Doubles @ Bromsgrove
26 players arrive at Bromsgrove Golf Club in glorious sunshine. Interesting that all were early for Captain’s Brief to ensure they got on the outside of the infamous bumper ‘full english’. With the majority of weird eaters still in South America, it was left to Matt to hold up the Vegan end of the ship!
The Capt’s Brief passed by smoothly with the majority of the cohort arriving in the predetermined knee length socks. Health and Safety advice was restricted to ensuring the ‘gingers’ had sun cream applied, on what was another beautiful sunny day. I had pulled Mike Jones out in the sweep and was tempted just to hand my card straight back in, following his escapades in Turkey. It was interesting to see everyone relaxed when the draw was done, not caring if they were in the last group. All knowing who ever they were drawn with, they would still have a good laugh and stress free round!!!.
First tee and the usual jolly japes and banter started, but was soon quelled as the first group air mailed all their drives down the fairway, followed with a similar display from group two. Thankfully Simon ‘Trembler’ re-ignited the banter with his opening tee shot diving straight left off the hozel onto the practice putting green. Having retrieved his ball, plays three off the tee – not realizing the putting green was not OB and should have played his 2nd shot from there. Not to be out done, Tony Soper steps up and slices (some may say shanked) his ball onto the 10th fairway. As you would anticipate, this was met with the usual supportive comments you have come to expect from PGS members – as I continue to say, not the society for those with mental health vulnerabilities!!!
My group of Killer, Aye and Deckchair were off second to last. A shite snap hook left from me saw me playing my second out of the trees, my ‘go to’ position it appears at Bromsgrove.
The course, whilst already showing signs of being scorched on the fairways, remains an interesting course and perfect for the society. We are always made to feel welcome there and all the holes require a bit of planning and plotting to get yourself round safely. A limited commentary from the groups regarding moments of hilarity through everyone’s round. Worthy of mention though was the 346yd drive from Gaz on the 8th, hitting the green in one on the par 4 (I reckon he must have hit a sprinkler head lol!). Don’t panic though, once he got his putter out he only managed to scrape off with a par, with a £1 boost to the charity for the three putt!!! Also worthy of mention, and I do not recall it being done before in my tenure with PGS, Tony Poyner swept up nearest the pin and nearest the pin in two. Well played Mr P!
It was great to see ‘the kids’ at the event. Spud, not taking his driving ban onto the course, managed a great knock of 38 s’ford points!
With more raffle tickets bought and the fines being collected, as per normal, Terry’s charity fund was suitably boosted.
