LES CHAFFINCH

A CRIME MOST FOWL

chaffinch

On the 14^th May 2009 in our match with Weston Turville, a Chaffinch was brutally murdered by Les Moore. His drive of the 6^th tee hit the bird flying across the fairway to feed its young. It fell from the sky 20 yards past the ladies tee, dead!

However Les’s ball carried on just past the 200 yard marker and he went on to par the hole. Is this a new record, a par and a birdie on the same hole?

We were pleased he didn’t get an Eagle or an Albatross.

Les will now spend the remainder of his working life in Aylesbury Prison and hopefully be released for the occasional match.

THE GREEN CORNISHMAN

You may have noticed this peculiar bicycle ensemble in the car park on

Seniors mornings, well here is the 1 manpower driving unit preparing for

the return trip to Stewley Central fully laden.

May 2011

Carpe Diem (live for today) with unforgettable golf experiences at our 8^th hole including the water hazard.

Our 8^th hole has recently given three of our senior golfer’s days to remember.

Bruce Finlayson & Alan Ward both registered holes in one at our long par three within a few days of each other early in May.

Our past captain Peter Nightingale also had a day to remember on the 8^th hole in our Seniors’ May Medal Competition. Unfortunately Peter did not complete a hat trick of aces but instead recorded a pond in one when his wind assisted golf trolley trundled into the deep water hazard in front of the tee.

Play was temporarily halted whilst a Dad’s army salvage operation was effected using our rather splendid looking orange life buoy.

Both golfing equipment and life saving apparatus were apparently recovered intact.

Peter had to abandon his round but later weighed in with a bag of 3 lbs 4 ounces of cheering carp.

Reports on the well being of the carp have not been forthcoming.
