CAPTAINS DAY 2022
WOODLAKE PARK
The day arrived, we had been looking forward to returning to Woodlake Park for some time and what happens? The weather was very un-Welsh, with hot Sun everywhere! Sun cream was at a premium, caps, and hats essential, as were fluids, however ice was difficult to come by, but undaunted we entered the fray.
“Wear your captains’ shirt” was Pete’s request and everyone obliged, except for the rebel JV, who wore a shirt made from an old duster instead. Lucky for him there were no fines.
Having already dispensed with his back massager, Killer set off in his normal quiet fashion, which is more than can be said for Matt S, who let out a shout of pain as he hit his first drive. Much sympathy ensued.
Killer was heard complaining about someone shouted/celebrating a good shot a few holes ahead, which disturbed his concentration. However, that did not stop him bellowing like a rutting stag, when he chipped in for birdie, with the group on the adjacent 4th tee about to tee off!
In contrast, the report writer (Vic) chipped in from 120 yards on S1, raised his fist in triumph but made not a sound, probably due to shock!
Alan T was in top shanking mode (for a change), but he recovered well, and his bag and clubs survive to be abused another day. Brazier was having his normal type of round; rueing having spent several hundred pounds on a new driver.
PJ was having a NOT SO good time and was all for giving up due to erratic putting but carried on and ended up with a credible 76. Tony Owo had a traumatic round and ended up in Room 101, but as usual kept smiling and will come back fighting next time.
On the par-3 4th Marsh Jnr, launched his tee shot so far right it was heading back to England which we later found up the 5th fairway!
JRGW had an exchange of pleasantries with some members when he passed the time of day and they complained about the pace of play. He offered to let them through but explained there were another 7 groups in front, which did nothing to improve Anglo-Welsh relations!
After all the nonsense Cuth lost his virginity and shot a 73 to take his first ever PGS trophy and never spoke about it all the way back to Malvern!
Team prize was won by Gaz, Bish, Vic and Chris R.
Captain Pete had organised a raffle and Rick wore a groove in the terrace, going up for so many prizes, one of which was a bottle of wine from “Caves du McD” which had the cork half out, which McD said was because it had been left in the car all round and not because he’d re-corked it!
Well done Doddy for organising a great day.
