Flood warnings around the country once again, though 4 hardy Muffins weren't put off by by a mere   2 inches of overnight rain.  Mr. Grumpy was put off by the prospect of a further 2 inches of rain which was going to fall on OGC throughout the morning and decided to stay in bed, comfortable in the knowledge that a big camel fine would be coming his way due to the late cry-off.

Tate and DJ were also absent, no doubt snuggling up together under the duvet in their hotel in Cornwall.  Brett, too, was absent, having failed to organise his family around his golfing commitments once more.  

Fat-Boy, Nance and Turbo were keen to face the elements.  Cutie-Cutie was less enthusiastic.  Keen to get the experience over with as quickly as possible, he appoints himself as top-tosser, and pairs himself with Nance.  Fat-Boy and Turbo looked up for the challenge.  Cutie-Cutie steps up to the mark on the first tee, and promptly despatches his tee shot OOB beyond the 18th fairway.  Victory for Fat-Boy and Turbo looks assured.  

By the 6th, it becomes obvious that no-one else has braved the weather.  Laurence takes pity on the lonely Muffins and sends out bacon sandwiches.  Welcome relief, although a little soggy, with the forecast 2 inches still teaming down.

By the tum, noone has any idea what the score is, least of which Fat-Boy who has given up trying to record the scores on his papier mache scorecard.  Cutie-Cutie reluctantly decides to carry on, despite threatening tor walk off as early as the 5th.  Mr. Grumpy and Brett would have been proud of him. 

Turbo is enjoying the conditions and returns one of his best performances for years.  A gross birdie on 13, for a nett ace, was his crowning glory, though it wasn't his only 4 pointer, a gross par on 9 started the ball rolling.  Just as well, from a team perspective, since Fat-Boy, was spending the morning practising his shanking (with a 'sh').

Back in the club house, scores were recalled and recorded.  Turbos solo performance was enough to take the team honours, and his partner was mighty relieved.  Nance and Cutie-Cutie can't understand how their individual scores didn't win the day.  Nance's individual 28 was enough to take the full 10 points, itself indicative of the difficult conditions.  Cutie-Cutie's 24 for 6 points will probably be enough to confirm him as the Summer 2008 champion, with only 3 weeks to go.
