Cloudy and fair, the fairways are now browning with the lack of rain. This obviously attracted the Hardwill zebra who had escaped from Longleat, seen browsing on many of the fairways, nourished to a credible 4th place. This event has come to be known as the Golden Wonder, as Roy Miller came home with 43 points and the biggest cut of the season, -8! The bulk buy of crisps that he had ordered before play began had to be cancelled. Bru Chadwick was seen belting multiple balls into the rough at the 14th, with Mr Wide and friends doubled up with laughter on the benches. (This was thought to be reasonable Crispy behaviour but the Editor would like to say that, as a sensitive soul, it can be profoundly offputting). Talking of the Golden Wonder club, it is noted that both Steve Cording and Paul Godwin are now handily placed with +4 shots with poor Roy now reduced to a huge negative figure. Even the resident pro, Mike S, has accumulated +2. A late surge to the top of the leader board is predicted for at least one of them! The selfless sacrifice of paying up by Stuart Sully is to be noted, as he retired part way through his round having optimistically hoped that his young daughter would appreciate his stunning play over 18 holes. As someone who knows, the editor can only comment that was never going to happen.
