And another one bites the dust | Saturday 05/10/24

Feel good Ombersley saw this years final day and although it was all set up for a showdown with half a dozen or so players in with a chance of winning something, it transpired that James Field slammed the door shut on us all winning the Order of Merit at a canter and Jimmy Harrison found yet another way of clutching Premier league defeat from the jaws of victory. #nimrod

I also forgot to mention last time around that Jimmy said he would have won at Perton but he took his jumper off too late. No, I don't get that either, what I do know is that he needs to start taking some responsibility for his failings and that if he was born 100 years ago the finest surgeons in the land would have taken turns examining him in the hope of understanding mental illness better.

The winner on the day, again, was another of the super bros (TM) with Paul O pipping James by a shot (again). Well played again! On the upside his handicap actually went down this week......

Another season ends the way it started with Captain Sears playing a truly awful tee shot on the 1st, although, in all honestly, he did that on 11 of the 12 fixtures played. You always know where you stand with Pedro. In fairness to him, being captain can wear you down and he has done it for the last 2 years.

Seriously though El Captaino has done a great job this year herding and keeping us cats in order, ably assisted by his sexy sidekick Paul Read. Well done both.

Dave Wrafter has also done a sterling job both in the sorting and booking of the courses that we play. And I bet you didn't know that he's gotta sign contracts with some of them? He's like the Donald Trump of the society but with less hair, and Trumps prolly better at golf if we're being honest.

Last but definately not least is Shaun Hooper keeping our books in order. This is made harder considering most of the time he's having to decipher the numbers coming out of Dave Wrafter's mouth. Tree, tree, tree and tree.

Echoing what Dave and Pete said earlier if we could all pay next years subs (£30) at our earliest to allow for Dave to book up the final 4 fixtures and for Shaun to understand what Dave's telling him.

And a quick thank you from me, the society is nothing without it's members and you're a top bunch of blokes. Long may this continue.

Take it easy chaps and I'll see you in the cold weather :)

To me, to you, to me. | Saturday 28/09/24

Considering the weeks weather Perton was in great condition, so nice one Dave for sorting that out.

And in a mirror result of the last fixture I pipped my big bro by a single point completely an O'Mahony hatrick which, judging from the post match comments, has gone down a storm. Wayne and Lee have been trying it for years but I've made those comments before so I'll resist the urge to insult those pair of gimps again. Oh, hang on...

So, we move to the finals day with a few questions yet to be answered. Mainly, can Jim hold off James for the Prem title? Can James hold off his persuers to clinch the Captains bowl? Is James a bit of a nimrod? Actually that last one isn't a question.

In other news, it turns out that Jimbo is part Pakistani and part Turk but we know that regardless of heritage, he's all twat.

I believe that Pete/Dave are gonna let us know what the price is gonna for Ombersley so, keep a look out for that notification.

Love and peace folks and cya Saturday.

He kept right on | Monday 16/09/24

So, for the all the bluster, bravado and general yobbishness it turns out that James 'Flew' Field is all just mouth (not that it was in doubt but, nothing beats confirmation). When push came to shove his arse completely fell out and he got absolutely mullered by a true gentleman and superior golfer in Super John Hodges. Well played sir, and as an added bonus you beat Wayne in the semis which is the definition of downing 2 gimps with one ball. Top man.

Onto Handsworth, and as previously explained, The brother's grim took 1st and 2nd with my good self pipping Paul by a point. Well played us I say, new world order etc etc 

So, with just a couple of fixtures left. Let's have an update.

It's looking like Jim Harrison is gonna win the prem with his closest challenger being "no bottle" James. Done deal. Robin and Paul Read looking odds on for the drop though.

In the Champ Johnny and I are in a shootout for top spot but it's any 2 of 4 that could be going the other way.

And league 1 looks like a 3 way tussle though with Stu, Paul O and Mick H separated by just 3 points. Nice.

Anyway we're off to Lee's favourite course next, cya at Perton.

Domination | Monday 12/08/24

There have been attempts made in past, firstly from the Roger's brothers which sorta worked for a while until Wayne actually found his natural level (poor) and, let's be honest, Lee's always been a loose cannon. And its difficult to form a bond when your bro is constantly rocking up in gear that not even a Scotsman would wear on a stag weekend in Magaluf. The dangerous brothers of Wrafter and James came next but that was always a doomed experiment but they're even worse than the Rogers pairing, coupled with the fact that they're alcoholics.

Now you've all met the real deal so, prepare yourself for a period of domination the like of which hasn't been witnessed since Wayne paid £500 for the Madame Helga experience. I almost feel sorry for you. Nearly, but not quite.

Anyway, super Paul O'Mahony (feel the love) smashed the shite outta the lot of you (including me) racking up a quite frankly stupid 43 points around the 'hidden gem' (quote from the pro) of Ardencote. Nice.

In matches Wayne beat Mick Henn 3 & 2 and Mr 1st loser beat defending champion Dan 4 & 3. All cards present and correct, which is something of a miracle.

And I know you all wanted abuse but I only dish that out to people I don't like, put simply that's all of you except Paul. There obviously is a special place in my mental abuse drawer reserved for Wayne and Jim but that's just standard.

Anyways enjoy the weekend away chaps.

Laters tatas,
Craig

Shameful | Tuesday 30/07/24

I couldn't do it, I tried really hard, even to the point of thinking about employing the services of a professional forger to alter Jim's card but alas we all just have to take it on the chin that somehow between us all we let Jim win. Think we should all take a moment to let that sink in. Jim won. On countback, which somehow makes it even more galling.

I'm not going to say well played as it simply hurts too much.

In other news the Welcombe was in tip top condition and there was no excuses for playing like a mutant. Although I did try and think of new ones all the way round. And then Jim won.

One card wrong from the day with John scoring 33 not 32 (which is fantastic as the deduction keeps him 1 point behind me in the league).

Also I didn't do a write up from Bransford either, as that was painful too with TC (I let the more creative of you work out what those letters stand for) Dan Peach playing some top quality stuff. It was a pleasure to watch, well it would have been if it wasn't Dan doing the playing.

And I know we have a 'laugh' about it but can I please ask if you've gone rogue and decided not to use the marked columns on the cards could you please lemme know what column contains what values? It's like a window into the minds of the criminally insane.

Anyway love and peace chaps (although not to Jim. Or Dan).

Cya,
