Having won the opening season event at Sandwell, DJ selects Whittington Heath for the closing summer season bash. A good choice, a fair test and he's even managed to arrange a bright Autumn Day.

Fat-Boy, DJ and Bones lead off. Cutie-Cutie, Tate and Turbo follow and Nance, Bainey and Mr. Grumpy ride drag.

The problem with Whittington is the premium placed on straight driving. Off the fairway one is prone to find thick wet grass, heather, trees, bushes, leaves, logs, twigs, assorted wildlife, even the odd ancient Briton but seldom any balls.

Mr. Grumpy's inability to find enough fairways is costing him dear, but not so Bones who delivers an exemplary display of straight driving to notch up 41 points and a clear individual morning victory. 

A feature of Whittington is the generous hospitality of it's members who, in order to show the Muffins around an unfamiliar layout, decide to slot in a four-ball of old farts between each Muffin three-ball on the 10th tee. Fortunately the Muffins still get back to the sanctuary of the clubhouse in time for a reasonably relaxed lunch.
