It's May 22nd and the middle of the Summer 2011 season, but memories of North-Berwick in 2007 come flooding  back -  we have gale-force winds at OGC; Mr. Grumpy has started another retirement, having concluded his swing has deserted him; and Tate is spraying balls over every out-of-bounds fence.  Happy days.

A cosy 4-ball for the latest encounter, and on todays performance, more retirements may be imminent, so a 4-ball is maybe the best we can hope for in the future.

Having assumed the role of deputy tosser, Nance decides to play with DJ for the day, leaving Turbo to rue his impending partnership with Tate.  

It seems that Nance and Turbo are the only ones to have brought any semblence of a golf-game with them for the day, and at the turn, the spoils were halved.  

A welcome sandwich didn't seem to help Tate, who sends his tee shot from the 10th tee over the top of Geoff Wards roof.   It was clear that Tate and DJ had their minds firmly on the Villa match later in the day, and the anticipation of a Blues relegation was affecting their concentration.   Turbo seemed to be able to multi-task and was unaffected by such distractions.

And so, almost as an aside, Nance takes the individual honours, with Turbo a close second.  The rest were nowhere.  Nance and DJ take the match.   DJ caps it all by taking a healthy 25 camels.

The Blues look forward to Championship football.  Wolves look forward to Championship football in 2013.  The Quakers look forward to Championship football, sometime beyond 2061.
