Not many people know this but "Captain Desperado" from Cawder a few weeks ago had a wee ceremony to mark his wedding anniversary and this is the cake he brought with him.

You won't be surprised to hear that he never waited for the cake to be cut as he rushed off from the reception to meet the boys for the Friday Sweep at 1.15pm.

A BOOK FOR 
MR CARPET WISE
DEL BOY



We have all heard Del moan about his putting and we all know he spends a lot of time at Carpetwise blagging all sorts of carpet cuts that he can use to practice on in the garage.

This book might help him sort out all the 4 putts he has.

Nae 1 foot gimmes for you Del Boy if I get drawn against you in round 1.

12 MONTHS AGO

LADYBANK

2012


Blue sky and glorious sunshine

As we all look out our windows this morning it's hard to remember just how good the weather was this time last year. Our Final last year was played in fantastic conditions with the temperature creeping towards 80 degrees.

12 months on and were are we ?

The same place we have been since Christmas. Stuck with a cold easterly wind bringing all sorts of shit down on us. We have had the odd day here and there but in general its been a battle to try and get the rounds in that we managed to play.

Even as far back as the Christmas round it was touch and go to get Dundonald playable as it had been frozen all week. So far this winter we have managed just 7 rounds.

After the New Year it all went down hill and we have cancelled 3 rounds now and had to reschedule another.

So this years Final will now be played on the 26th of May at St Michaels. Everyone was emailed yesterday and informed of the cancellation and the new date.

This is the fairest option and means everyone has a chance of playing as more and more people were having to pull out if it went ahead next week. Three more players pulled out on Thursday night including 2 of the donkey 4 ball and we can't have that !

So the plan is to play the Final as normal but in May.

It is currently Full at 32 players.

The list was posted earlier in the month.

Same deal we had in the winter to play the course.


Ladybank is certainly not looking like this today

MATCHPLAY BULLSHIT

There has been a lot of emails and texts flying about all week about this weekends draw for the Matchplay Competition.

I have struggled to keep track of requests, who's humping and who's the best at fuck knows what.

We have had Steven Gibson wanting to play SHANKER as he getting rodgered. Tommy says nobody will beat him at East Ren.

Mick Drummond needs to find a club to play at  he's no got a club !!!!

Mick  also,wants to  know if its a knock out comp !!!!!

It's fucking Matchplay

Tommy a answer to that question

"Mick your fucking thick"

Tommy then decided to challenge me .

Mr Nic you will be bricking it if you get me

First question on the first tee

"How's the shanks doing Tommy "?

It will be all over by the 10th - home or away.

Favourite for the comp must be the man who never gets beat - Vera

Foxy wants him in a shitty day for a real royal pumpimg !

"Never beat me on the full course off the big boys tees"

"Hits it like a women off the tee and its no winters frozen links golf "

Foxy wants to pump Vera

In fact so does Sinky

Simon doesn't want to pay Vera as he's already pumped him a few weeks ago.

"I've embarrassed him once don't want to pump him again"

Who does Vera want ?

Anyone in the Donkey 4 all as their all shite !!!!

Get into him guys !!!

Breaking News tonight

John Byrne has joined the squad at Cawder !!

Foxy says " The pussay has landed "

Who else is going to pumpwho ?

Richard Aitken posted - The Spoon is magic for clearing snow !!!!

THE DRAW WILL BE ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND ALL WILL BE REVEALED !!

NOT MUCH OF A CHANGE

There is not much change in the forecast.

We currently have 24 players able to play the following weekend and a decision will be made tomorrow. It is unfortunate that it has come to this and I know players who can't make the following weekend are disappointed. I will speak to Ladybank tomorrow and make a decision. Looking at the temperatures I am certain it will be winter greens if we did decide to go.

NOT LOOKING GOOD



The weather for Sunday looks very poor and yesterday Ladybank got 4-5 inches of snow. Today it was closed and it's to early to say how it will be by Sunday.

My own feeling is that it will be at best winter greens if the course gets open.

We will keep you all updated.
