NAGA Golf

Well another game has come and gone with everyone improving their individual scores from months past bar me!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a good day out at Gailes and we look forward to the next event at Cleveland booking permitting, from what I have read about the course the whale (for a ball in the water ladies) will no doubt be breaching more regularly than at Gailes though I don’t think as often as it did at Riverlakes in January. You can relax about the water VB (Andrew), with a lifeguard such as the Hof (Thommo) around water really isn’t an issue. After all the support Brisbane’s driving ranges received in the build up to Gailes, hang your heads in shame Clayton and Thommo, it is no surprise that the handicapper has had to come down hard on most of Sundays participants, once again I have not moved after another boring 91. The biggest mover of the week has been VB who has had 4 shots slashed off his handicap from 46 to 42; all this with a bent putter, second to be kneecapped was the Hof from 34 to 31 followed by Clayton having 2 shots smothered off of his from 37 to 35. Yours truly remains at 15 (for all calculations see the attached spreadsheet).

A most concerning thing happened at Gailes which hopefully can be avoided in the future, a game was golf was completed without penalty drinks consumed afterwards. It was a shameful day, we certainly should have toasted the way VB went out of his way to claim the whale he rightfully saw as his almost maiming a few pensioners, 2 holes away but standing near a puddle, out for a Sunday stroll or the way Clayton fought to get rid of the serpent on the 18th even trying in desperation to accuse Mac, The Hof and VB all of 3 putting, last confirmed sighting Clay was under a tree trying to pass the snake onto a wallaby. It is these gestures that need to be rewarded with the nectar of the cactus and the choice drink of the 3 Amigo’s. I leave it there for now.

Gailes quote of the day from VB “You know why they called it golf…because fuck was taken”

Last but not least I leave it to the Hof to contact Cleveland to check availability for the 2nd of March, with everyone’s availability having been confirmed on Sunday. If anyone had any ideas regarding format of the game or if you were happy with the way it was played on Sunday, please let me know.

Yours in Golf
