J Cullen NR
As you can see from the above results we had 1 NR on Sunday. Two time winner of the Spoon Jim Cullen was guilty of carding letters at the bottom of the card. The manner in how and when the NR appeared is what sets this apart from all others.
Jimbo did not record one number on his card - none anywhere ,nil ,zero.
The reason for this was he decided to NR before he had reached the green on the 1st hole !!
A good drive up the first then ended up in the trees on the right - numerous swipes later at various balls as the original ball was replaced by a few other top flites as they scudded about the trees and the under growth.
Being always the conscientious golfer he was aware of the following group waiting to play the second shots and his own partner waiting on the second tee for him. Jim waved cheerio to the first green and went looking for his playing partners on the second.
NO RETURN ON THE FIRST- A HACKERS RECORD
How do I know all this bullshit ?
I have Hackers often phoning me at work on Monday's trying to explain how they performed so poorly on a certain hole or round before I post it on the site !!
Jim phoned me at work on Monday to ask if it was possible to have a quick word with me.
Had I heard of his problems up the first ?
"Just wee whispers" I replied
"Aye whispers from that bastard Hammy I bet"
"Well it's all a lot of shite and he is taking the piss out me"
"We can't have that Jim you sound a bit upset" I replied to the above comments
"Can I tell you what really happened as I would like to get my side of the story over and not have that big bastards Hammy's version appearing on the web site."?
Jim having heard both versions I have decided Hammy's is more entertaining so nae luck.
The above is Hammy's story - Jim's was a lot of excuses and we Hackers don't like excuses . If you hit 10-13 shots up a wee par 4 the reason is that you were rotten and we can all be rotten at some time.
I had a text from Stevie Paul over in Portugal playing golf with John Carslaw. The text was to tell me John had a NR and make sure I got his pound !!!
How many have shot a round that has more birdies than pars ! Yes on Sunday Craig had 6 birdies 5 pars and 7 bogeys to finish 1 over. He threw away a great chance to shoot really low with numerous poor chips and some missed putts.
I was playing with The Tango man Sinky all decked out in orange from top to toe. Ricky Fowler he certainly was not - more like Ricky Fulton as his golf was rank rotten.
Brian Newall decided to play Zorro with his putter on the 5th and messed up his round swiping back and forth with ease.
On the last I myself only had to bogey the hole at worst to hit buffer. A good strike to the green and things look good but in true Hacker tradition lets just fucking 4 putt from 15 feet and miss the buffer as all good Hackers are capable of doing - what a dick !!
So looking at the scores from the last few weeks I don't see anyone on great form and I think this weekends outing will be wide open for the individual prizes.
The team contest will be interesting and I think it will be very tight between all. This is the first we have ever done this and it makes a change from the four balls.
I better let you all know that there will be a prize for the donkey team also. That could be interesting as one of the team could play a blinder and win overall only to have 2 fuds in his team and also get a diddy award also.
Johnny is picking up the shirts tomorrow and will be available next Sunday at the course. Cost is £20.00 for the shirt.
Weather looking good for Sunday.
Post from Tuesday's medal to follow.
Hackers shortest ever drive caught on camera - not to be missed.
Who is it ??
One clue
He had a NR !!
Finally
How many have hit the wee dyke on the first in their sleep ??
How many have hit the big tree ??
How many have hit the club house ??
How many have buried their ball in the heather ??
How many are reloading to do one of the above with their second ball ??
Yes Gents it is a interesting tee shot that will get tighter the more you think about it.
Good night sleep well.
