The Eagle Has Landed

Eddie "The Eaglle"
Eddie “The Eagle”

 

There was great excitement at the Men”s Saturday competition when it was realised that Eddie “The Eagle” Van Keulen had returned to golf after a break of 20 months. When play was completed for the  day it was apparent that Eddie had lost none of his flare.

The par competition was won by David “Jack” Webster on 2 up while David “”Robbie” Robinson was runner up all square. The Mars bar went to Richard “Pickles” Matz with an appalling score of -12. Pickles was understandably very embarrassed and left before presentations so Eddie “The Eagle” ate his Mars Bar for him.

Winter Midweek Starts in Perfect April Weather

Colourful sporting identity, Philip “Tommo” Thomson won the opening round of the Winter midweek golf on a count back from David “Robbie Robinson. Both scored 37 points. Andy Phillips got an excellent start scoring 20 points on the front 9 , but suffered a bad fade on the back 9 to finish with just 33. Andy will need to work on his fitness to prevent a repeat. Saturday’s winner, Richard “Pickles” Matz was unable to maintain his good form.

The club’s 2 worst putters fought for the Mars Bar with Dick Cleland finally sinking a tricky put on the final hole to leave Pat “The Rat” Hallion with the confectionery.
