Aldwickbury Park Early Birds

We dodged the weather again this week, as I write this brief report the sun has gone away and it's looking very much the rain is coming. A pleasant morning with moderate breeze made for another excellent day on the golf course.  Firstly I'd like to apologise for the mix-up with the scoring this morning. I honestly woke up and had a mare, with the fat finger issue on the booking AND forgetting to update the score sheets with the correct golfers. Anyway, it didn't impact my golf, more of that later. The bridesmaid posted the pic below on the WhatsApp this morning demonstrating how to use your driver as a spade! There were complaints from golfers following that they lost their balls down the hole that Steve left behind on the tee box. I'm assuming you didn't get past the ladies tee SR? Birdies today for yours truly (14) Steve Reynolds (8 and 16) Richard Hyne (6) Coenraad Fourie (1) Roger Gibbs (3) Roger Small (3) and Pete Laurence (3) Well done all! Summer league today

In anticipation of rain and thunder Tony thought he'd turn up sporting a new look today, known in the trade as "Hammer-Tone" this new look has really taken off with the St Albans East-Side Massive. Tony kindly posed for me this morning before stepping out, I didn't realise he'd brought a friend! When asked about Tony's new look, popular fashion consultant Gok Wan confirmed that Tony was rocking it!

A 5 shot deduction for use of a buggy was discussed but Tony threw in the towel instead.  Welcome to Stephen Brewerton today who joined us for the first time. Stephen posted a solid 91 gross today and scored 28 points on his provisional 12 handicap.  The scoring was

When we last swindled, England were making there way through the group stages of the Euros and none of us would've imagined that the next swindle would be the eve of an England vs Italy final at Wembley! Well today it is the eve of that final and the omens are good with lady luck shining down on the group today and keeping the rain away. Before we get to the scoring etc. a request from DS to stop leaving the ball lifter thingies up when you leave the green. Apparently two groups were accused of doing this so best the rest of us learn from their error and make sure they are down before you leave the green. This hopefully only applies for the next 9 days and in any case only applies to Andy Simpkin!!! Martin Lythgoe was guilty by association I believe.  Perfect conditions for golf today with hardly any wind and some good scoring. Average stableford of 30.15 and average gross down at 92.54.  Birdies today were surprisingly scarce. Steve Reynolds (17) and Duncan Miller (5) Our group wa
