There are days when mastering the conditions are more difficult than mastering the course. So it was on the 5th April as the competitors teed up for the Hall of Fame Qualifier. The course was looking in good nick, the greens were slick and the wind howled in from many different directions at once. Apparently there is some-one who competed still walking around in a daze after standing on the 4th tee and upon looking to the left saw that the flags on the clubhouse were allegedly blowing from left to right, but when looking at the green ahead, is utterly convinced the flag was blowing right to left. The committee may have to be asked to look into the gentleman's medication dosages. (The doctors reckon I'll be fine in a couple of days!)
Results.
1. Rory Tinker with a Nett score of 71
2. Fergus Martin with a Nett score of 73
3. Ray Michie with a nett score of 74
4. Alfie Docherty with a Nett score of 74
Congratulations then to Rory on winning todays event, all the more so, as Rory is one of 5 of our Junior boys who took part. Unfortunately as Rory is a Junior Member, he cannot be put forward to the Regional Qualifier, and so Fergus will represent the club.

Rory Tinker - New Playing Handicap of 24

As the use of 'outside'aids is prohibited in the game of golf can the Gents Committee ascertain if the use of a coach to transverse the carpark on the approach shot to the 15th green is deemed legal or illegal.
This piece of 'outside influence' was used by Frankie 'BOOM BOOM' Moran during the 'Hall of Fame' qualifier last Saturday. He may tell that it was the strong wind that carried his ball left, making it bounce off the coach roof and land inbounds by no more than the thickness of Gandhi's flipflop! But his two playing partners know the truth(and it's out there Frank).
A ruling would benefit all members before they all rush out and buy coaches to park in the carpark (or look for the large pile of dog pooh that Frank obviously stood in that morning).
