Michael Fish couldn't have got the weather forecast more wrong as we got a biting strong wind instead of the promised warm sunny day.
Trevor Wilson was up for it however with 38 points, six ahead of Brian Taylor whilst the remainder of the 23 starters excelled at the mediocre.

My New Golf Book
You may not know it, but I have been very busy over the last couple of years putting my thoughts and ideas together into a book. I am very proud of the results and, in order to market the publication, I am asking friends and family to assist.

Chapter 3 - How to Avoid the Water When You Lie 8 in a Bunker
Chapter 4 - How to Get More Distance off the Shank
Chapter 5 - When to Give the Ranger the Finger
Chapter 6 - Using Your Shadow on the Greens to Maximize Earnings
Chapter 7 - When to Implement Handicap Management
Chapter 8 - Proper Excuses for Drinking Beer Before 9:00 a.m.

Not the weather to be standing about in but all the twenty one who started made it to the finishing post.
In spite of the strong (and cold) wind Tom Neilly's creditable 39 points took first prize, one ahead of fellow countryman Joe Campbell in second place.

Only the second week in February and today the twenty eight of us that turned out had warm sunshine and virtually no breeze.
For the second time this week the last fourball provided both winner and runner up, Eddie Varah on 38 and Jeff Smith one behind on 37.

Tuesday 8th February
Conditions didn't seem too difficult today for the field of twenty nine but my 34 points was enough to take first prize with playing partner Grant Anderson's 33 coming second on a back 6 countback.
I'm reliably informed that a certain Sandpiper was given a lift home last week and insisted on putting on his jacket before getting out in the pouring rain. This caused him great difficulty trying to exit the car, and his driver, who was sworn to secrecy, was laughing so much that it took a little while for him to point out that his seat belt was still fastened.
No prizes for guessing the culprit!

Thursday 3rd February
It must have been difficult today as David Low's 31 points beat the other seventeen scores. Recently returned David Barnes came second with thirty points.
Irene is back home now so things should get back to normal soon.
She is very complimentary about the treatment she received at the Freeman.

Tuesday 1st February
Trevor Wilson has penned the results of today’s bash, in mainly sunny but breezy conditions and reasonable temperatures for February, Robin Binny was 1st with 36 pts and John Tudor 2nd with 35 pts, 28 played.
Thank you everyone who has been in touch with concerns about Irene's health.
I found out tonight that the doctors hope to resolve any problems over the next couple of days and when I visited this afternoon she was in good spirits.
