Weymouth Golf day



The April outing was held at Weymouth Golf Club on the 27th. I think most of us looked forward to this event with some trepidation at the thought of getting soaking wet as the weather had been horrific. With such along period of dry weather the rain was something we were not really used to.
We awoke on the day to a very grey sky and some showers. When we arrived at Weymouth the skies had cleared and there was even some sunny outbreaks.



As we gathered in 
the bar for our Coffee and Bacon Rolls we were informed that our tee time was 1200 and not 1230 as we had originally been told. Enter panic as some of our members renowned for not turning up until just before the tee time would probably not make it. After consulting with the pro we found out that we had been allocated tee times from 1200 to 1.00, a bit excessive for the 10 of us.
Anyway on top the golf itself. the course was in great condition and judging by the numbers of green keeping staff we saw heading for the kitchen for their lunch so it should be. Weymouth is quite a forgiving course in so much as you can usually find your ball if it is hit a bit offline. Playing with Trick, Brian and Jeff we were entertained with Trick trying to find out the best price of stone paving from Brian. When this discussion was interupted with the need to play a golf shot Brian managed to play a superb shot to win the Nearest the Pin competition. Jeff was also very near and this is the first time ever that I have seen a tape measure being used to see who was nearest. The overall competition for the day was Mike Powell, one of the newly formed Botany Baye Bandits. As usual I can't remember who won the other prizes except Russel who won the 2's with what I have been told was a fluky shot through the rough. 
All in all another great day with great company on a good course
Next month is at Rushmore and we hope to get another good turnout, but beware that the Dreaded Dexter Bree has threatened to play.
