Captain's Match Report

Due to our Captain, Andy Webb, swapping golf shoes for budgie smugglers somewhere under the Malaysian sun, I was once again handed the captaincy reins for our annual Summer Bowl outing to Sittingbourne.

After a couple of late withdrawals and the inevitable reshuffling of the groups (which caused only minor panic and no lasting emotional damage), the day got underway with the traditional bacon rolls, tea and coffee, before the monthly Bag of Shame made its eagerly anticipated appearance. As always, some members celebrated their draw while others immediately began wondering what they'd done to deserve it.

I had the pleasure of playing alongside Bill Bevon, Tony Jacobs and Stirling Campbell. As ever, the banter comfortably outperformed the golf, although Tony kindly continued his season-long commitment to providing entertainment for the rest of us whenever possible. Thanks for taking one for the team, Tony!

The course itself was presented in excellent condition. The greens were superb, the fairways were nicely baked by the recent weather, and despite the odd wayward shot (purely strategic, of course), everyone seemed to enjoy the challenge.

After the golf we returned to the clubhouse for a hearty meal of Ham, Egg, Chips, Salad, Roll and Butter. Paul Damper was particularly delighted to discover there was no surcharge for the extra Roll and Butter, which may well have been the highlight of his day.

Congratulations to all our prize winners, and especially to Peter Blouet, who not only claimed Division 3 but also walked away as the overall Summer Bowl Champion. Very well played, Peter.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it another enjoyable day full of laughs, good company and the occasional decent golf shot.

I look forward to seeing you all at Nizels on Friday 14th August for the Chairman's Trophy, where no doubt we'll all be claiming our swing has finally "clicked."

Best wishes to you all,

Mike Fairbrass
