The wind just keeps blowing. Another day on the course, and another day that we have to battle the wind.
We have had to delay playing our FOURSOME CHAMPIONSHIP until the New Year as we can’t play a Shotgun start until after December 1, and our Christmas Party day has been moved back one week to 11th of December.
Don’t forget you need to show proof that you are double Jabed when you turn up to play golf from Monday.

Joke of the day
His wife was a new and nervous player, but Jim persuaded her to play against a new customer of his and his wife. “After all”, he explained, “It will be a two-ball Foursome. I’ll drive and by the time you have to hit the ball, the client and his spouse will be elsewhere on the fairway and not watching you”. It was agreed and the game started as Jim had said it would. He hit off with a fine drive, right down the fairway about 320yds, leaving only five yards to the green. ONE! Jim handed his wife an iron and told her to aim for the green, she sliced it with vigor, into the deep rough at the side of the fairway. TWO! His shot from the rough was magnificent, and it landed the ball back on the fairway, this time about half a yard from the green. THREE! She whacked it right over the green and into the sandtrap on the other side. FOUR! He was in brilliant form, and he clipped it neatly from the sand onto the green about a foot from the hole. FIVE! His wife stroked a mighty putt that rolled off the green and into another sandtrap. SIX! Jim’s recovery landed three inches from the hole. SEVEN! Her putt stopped at the greens edge. EIGHT! His putt of 20 feet went straight in . NINE! The customer and his wife holed out with four. Jim’s reaction was nothing to dramatic. He merely tore up his scorecard and ate it, broke three clubs and bent the remainder, jumped up and down on his golf cart and finally, shaking his fist at his wife, as he strode off to the clubhouse. His wife emerged from the sandtrap from where she watched the performance. “I don’t know what he so mad about”, she said. “After all, he had five shots, and I only had Four!”
Hit em long and hit em straight
