-ball from the 6th tee presents no controversy. Tate throws up (the balls) and selects himself and Brett to take on Nance, DJ and Mr. Grumpy. 

There's fun and games early, as after a great drive down the 7th Tate dunks it in the stream. Foolishly he listens to the Nance who suggests that a de-duck is an option. It isn't and in fact results in a re-duck and wet legs. 

It's even-stephen's after 9 holes whereupon the 2 ball cruise to a back nine margin of 4 points and the match. 

The 13th sees 4 balls surrounding the flag and Tate in the bunker. Brett holes for a 2. As does Mr. Grumpy, followed by Nance and then remarkably DJ. Tate gets down in 4. 

The 15th sees 4 balls surrounding the flag and Tate in the bunker. Disappointingly, although Tate fulfils his part of the contract with another 4, only Nance gets the 2. 

Individual honours go to Brett with a very useful 41 points and only one display of petulance resulting from a 3 stab on the 11th. Nance takes 2nd spot with 37 points but 5 camels. In the 2 ball 4 camels go to guess who. 

Early intelligence suggests that a full-house of all 8 Muffins may be "on" for Sunday 10th. Watch this space.
