NEAREST THE PIN - SO F....G WHAT !!!!!

DEL GETTING PISSED OF AT THE SLAGGING

NEAREST THE PIN AND LONGEST DRIVE

SPONSORS DAY

LENZIE GOLF CLUB

Today Davy Graham kindly asked me to play in his team at the annual sponsors team. Davy decided it was time for a change and dropped one of his team members from previous years Vera James.

The Big Man was not a happy bunny and all this week has been telling everyone what a w....r big DG is. So he put out some SOS signals to other sponsors and made himself available to all and sundry in order to get a game.

All turned out fine and he got a space in one of Yorkie Stirling's teams and even went on to win a prize in second place.

This post is not about VJ but one of my teammates Derick "Del Boy" Mitchell who played some excellent golf today and with 2- 2s including a net 1 was hitting his irons nice and sweet.

Unfortunately the old saying "putt for money" came and sorted him out on the 17th.

A great tee shot once again not only resulted in being very close to the pin but he was closest all day and won the prize that included all categories at that hole.

Walking up to the green he was whistling yankee doodle dandy looking very chuffed with himself at having another great chance at a 2 net 1. "That was a good shot" he was saying as he marched confidently to the green.

We were in for a 3 giving Del a clear run for his 2 with just 8 feet to putt.

Lining things up talking to his putter and whispering sweet noises to it he swiped at the ball - not fucking hard enough and the ball dribbled of line and down the hill leaving him a wee 2 foot uphill tap in.

He proceeded to tap the bloody ball straight right and miss for a 4 net 3 !!

NEAREST THE PIN ALL DAY AND GOT A 4 !!!!

We lost 3rd place by 1 shot and Derek got a lot of stick from all even members who weren't even playing. Word spread far and some Lenzie members playing out at Cawder even heard out there that some numpty had got nearest the pin and never parred the hole.

In his defence he played really well and that was a unfortunate blip on a good round which also got him longest drive at 16th.

Nevertheless he had to get a mention for getting a prize for nearest the pin and not even parring the hole.

Still Derek I would rather count on playing in a team with someone who 3 putts from 8 feet than some other numpty who 5 putts from 12 inches !!!!

Don't worry Derek it was only a hat and balls we missed out on anyway and I look forward to joining you at Greenock with your 4 ball prize.
