“Tales” from Long Faced JVC
Game number 2 of the year.
We played at Port Elizabeth Golf club, in blustery
conditions. Well done to the club for once again
giving us a well prepared course. My personal
thanks to Barry Harmer for assisting me with the
Whisky for the thirsty golfers that needed fuel before the 1st tee.
Now for the Tale
Got to the club Ultra early so that I could get the Alter set up. I was so
busy, I didn't even have time for my usual Hansa draft. My partner for
the day was my Gary player partner and National Junior Vice Captain,
Greg Clack. We were ready to shoot the lights out and take one of the
coveted Old Mutual Pairs spots. Epic fail. Our opposition was the ever
smiling Steve Pritchard who looked a little like a minstrel with his white
sun block all over his lips, and Rob Griffiths. Gentlemen thank you for
the game and your cash. Really enjoyed your company.
The last 4 ball came in at 17h30, and so I was looking at a 18h15 prize
giving. I tried to hustle the guys into the shower, but I was met with
laughter and jokes about my long face. It was also suggested that
perhaps I should shower first before I run around telling others to
shower. Point taken. Got prize giving off at 18h30.
Thanks to the 4 Altar bunnies (including Howard Lipman) for your help
afterwards in dismantling the alter. It is much appreciated
A little competition for you. In each of my articles there will be a
highlighted letter. Over the months, note the letters. Then unjumble the
letters and make a word. Email me the word. Winner by lucky draw will
get a lovely bottle of bells.
Nationals is round the corner, and entries are completed. The Frontier
Trophy and Rough Rider are on the 6th and 7th April, which is only 5
weeks away. There will be 20 places available. Entry forms will be out
shortly. If you are interested, mark it in your diaries now.
