The Backyard Golf Society
The Backyard Golf Society lads had a solid hit-out at Emerald on Friday, Dec. 13. With a few players absent through self-inflicted next morning blues (Foos yer Doos) or car maintenance issues (Michelle Chatt) we only had the 2 groups out.
The winner on the day on count-back was Andy “The Deadliest Catch” Crabb, pipping ‘Diet WhiskeyMan’ 16 to 15 on the back nine.
Skins went to ‘Diet Whiskey’ with 5, 4 each to Don ‘the Divorcer’ (another self-inflicted casualty but he did manage to sober up enough on the back nine after looking like a prime candidate for an early shower on the front 9) and ‘Golden Trowel’s Boyfriend’, 3 to Irish John and 1 to ‘The Deadliest Catch’.
The ‘Deadliest Catch’.
Another M.I.A. today was ‘Passport Control’, he was tied up showing his new squeeze “Irish” around Pattaya and showing her off to all he can find. Fine lass she is too.
Foos yer Doos (last seen at the market bars around 11pm on Thursday night, at which time he vehemently declared his intention play on the Friday) did his party-piece again and failed to show up with the roll-over kitty from the previous week. Nick – Tash’s Razor – provided some entertainment on his first guest appearance at the society, even the caddies had a good laugh at some of his trick shots.
Down the road for a few quick refreshments where “The Deadliest Catch “declined to have a photo taken, so the photo accompanying this report shows Mr Crabb in a scene from The Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel.
One for the Irish
Another very blustery day greeted the Backyard boys at Emerald on Friday, Dec. 20. The recent cool weather is certainly providing comfortable golf conditions but the wind can play havoc with a lot of shots.
The winner today was Irish John with 37 points while the near-pin prize was won by the Passport Control, as was last week’s roll-over. Skins were well doled out with 5 to Irish John, 4 to Don the Divorcer, 2 each to Golden Trowel’s boyfriend and Jimmy 2 Stone and the last 5 holes 1 rolled over to the next game.
Foos yer Doos will no longer be allowed to hold on to the roll-over kitty as he always fails to show up when he has the money.
We said farewell today to Andy “The Deadliest Catch” Crabb and the Biss and welcomed another defector from Slimey’s in Chris. The Divorcer has headed to Siem Reap for Christmas, no doubt the killing fields will be getting a visit along the way.
