The previous day's wet weather has cleared away and a sunny morning is in prospect but, ever cautious, Brett still turns up in a fleece which conceals several other layers.

Nance and the Fat-Boy are engaged in the summer 4-ball but, nervous that his authority may be usurped, Fat-Boy turns up early to do the tossing anyway. He sends out Turbo, Tate and Brett to be followed by Mr. Grumpy, DJ and Cutie-Cutie.

DJ and Cutie-Cutie's opening tee shots finish in the first fairway bunker for two early camels and Mr. Grumpy suggests that after their second shots, the total should still be two. This is ignored. DJ hits the bank and has to dance a few steps to avoid being hit on the conk. The total is now three. Cutie-Cutie plays next and also hits the bank, but the ball comes to rest just a matter of inches on the grass. Not an encouraging opening.

However things improve and as Lawrence and Helen's hospitality is enjoyed, the second three-some bask in a 7 point lead. Brett is doing his best but it's not a good day at the office for Turbo and Tate and the 7 point deficit doubles to 14 by the end of the match.

Cutie-Cutie makes the most of Fat-Boy's permission to play to take the individual honours with a useful 39 points, followed by DJ and Brett on 37. The blot on Cutie-Cutie's landscape is 9 camels, only marginally outdone by Turbo who also adds a couple of ducks. 

Cutie-Cutie considers himself unlucky as Mr. Grumpy's 9 down the 18th (from a drive in the middle of the fairway) includes most of the the fineable elements except sand.

In the summer 4-ball Nance and Fat-Boy see-off a couple of no-hopers 3 and 1.

Finally there will be those among you who, at the mention of Green and Black will immediately think of organic, somewhat poncy, dark chocolate. No more.
