The Backyard Golf Society
Last Friday, November 4, saw the return of several (large) Backyard boys, with Forklift, Second-Hand Bob (always good when he is here because we get to see Boo again) and The Yak adding considerable bulk to the outing. With Uncle Fester (tasked with the near-pin flag but forgetting to leave it on the green), Fudge Factor and the rest we now have the heaviest crew in the society’s history. If we ever decide to take up tug-of-war or sitting on bat stools we should do well.
The winner of the stableford on the day was Fudge Factor with 36 points while the near-pin went to The Quiet Man.
The skins were well shared out with 5 to Andy “The Deadliest Catch” Crabb (also a returnee), 4 to Irish John (who took time out from working for The Samaritans!!), 3 to Fudge Factor (plus the 2 rollovers from the previous week), 2 to “Diet Whiskey” Morgan, singles to The Quiet Man and Second-hand Bob and 2 rolled over to next week
The after game drink was interrupted by the sight of the shirtless “Who BRought Him” chasing his caddy to get back his 1000Bt. note that he had given instead of 100Bt., so he was asked not to appear in that condition again in front of the startled gathering. Even the resident dogs (one of whom was hit by Diet Whiskey) started to howl when they saw the apparition.
