A Bad Day at Golf …
As they say, a bad day at golf still beats a good day at the office.
The Scene: The Holden Scramble at Wainuiomata. What a course
The Players: T, P, and DD. P and DD expected T to carry the day.
Team talk at 9, practise at the course 9.30-10 and at the tee at 10.15 for a 10.30 tee. Somehow, we didn’t find out that the start had been put back half an hour but we did wonder why were were the ONLY group who knew when tee off was.
Straight down the middle of the first hole – we should have given up then.
Nothing much went our way. Or you could be less charitable and say we were crap.
My particular highlight (we were playing ambrose) was putting last and missing the same three foot putt T and P had missed and then missing the 9 inch “tap in”.
The saddest part of it all was that after spending 5 hours on the course, we had the option of heading straight back to the 19th for a well deserved drink or playing back along the 18th. So we played the 18th for a second time while the other group scampered back to the clubhouse!
So the Three Sad Amingos tried and failed but we will ride again (if our wives let us).
