Muffins B were out in force parading their trophy but sadly lacking their talismanic glory hunting plastic Manc. On Ryder Cup singles day it was appropriate that we were out as a fourball.

Mr.Grumpy was picking up the cashmere sweaters in Valhalla whilst Turbo was taking in some winter sunshine on the Algarve. Nance was babysitting Fat-Boy's kids and Fat-Boy was on the nest making another one.

A cuter fat tosser (see inset) paired DJ & Tate Vs Brett and Cutie-Cutie in the proverbial game of two halves in which DJ and Tate stormed into a four point lead at the sandwiches. Unfortunately Fat-Boy's favourite captain pushed in on the 4th tee while the Muffins were playing into the 3rd green. His fourball then proceeded to lose two holes resulting in a four and a half hour round and a missed kick off for the Villa boys. It could only have been worse if J B Holmes had been in their fourball!

On the back nine Cutie-Cutie started with two birdies in the first three holes to claw back the deficit, meanwhile Btett was having a bad day and you can imagine what the constant wittering was like. It peaked on the 11th green where he played from the left bunker into the camel on the 7th fairway and back again. A triple camel of the highest order.

The match was all square going down the last when Cutie-Cutie boobed and Brett camelled meaning a famous one point victory for DJ and Tate. The camels were picked up by Tate on the last green for a record 5th week in a row!

Tate and Cutie-Cutie shared the individual honours with 37 points leaving DJ(35) and Brett (32) in their wake.

In the clubhouse afterwards Fat-Boy's favourite captain tapped Tate on the knee and said "I hope that we didn't hold you up much boys". This was the last question a yam yam should be asking Tate after he had missed the Villa kick off!

Tate politely pointed out the etiquette of pushing in on the 4th and proceeding to hold the Muffins up in their quest to finish early. The last laugh was had by Tate as Villa scored twice during this polite discussion with our former captain. Fat-Boy would have been proud.
