 El Caballo Blanco weekend. Mole with the mug who made his mark (pardon the pun) – by drinking 16 pints!!!!

11th at Hamersley:

•   Andy hits Pig’s ball

•   Pig doesn’t realise and calls the ball lost (2 shot penalty)

•   Pig hits a provisional from where the ball was lost 

•   Pig then hits the ball that Andy had hit (his 'lost' ball) and not the provisional he had played (2 shot penalty)

•   Pig finds the provisional he had played and plays it and loses it (2 shot penalty)

•   Pig plays the original ball and holes out with 2 putts – for an 11 with 6 penalty shots - wherein he lost a ball and ended up with the ball he started with! 

11th at Hamersley again (a notorious hole): the group of Tampo, Boudy, Harro & Andy all had jugs (2 Ladies and 2 Quins) with a total of 43 shots ... well played lads

2001

Cappy shot a minus 16 at Hamersley ... worst ever?

Fintan had a birdie followed by an eagle on his way to worst nett.
In another round (at Wembley) he shot one over for the day, but because it was his trophy day he couldn't win the trophy, and because he'd won the day he couldn't win the Mystery 9 ... it's these little quirks that make the club worthwhile

Bruce had to chase and round up a rogue marron that escaped in Warwick

Steve burned his eye and had his vision impaired. Andy nicknamed him Blind Pew – which prompted some conversation and discussion including Bruce who hadn’t heard of Blind Pew and  having known Steve for so long was surprised he didn’t know or had heard of "Trevor Ireland" (nor would it seem had he heard of Robert Louis Stevenson)

POD was on the ABC for living in a haunted house

Bruce advised that all five of his siblings had been run over and to top it all he  had also been run over twice. He went on to describe how his brother had been run over by his 2 year old son and pinned to a bench.

Gaye suggested a Witty Titty Ditty at the Anzac Day Mystery 9

Docker put Fintan’s dislocated knee back on 15th – saw how it was done from TV (Paul Kelly Sydney Swans) – later diagnosed as Insulted Knee

Cappy had 6 putts on 1st hole, 5 putts on 2nd.

A patron at Sun City thought Cappy was a woman 

Erin hit a house and chipped in for 16 and zero

Why is JK also Known as “Arti”?

JK was playing the final round of the club champs at Maylands, coming into the last day well and truly in contention at 1 behind the leader. JK burned up the first 4 holes to be 3 under. He completed the front 9 in a sensational 1 over par 37, busting the game apart sitting 5 shots clear at the turn. Game over one would think. But the wheels fell off in sequence on the back 9 with balls in rough, balls in river, triple bogeys everywhere. JK closed out the back 9 in 60 and handed over the green jacket to Joffa. He was immediately dubbed “Arti Choke” for his efforts by Aussie, rubbing salt into the gaping wound in true DAGS fashion.
