The RMF Clubhouse

Jolly good golfing expedition yesterday, what. It felt a little odd, mind, not once having to dive into the woods to escape torrential rain. The highlights:

  • Abs - Had me on the floor in laughter when a series of tee-offs flew off at right angles straight into neighbouring bushes. Far and away the best comedic performance to date. With a little assistance from our good friend, 'Mr Mulligan', Abs pulls his handicap down a few decimal points and gets ever closer to breaking his average of 5 shots per hole.
  • Levi - Using the trusty P-wedge at every opportunity, all previous records are smashed with a truly stunning show of form. A new personal best of 43 beats the previous PB by a full ten strokes! And all of this is achieved with a unique putting styles that continues to amaze on-lookers; the thinking seems to be the closer the ball is to the hole, the greater is the certainty of it going in, so it can be struck that much harder!
  • Priyesh (aka 'The Dedicated') - Absent from the course yesterday, but we could have found him on the local driving range (twice that day!), getting secret tips from a 4-handicapper. It's like Rocky when he goes to the Russian mountains to do training!
  • Me - After a horrible first round, I decided the Nike ball that I had found and was using had been cursed by it's previous owner I decided to ditch this sphere of evil, replacing it with my trusty (cheap) Donnay ball that had served me in recent weeks. At that instant my luck changed and I produced a nice round of 31. A couple of decent rounds bring me that little bit closer to breaking the 4-shot-per-hole average.
Here is the updated scorecard:

Nice to see the score card going strong.. well about this Abs incident I would like to put my name well ahead in the hall of shame. Under the fence missing the young couple on the road...

Still on the quest to find a cheap course out in HK. Apparently will need to travel to China to find something within budget.

Good stuff... our man in Hong Kong is keeping tabs on the competition!

The fence shot was the best belly laugh but Abs' masterpiece was reminiscent of the very best work of Buster Keaton, the silent comedy genius.

...can't believe your quest is still going ... China is a little far to go to hit some balls!
