A good turn out for Bicester with 15 willing starters on the 1st tee. The course was in good nick with watered greens and tee boxes, dry fairways and tricky flag positions. A different front nine to the back which could be seen on the score cards.
Always good to see Glyn out with us and great to see Chris come for a chat afterwards, we all look forward to his return to the great game.
The weather was super again and hot, hot, hot at times in the dips, if you stayed on the fairway.
I played with a 3 ball with Peter Maher and Dan O, Dan couldn’t find any 18” tee’s in the pro shop and struggled off the Tee with his driver. Good banter and light-hearted chat all the way round pursued.
Just to add to Dan’s luck he played a blind shot to the worst place on the hole??? At least he was in the shade . . . . . A few fines were handed out for non-uniform, flash play and worse things , a great week for the charity box.
The nearest the pins on the day were David Fuller and Tony Brock, The two’s kitty was shared between Paul Collins who found it! and Tony Brock. The Captains Orifices’ got a few good victims (hope we all paid). Remember it’s all for Charity!!!!
