Different venue, same gags

Dear comrades
Just a short note to let you know my new golf career has commenced with a mighty victory against some of the local lads at the Grange. Played in the last group on Saturday 1.13 - finished in the dark. First tee introductions were brief and concluded with 'right, well we normally play skins, 50c each first 6, $1 next 6, then $2 for the rest, sandies, ferretts, ntp on all par 3s, 2 long drive holes and $5 for man of the match. You in or not?' 'Agh, well, ahem, sure, yes, oh yes, we do something similar at the 'pilly...' all the while wondering how much cash i had in my wallet. I have no idea how all the calculations worked but was looking a distant last place until a long drive win on 15 followed by a $40 5-footer on 16. You beauty! Was interested in the universality of golfers comments at young ladies who drive the drinks cart around the course. In addition to the usual 'When are the committee going to make topless drinks girls compulsory? to 'Jeez, the hole location looks promising over there' as she neared to 'Do you have anything hot for sale in the front there, luv?'. Just like being at the 'pilly really.

Congratulations Chief, great news on the plate and baby. Bad luck Bellringer.

BTW, i am in Vegas from next Thursay, 17th i think, flying back to SA on the Sunday morning. Let me know if anyone keen for a tonk on Friday arvo or maybe Saturday in the comp. Dont have wheels. Will also be shifting from ozemail to bigpond, hopefully on Friday - cant get broadband at the new address due to some Telstra quirk - will keep you posted on new email address
Lord
