A VIEW FROM INSIDE THE BUGGY

St Andrews
2010
THE OPEN
STEVIE PAUL MISSES A PUTT TO WIN THE BRITISH OPEN !!!!

Above picture shows you just how much
he was trying. The putt was for 1 point on a par 5.
HE MISSED -WHAT A FUD
It was at this point he told
Hammy to take the match as he wanted to
concentrate on his own game.
Alex mumbling another
f-----g blob and I have
not even putted yet on
this f-----g hole !!!!!
Hammy putting for a 7
HE MISSED !!!
He was only 60 yards from the green in 2
Ended up with A SNOWMAN
Awesome stuff big guy.
Top marks for entertaining me
on Sunday.

A DAY AT THE GOLF WITH THE HACKERS

As you all know, unfortunately I am unable to play golf at this moment due to knee surgery but on Sunday I decided to go along and be entertained from inside the buggy.

As I watched the first few games tee off I witnessed Derek hit his drive 20 yards on the first. I thought definite spoon material, but all credit to Del he ended up being 1 of only 9 players who would get more than 30 points.

It was bitterly cold as I set off out to see the first few games as the rest waited on their tee time. The first game I caught up with was the 3rd game out. Jim Stirling and Kenny Lang were also in a buggy and they were up against Gerry Cullen and David Stirling. Jim sank a 30 footer for a birdie 2 only to then see David get up and down for a 3 net 2.

I went out to the 6th and watched the games come by.

Game 2 with Jim Cullen, John Hamilton,Tommy Nicholson and Stevie Paul. Hammy walked up the 5th and informed me he had started with 4 zero pointers (blobs) and he was really struggling to find any game. Tommy was going great at this stage and so was Jim who
proceeded to hit a great shot at the 6th which was a nearest the pin hole.

The games kept coming by and it was evident early on that there was some poor scoring going on and our man in form Geraldo Cullen had already got 2 blobs on his card after 5 holes.

Sinky, Derek, Alex and Craig came by next and both Craig and Gordon hit very good irons into the heart of the green. Gordon was only 3 inches outside Jim's marker. Gordon and Derek were 4 down in their match to Alex and Craig after 5 holes !

The next game finished the 5th with only 3 players as Graham Dickie drove up the wrong fairway then proceeded to get lost, allowing Andrew, John Carslaw and John Cummins to finish before he got back to them. A nil pointer on that hole for Mr Dickie.

Other players struggling along at this point included Stevie (I WILL NEVER WIN THE SPOON) Paul and unfortunately things were about to get even worse for him. George Leadbitter , Graham Dickie and Kenny Lang were all showing signs of concern by the 6th hole.

Players going well at this stage were Jim Stirling, Tommy, Andrew Alexander and young Craig Chalmers.

AT THE TURN

Hammy 7 points
Graham 8
Kenny 9
George 9
Gerry 9
Stevie 11

The best at the turn were Andrew and Tommy with 20 points and Jim. Craig and a few others were on 17/16.

Then the fun started as Stevie Paul's game got a whole lot worse and he was right in pole position for the Wooden Spoon.

How funny it is to watch grown men cut across from hole to hole to check what other players have and cheer when they hear that someone is having a bad day.

Here are some of the comments:

Hammy asked Stevie "what's the state of play in the match" to which Stevie replied "I don't give a fuck about the match, you take it. Here is £3.00, just fuck off and let me concentrate on my own game".

"Is Gerry playing shite?" "Totally," I replied. "Bastard, I knew he would. I should have had a bet with him again this week". Jim grinning from ear to ear at his brother's woeful total.

The match with Stevie and Hammy halved the 14th with 7's and Hammy got an 8! He was only 60 yards from the green in 2 and got an 8 - great to watch, awesome stuff.

On the same hole, Stevie had a putt for a single point and he missed. The picture above shows his reaction to missing it. You would think he had missed a putt to win the Open - this was real pressure and Stevie was right in the shit at this stage. But credit due, Stevie dug in and got 9 points in the last 3 holes to save face this time.

"I will never win the Spoon" - Ma arse. Watch this space, gents.

Also in this game, the leader at the turn, Tommy Nicholson, was scoring nothing like he did in the front 9 and he was to drop way down the leader board with only 9 points to be added to his front 9.

Jim Stirling was playing steady golf and when Kenny Lang got a 4 pointer at 14 it pulled him out of the mire.

Jim was also involved in running across from the 9th to the 10th to Jim Cullen's buggy, grabbing the keys and then tossing them down the fairway. Jim shouted the usual - "fuck off you wanker Stirling" and ran back to get the keys. I said to Jim, you're lucky he threw them down the fairway, a few years ago he would have flung them in the gorse bushes.

Coming along behind was Gerry and he was in all sorts of shit with not one part of his game working. The points total was desperate and slowly word filtered round the course that Gerry was playing shite and his score was in the low teens. This seemed highly amusing to a lot of people and plenty of back slapping and cheering rang out around the course. The players who were in trouble themselves seemed to relax and put some distance between themselves and Geraldo who was by now just wanting off the course and the comfort of a plate of soup.

Hammy, George and Graham managed to rally in the last few holes and secure enough points to escape the Spoon.

At the front of the leader board Craig was having a very strong back 9 in tough conditions and he racked up 20 points. Andrew dropped points in the last few holes allowing Craig to pip him at the post with BIH.

The early leader in the clubhouse was Neil Keir with 35 points and that was good enough for 3rd overall .

Well done to all. I enjoyed my day and, as I said to Gordon when we got home, I couldn't have watched that entertainment on the television. So a big thank you to all for the afternoon's entertainment.

I will post some more photos soon and a list for Powfoot. First tee time is 10.28am on 5 December.
Hope the frost disappears as they are on winter greens today. I can't see the Elite boys playing there this weekend.

SPOON BOY SCOTSCRAIG 2010

SPOON BOY
GERALDO CULLEN

As we drove over the Tay Bridge Gerry announced that it would be nice to get a wee win at Scotscraig to go with his winnings from Lundin and Leven.

Well he certainly got his wee win with a wee score of just 16 points he ended up clutching the Wooden Spoon. Not the prize Geraldo had in mind.

I met him at 5 and he had 2 blobs to his name and was not a happy chappy. Reaching the turn he had only 9 points and his game went even further down the tube with only 7 more points on the back 9.
Brother Jim spoke to me on the 14th and asked how Gerry was doing, When he heard of his struggles Jim was gutted that he had not placed another bet with Gerry.
On the 15th Gerry shanked a wedge straight at me and nearly fractured my other leg and by now his game was well and truly back over the Tay Bridge.

So Gerry becomes a 2 time winner of the spoon. These Cullen boys just can't stop winning something every outing.

Gerry is now also the proud holder of the lowest points total for 18 holes in normal conditions (not frozen ground).

The spoon is now back hanging in Geraldo's house till next week and with Jim not going to Powfoot we will only have 1 Cullen chasing the prizes - what prize will it be ?

WELL DONE GERRY DON'T FORGET THE SPOON NEXT WEEK

Scotscraig Results

FIRST REPORT FROM SCOTSCRAIG



A bitter cold and windy day resulted in some very low points totals. The course was also playing long and with straight driving a must around this trek many players found themselves with one hand on the wooden spoon as the round reached the turn.

There will be more about the day later on in a special report - A View from Inside the Buggy.

The testing conditions resulted in only 9 players achieving 30 points or more and the winner was Craig Chalmers with 36 points finishing 3 over par for the round. Also playing to his handicap with 36 points was Andrew Alexander who reached the turn with 20 points only to falter in the back 9 and allow Craig to beat him on the bih with 20 points. Neil Keir was in 3rd place with 35 points.

Nearest the pins were as follows

13th Brian Newell
6th Davy Chalmers

NO SPOON FOR ME THIS YEAR


THINGS PEOPLE DO TO AVOID THE SPOON.

Yesterday I went in to get a tear in my cartilage repaired, having been told by the doctor last week that recovery was 2-3 weeks and I would be running again. I was also told that I would be walking out of hospital yesterday.
As you can guess things didn't go to plan and I am on full crutches for 6 weeks and full recovery 2- 3 months. Just prior to going into the theatre the Consultant announced that he was concerned about other areas of my cartilage and he might have to do a small clean up but I would still walk out of hospital.
Then he announced that he might have to do some reconstructive work and that would be a different matter. Full crutches for at least 6 weeks and 3 months recovery but he wouldn't know until he had a look inside.
I went into surgery which was meant to be for 25-30 minutes and instead it lasted 90 minutes.
The knee was a lot worse than he thought and he had to drill small holes in the cartilage and make micro fractures which should heal larger and stronger. The original tear was no problem and went fine but I am now totally dependent on these crutches and there will be no chance of me winning the spoon this year.
So Stevie P that is one of the C's out of the equation and Jamie C is also not playing that just leaves the Cullens so you're still safe.I might get playing by the end of January but will have to wait and see.
I am going to Scotscraig this weekend with Gordon and I have booked a buggy to drive round and watch the rest of you hack up the course.

See you all there

Prize Winners at Leven

1ST PLACE STEVIE

2ND PLACE GERRY
3RD PLACE PAUL


Spoon Boy Leven 2010


FROM CHAMP TO CHUMP

Davy Graham is the proud holder of the spoon for the next fortnight. Last years overall winner was clearly shocked at receiving this award as you can see in the above photo. Davy must now rediscover the steady game he had last winter or he could go from overall Winter Champion to Winter Donkey (currently held by Jamie Carroll). It is maybe to early in the tour for a answer to that one but with a few hard matches before the Xmas break it's good to get some points in the bag.

Leven Links


RESULTS FROM LEVEN

Round 2 of our winter league was again held in great conditions with lots of sunshine and very little wind. It was possibly the best day for the last 2 weeks and either side of Sunday the weather has been horrendous. I wonder what the scores would have been if we were out on the Links today playing.

We had 24 players at this round and the scores were close at both ends of the scale.

In first place was Stevie "I will never win he spoon" Paul with a solid 36 points . He was followed by Gerry Cullen also on 36 points but Gerry was less 2 for sweep purposes only due to his win at Lundin 2 weeks ago giving him 34 points. In 3rd place we had 4 players on 33 points Peter Ritchie, Scott Kennedy, Michael Drummond and Paul James. Paul and Peter both had the same back 9 but Paul had a better last 3 holes total and claimed 3rd place.

Nearest the pin at the 5th was Alex Smart and at the 15th Ian Baird.

At the rear of the field we had 3 players on 24 points.

David Graham - back 9 total 13
Michael Kennaway- back 9 total 14
Bruce Finney-back 9 total 15

So the winner of the Wooden Spoon was our defending Winter Champion David Graham. Currently Davy is not the golfer he was last winter and will soon have to find the game he had last year or his defence could be over before the New Year. Could he go from Champ to Chump in 1 season - time will tell.

Other facts from Sunday

Murray Greig and Michael Kennaway set a new Tour record by losing their match 9-8.
Their opponents were Peter Ritchie and Scott Kennedy and that is a record that will be hard to beat.

Big Neil Keir got a par at the 18th which is one of the hardest finishing holes in Scotland - a great achievement by someone with a handicap of 22.
I don't think anyone else managed to get a par on that hole so well done Neil.

Gerry Cullen lost all his winnings and more to a side bet with his wee brother that Jim would retain the spoon from Lundin. Jim survived comfortably and Gerry handed over the cash in front of us all.

I was given a bottle of whiskey by the Captain of Leven and I will keep it for a prize at the end of the season. A nice gesture from the club and Leven remains one of the best deals of the winter. Food and service was very good.

Things can change very quickly as it is your best 5 rounds from a possible 9/10.

Just a small point from Sunday. We all should be playing preferred lies at this time of year. So from now on all courses we play that is our winter rule.

I now have names for the following rounds.

Elie 30th January 28 names FULL

Dundonald is on the 16th of January and I will take names for it at Scotscraig. No deposit is required for Dundonald but I will need £10 for Gullane No2 at the end of February.

LUNDIN LINKS SPOON BOY 2010


Photo above shows Jim getting loaded up with a box of balls for his assault on the course. After 9 holes and with 13 points to his name he was heard utter the now famous words " thank fuck I have 13 points I can hear the cutlery draw closing happy days".
Unfortunately for Jim things went tits up on the back 9. He returned to the club after 18 holes with a empty cardboard box with no balls left and 22 points to his name. Sadly for Jim this put him in pole position to be awarded the infamous spoon.
Out on the course big Neil was cruising along and reached the turn with a fantastic 20 points. Any thoughts of spoons must have been miles from entering his mind but as he started back his golf game disappeared into the North Sea and Neil was collapsing big time. Some how he managed to top up his front 9 total by only 4 points to just stay ahead of Jim in the race for the spoon.
While the rest of us sat in the warmth of the clubhouse having our soup and sandwiches Jim stood outside in the cold anxiously watching everyone finish asking them what they had shot. When David Stirling and the final game came in Jim to his dismay realised he was stuck at the bottom of the table.
Later on in the clubhouse he was presented with his prize for the day. Congratulations Jim well done.
All good fun.

The Cullens Run Away with the Prizes


LUNDIN LINKS 24TH OCTOBER

The first round of this years Winter Tour has been completed and what a fantastic day we had for golf. This year we played the course earlier than usual and they still had the full course set out with most of the holes playing longer than we have had them the past. Perfect playing conditions made it a great day out and a good start to the winter.

Last year at Ladybank in our final match of the season Gerry Cullen was the proud winner of our wooden spoon for the day. Today at our first match of this season Gerry got off to a flier and claimed first prize overall with a total of 36 points. Gerry must like Lundin Links as last year he also won there with 41 points.

Gerry brought with him the wooden spoon from last winter and he decided to keep it in the family and his younger brother Jim rose to the occasion and was the first winner of the spoon this winter with a grand total of 22 points.

This was clearly a good day at the office for the Cullen boys. They are never content winning just one prize.

In second place was one of last years most consistent players Ian Baird with 34 points. He was followed closely by Slim Jim Stirling on 33 points which was the same score as Paul James and Hutch but Jim had a very good last 3 holes to win on count back.

Nearest the pin winners were

Hutch at the 5th
Derek at the 14th

Gerry was cut 2 points Ian and Jim 1 point for sweep purposes only in the remaining matches.

Other notable performances were as follows

Neil Keir 20 points on the front 9 and a incredible 4 on the back 9 to miss the spoon by 2 points !!!!!!

Brian Newell 6 points on the front 9 and 18 on back 9 saved his bacon.

Last years champion Davy Graham with only 29 points is still to hit form and can't be discounted at this early stage.

David Stirling with 32 points had a good steady round and was pleased with his total.

So Gents first game done and dusted and we now move onto Leven Links in a fortnight. As I said today tee off for Leven is 10.00 am. Total cost for golf and a 2 course meal afterwards is £25 less your £10.00 deposit paid today.

Ladybank Golf Club 27th March

£38.00 golf and bacon roll and cofee then 2 course meal

Other course to be confirmed later is Gullane No2 for 27th February

I am also thinking about having a round at Lenzie Golf Club either on the Sunday the 12th /19th of December followed by a Christmas Lunch in the clubhouse. Cost for the lunch only would be £12-£15 if you wanted to stay for it.First tee time maybe about 10.00am. We can discuss this on Sunday.

The scores can also count towards the league if you wanted to use that score as one of your 5. If you manage to play all the above rounds and include the round at Lenzie that would be 10 rounds with your best 5 scores to count. The chances of us getting 10 rounds in is very slim with the bleak Scottish winter. So it's good to have a few extra up our sleeves.

New Handicap Rules 2010/11

New Handicap Reductions
This year we have decided that if you win money in the sweep then your handicap will be reduced accordingly. The maximum reduction for each round will be as detailed below.

Handicap 0-5 max reduction 1 shot
Handicap 6-12 max reduction 2 shots
Handicap 13-20 max reduction 3 shots
Handicap 21-28 max reduction 4 shots

Everyone will start the season with their national handicap as of the 24th of October 2010.

If you win a round then the amount of reduction will depend how many points you are above par for that day (36 points).

If you win with a score less than par you will still get cut depending on the rest of the scores in that round.

The rule for receiving the spoon are simple. There is only 1 rule - he who fucks up their score the most is the winner it's that simple.

Hope it's not to complicated.

Lundin Links
First tee time is 10.52 am next Sunday the 24th October.

Meet at Lenzie Golf Club for leaving there at 8.45 am sharp.

The ''Real'' Winner of the Spoon ?????????


Gents I have been put under pressure by a lot of last weeks players to declare Stevie McPherson the winner of the spoon. They are saying that it is unfair to award the spoon to a 77 year old man and that he be reinstated as the spoon man.

Unfortunately rules are rules and once you tee off on the first you become eligible to pick up this much desired prize.

Nevertheless in order to appease the bears I am including a picture of the Big Man and the title of the Nearly Spoon Man.

If you want to comment on this decision please feel free to use the comments link at the end of this post.

We now have 28 names for Lundin Links and a reserve list.
