It was another scorcher of a day for golf at Emerald on Friday, May 8. Those few who walked the course really knew they had been in the cauldron when they got back to the clubhouse and downed that first, well deserved coldie. The caddies must hate walkers at this time of year, but that is the luck of the draw.
The winner again this week with 38 points was Irish John, but by some quirk of the handicap system his handicap actually went out by 0.1? Go figure.
The near pin prize went to Andy “The Deadliest Catch” Crabb, recently returned from his latest overseas foray in the offshore geophysical game.
Amazingly all 7 players today won at least 1 skin with 5 each to Russell “He’s a Victorian” and Dan “Diet Whiskey”, doubles to Irish John, The Biss and Second-hand Bob and singles to “The Deadliest Catch” and The Quiet Man.
Down the road then to the standard free round of drinks from the winner and some interesting stories from the course. The place is so much quieter now that Foos yer Doos has taken a break from his DJ duties and Golden Trowel’s Boyfriend has taken off to Perth.
