The Backyard Golf Society
We had another good turnout at the weekly Backyard Golf Society outing at Emerald last Friday. ‘Michelle’ Chatt’s revolutionary method of using beer bottle tops to pick the groups passed its first test and wasn’t she a happy organizer during the post-game discussions.
The winner of the main competition was ‘The Quiet Man’, winning by 1 from Russell ‘He’s a Victorian’. The near-pin prize was also won by Russell.
Don ‘the Divorcer’s birdie on the 1st hole won him that skin plus the 3 rollovers from the previous week. Irish John won 7 skins, Russell won 2 and we have 8 rolled-over to next week’s game, so the 1st skin will be well worth winning next Friday.
Some interesting talking points from the game: ‘The Victorian’ split his ball in 2 on the 18th hole, had to take a penalty and thus lost out in the main competition; Dan ‘the Diet Whiskey Man’ apparently had some issue with the plumbing on his colostomy bag and had to take a boy’s-room break every 3 holes. There were also concerns for Don ‘the Divorcer’ (well known to take his time on every shot) on the 12th hole where his playing partners – ‘The Quiet Man’ and Andy ‘The Deadliest Catch’ Crabb – actually thought he had either gone to sleep over the ball or had somehow altered the fabric of the universe and beamed over to a parallel dimension. Fortunately ‘The Divorcer’ was just taking his time and returned to the real world again.
