Muffins back in action for the 17th August match, high summer it may be, but with standing water all over the course wellies, rather than soft spikes, were the order of the day. 

Only a 4-ball this week - Cutie-Cutie was routinely absent, Tate needed a long lie in before the epic Villa vs. Man. City encounter, Turbo was at yet another party.  Mr. Grumpy, seemingly for once, was true to his word, and this retirement seems to be permanent (or at least longer than previous retirements.  The boys are already divving up Mr. Grumpy's golf memorabilia, since he clearly has no further use for them.  For today's game, Brett had his eyes on Mr. Grumpy's duffed chip shot, though on today's performance, he has already taken possession.

Fat-Boy decides he wants to partner Brett for today's match - given Nance's woeful performance not 24 hours earlier, this was probably no surprise.  Nance, however, had his "game-head" on, so it was no suprise that he and DJ took the opening 9, convincingly - up by 6 shots at the sandwiches - with Nance on 21 points.

Astonishingly, Fat-Boy gets a shot up the 10th and he used it to good effect for a 4 nett 3.  However thoughts of a come-back were short-lived - Fat-Boy and Brett couldn't make in-roads into the front 9 deficit, and althuogh they take the back 9 as consolation, the match is long gone. 

Fat-Boy once again collapses on 18.  A duck hook into the deep rough was followed by 6 more shots.  Importantly, 2 of them were in greenside bunkers to take the camels from a grateful DJ.

Nance takes individual honours, adding a respectable 18 points on the back 9 to the 21 on the front, for a 39 point total.    Brett piled on the pressure on the way home, with 20 points, however his 16 on the front proved his undoing.
