A full house for the first proper day of summer - 24th August.  A full house, these days, means 7 due to, what seems to be, the permanent retirement of Mr. Grumpy.  A bit of a rush start, the summer weather has tempted most of OGC out onto the course, and Brett's unspecific instructions of a 8:15am-ish start resulted in Cutie-Cutie turning up at 8:15-ish, on the dot.

Top-tosser decrees that he wants to play with Nance, DJ and Tate this week, and so Brett, Turbo and Cutie-Cutie were first off the blocks.

Turbo, in particular showed form on the front 9.  Dangerous off his 30 handicap, a gross par on 3 was quickly followed by another on 5, the latter being a nett ace for 4 points.  A fine outward 9 netted him 16 points.  His playing partners also stepped up the mark, with 18 and 20 points the team took the front 9 by a clear 3 points. 

Tate is clearly a little rusty.  Following a perfect drive down the middle on 10, he part-shanks his 2nd past Nance's head over the 9th tee.  Fat-Boy commits routine Boob protection and puts his 2nd into a similar spot.  Tate, clearly disappointed that his shank had missed one of playing partners, makes up for it with his 3rd.  Another shank, this time a much purer strike, cuts Fat-Boy down at his kidneys.  Apparently it hit his ribs, rather than a layer of fat, otherwise Tate may have needed relief for a plugged lie.

Tate and his team, however put this event behind them very quickly and the back 9 saw some excellent scoring.  Excellent enough to make up the deficit from the front 9, and then some.  Tate, Nance, DJ and Fat-Boy taking the back 9 and the match pretty comfortably.  Brett and Cutie-Cutie shared the individual spoils with 36 points each, though there wasn't much in it, with only 3 points separating first from last.

Brett and Tate pick up the all-important camels with 7 and 13 respectively.  Fat-Boy adds a boob to his tally.
