ANOTHER SPOON FOR THE WHITE CHIMNEY TEAM




DAVIE REVIE
NOW A 2 TIME 
WINNER OF THE SPOON


HAPPY DAYS WHAT A RESULT 
DR - SPOON BOY

AS -  SMARTY

GL - DODI

Phone call from just outside Cupar.


DR   "Hello, is that the White Chimneys? "

"It's the Glasgow Hackers looking to order the Full Monty big breakfasts for us all and we will be there in 15 mins."

DR  "You know guys you canny beat a big full breakfast, it sets you up for the day."

AS  "You are right Davie, I find loading ma gut with all the grease loosens ma swing and I'm more
          relaxed."

GL   "I feel the same Eck and I don't think any of us have won the Spoon after a big White Chimneys
          special maybe it's our good luck charm."

AS   "Aye well, we're no telling any other fucker about it then."

DR   "You two talk some shite, good luck charms and loosening swings. What a lot of bullshit."

DR  "Anyway, I don't need to eat a big breakfast to avoid the Spoon."

DR  "Do you no remember who I am?"

DR  "I'm the TOUR LEADER."

AS "Anyone can win the Spoon. Tour Leader means fuck all to the Spoon."

GL "Alex is right, look at Wee Craig he's won the Spoon and he's a golfer + 2 handicap no a slapper
         like you Davie."

DR "I will slap your napper, Dodi."

DR "There's no way I'm winning the Spoon. To be a Tour Leader means I'm playing solid consistent
         golf and the Spoon ain't on ma fucking radar."

GL "Davy, your golf can be red hot and utter shite 6 hours apart."

DR  "Not now wee man. Mr Consistent that's me fucking number 1 and Tour Leader."

DR  "Another good round today will put me in the driving seat and extend my lead. That's me the
          fucking Tour  Leader and Mr Consistent. Happy days are here to stay."

6 TRYING HOURS LATER 

DR "This is a fucking nightmare going home with this fucking Spoon. How the fuck did I get it?"

GL  "You got it Davie because Scott Wylie beat …."

DR "Shut the fuck up Dodi!"

AS "Your were unlucky Davie getting 28 points and still getting Spooned."

GL "Thought you were Mr Consistent now Mr Revie. Fucking happy days."

DR " I'm warning you Dodi, I'm not in a happy frame of mind just now."

AS "Maybe it was the extra black pudding you had Davy?"

DR "What the fuck are you rabbiting on about fucking black pudding."

AS " Aye I find it repeats back on me for some reason especially when I'm over a putt and it causes me
         to miss a lot of putts because of it."

DR " You're having a laugh aren't you?"

AS "I putted like a fanny today".

DR "Piss off Alex I'm no listening to your shite about missed putts. How many points today?  Oh yes
        36. So you didn't putt bad.  Now give ma skull a rest"

GL "That's you The White Chimneys Spoon Leader now".

DR "What?"

GL  "You've won more Spoons than me or Eck now"

AS "There you go Davie - you're still a Leader".

DR  "Aye ya wankers, kick a man when he's down".

DR  "I've got to go home and explain to the household why I'm Spoon Boy".

AS "Why explain yourself?"

DR "I told them I'm the Leader of the Tour and now I come home with the fucking Spoon."

GL "No Davy you're no the Tour Leader anymore thats big VJ he …."

DR "Shut the fuck up Dodi, I know I'm no the leader anymore."

AS "Aye Davie, there is a real consistent golfer big Davy G. He's really consistent all the time and no
        just for a few rounds like you."

DR "That's coming from the man who blames black pudding for missing putts. What a lot of shite."

DR "Wee man, can I leave this thing in your boot for 2 weeks?"

GL  "Two words, Davie, beginning with  F and O."

AS  "Maybe Robert will forget to put your photo on the web site."

DR  "That bastard will give me pelters. Just watch and see come Wednesday night the whole world
          will be able to see I'm Spoon Boy again."

AS  "Roberts no like that. Maybe it will just be a wee picture and it will be lost among the other
         winners."

GL "I don't think your picture should be in with the winners. You ares a loooooser and should have
        your own post. I need to phone Robert and suggest that one."

AS "No he keeps it a lot smaller now. He doesn't seem to rip into anyone much now about winning the
        Spoon."

DR "Fucking hope so!"

DR "Roll on Lundin Links till I get back to the top of the Leader board.  I'm no having black pudding
        again and I'm no winning the Spoon again."

DR "See you all soon. I'm off to plank the Spoon in the shed and hopefully nobody finds out I'm
         SPOONY again!"

HACKERS 
CHRISTMAS 
BASH
2013






DUNVEGAN HOTEL
ST ANDREWS





This years Christmas Bash will be at St Andrews.

We are struggling to get on members courses before 11 and Leven were only letting us out at 11am and last game 11.50am. We would never have got everyone round before it gets dark.

So we have decided to moved the Kittocks round to the 15th of December and Leven will now be on the 19th of January.

I have got the same golf deal for the Kittocks as we had on the Torrance a few weeks ago.

Our first tee time will be 9.20am !!!

Why is it so early?

The last game out is 10.30 and they say we need to allow 4hrs 30 min. That means the last  game will be finishing at 3pm. Sun set is 3.30pm. If it is a dull day it can be getting dark at 3. So they we must start at 9.20 for everyone to get around.

I have booked the private dining room at the Dunvegan Hotel down in St Andrews for a 3 course Christmas dinner. The Dunvegan is a 9 iron away from the 18th of the Old Course.

We used to use the Dunvegan Hotel a lot for meals after the golf but the last time was 5 years ago after a summer round up at the Kittocks. Once you finish your round just head down to the hotel. Dinner will be served once everyone is there.

Details of the day

I WILL ASSUME EVERYONE WHO HAS ENTERED LEVEN WILL NOW BE PLAYING THE KITTOCKS AND HAVING DINNER AFTERWARDS.


Draw will be at 9am

First tee time 9.20 am

Dinner will be served at 4pm in the Dunvegan Hotel.

Cost

Golf  £20

3 Course Dinner  £20

Total for day £40

Below is the menu.

I will be taking a list of your choices at Lundin next week as I need to give them the list so it can be prepared for us arriving.

IN SECOND PLACE LAST YEARS TOUR CHAMP  IAN FOX

IN THIRD PLACE GRAHAM DICKIE

FIRST EVENT FOR GARY McGILL AND GETS A NEAREST THE PIN

ANOTHER NEAREST THE PIN FOR MICK DRUMMOND


GERALDO IS THE CRAIL WINNER 2013


BALCOMIE 
CHAMPION
2013

 


Most people know that Gerry is our King Spooner with 4 Spoons to his name but what a lot possibly don't know is that he is now a 3 time winner on the Tour.

Geraldo has won at Lundin Links twice and his victory at Crail takes him to within 1 Tour win of equalling Ian Bairds 4 wins.

Can he notch up another win in 2 weeks time at Lundin Links ? Having won twice there already he seems to play well around it so you never know.

A BELTER OF A DAY AT CRAIL


CRAIL LINKS
THE 
BALCOMIE COURSE
 2013




17th November 2013

Round 3

Winter Tour 2013/14

The weather all week had been shocking but as we headed up the coast to Crail on Sunday you would have thought it looked like a summers day. Yes it was cool but it is November and with hardly a breath of wind it was looking good for some decent scores.

It was certainly a day for scoring and from the results below you will see only 3 players never got 30 or more points.

The winner of round 3 was Geraldo with a total of 40 points beating Foxy on count back. Gerry had a back 9 of 20 and Ian 17. Foxy will be kicking himself as a poor 3 putt on the last cost him a point and a win. Last years Tour winner was in great form on the front 9 with 23 points.

Gerry is now starting to hit some form after a poor few rounds in Florida and his "coach " Sinky seems to have got him hitting the ball high and straight with few wee tips. The Cullen boys are always sniffing about the prizes with Jim getting the Spoon in round 2 and now Geraldo winning round 3.

In 3rd place was Graham Dickie beating the Florida champion and round 2 winner Davy Graham on count back . Both had 39 points.

Nearest the pins were Gary McGill and Mick Drummond.

SPOON BOY was the Tour Leader after 2 rounds and a former SPOON winner DAVIE REVIE. He won the Spoon with 28 points beating Scott Wylie to the Spoon. Both had 28 but Scott had 15 on the back 9 Davie only had 13.

More to follow on the Spoon Boy later.

Thanks to AlexSmart and Davie Drew for collecting the sweep and food money.

Everyone should have received a copy of the spread sheet with the running totals. If not let me know.
