The weather was sunny and hot. The course was hard but the greens were very good although a touch slow for some. There was some erratic buggy driving, perhaps described as the pits. Club throwing has reached new heights with one crispy managing to throw his club into a tree and then try to use another club to retrieve the first; it is not known if his entire set is still up there. The winner this week was Ken Reid with 42 points (so he hadn't put a handicap card in since it results in melt down), followed by Phil Newnes, Stuart Ling, Paddy Farrell and Richard Bond. The intense competition to invest in crispy shots continues with marshmallow, busty, timorous newtes, oxslip (this is becoming beyond comment), the pits, thoroughly bad and bardeboy. It is sad to have to comment that the Crispy is very much a friendly society where the etiquette of golf is expected to be followed by all those who wish to participate - competition is important but not the be all and end all - and ribbing others should be amusing and not malicious. Those who do not feel that they agree with those principles can find plenty of competitions elsewhere in the club. Also the standard of the cards is such that mistakes in the scoring are easy to make; please clearly write your name, handicap etc plus score and ring 2s. It takes long enough to sort out the admin without fighting through scribbles and indecipherable scrawls. Sorry to go on, but please help. We would also like to thank those who feel tons of copper is amusing. The bar staff will help by taking it in and giving you pound coins. |
