The Backyard Golf Society

The weekly Backyard Golf Society game at Emerald on Dec. 6 was played in ideal golfing conditions; the brisk wind keeping the temperature down although it did prove to be tricky to judge on some holes.  Just as J.C. saved the best wine until last at the wedding feast, so Linda’s Lovelace saved his best ever round with us to his last outing.  35 points gave Mickey a 3 shot victory on his last bash before heading back for a short rest in England’s balmy winter weather.  Runner-up was The Diet Whiskey Man on 32 and then 5 players on 31 points.

Near-pin today went to Irish John while the skins produced a good spread of winners, with 4 to Jimmy ‘2 Stone’ and Golden Trowel’s Boyfriend (seems she has just started her own concrete business and is keen to get back and look after the old fella again?), 3 each to Lovelace and Foos yer Doos, 2 to Irish John, 1 to Diet Whiskey and 1 rolled over to next week.

Foos yer Doos finally coughed up the rollover kitty he took for safe keeping to NW Thailand 2 weeks ago.  The worry is that he is now in possession of the current kitty so one can only hope he actually turns up next week!
