No Tate AGAIN! Apparently he's flown in from RSA this very morning but has failed to arrive at OGC on time so 7 1/2 Muffins assemble which is contary to the 6 predicted by Brett. Cutie-Cutie has spent Saturday dicking about with his SIM card so hasn't responded to Brett, but he has responded to DJ - who in turn hasn't forwarded the message to Brett. 

All concerned are very lucky to escape financial censure.

The half Muffin is Elliot Nance who is caddying for his Dad and distinguishes himself firstly by finding Mr. Genial's ball in the rough up the 1st fairway and then back-chatting to his employer all the way round in the manner originally established by Fat-Boy.

The ball-toss is not without controversy. For the first time ever Fat-Boy manages to achieve a clear and unequivocal 3 ball - 4 ball split and then ruins it by outrageously kicking one ball from one group to the other! It's a total farce but when the furore dies down, he sets off in the company of Cutie-Cutie and DJ.

At half-way, it's a narrow lead for the 4-ball which is stretched to a 3 point victory overall and £4 thank you very much (Elliot Nance - 10% = 40p). DJ's disappointment is tempered by a personal 37 points and an individual win just 2 points in front of Mr. Genial who hoicks himself out of the previous month's mediocrity. However, an OOB, a Duck and 6 Camels do little to reduce his lead at the head of the fines table. Emmigration is likely to be his only saviour. 

Mind you............Tate's back next week.........
