Super Sunday - Jubilee Course, St Andrews

Seven of us braved a chilly day on the challenging Jubillee course in St Andrews for the first medal of the season and the golf was mixed. After an eventful afternoon and evening watching the climax of the 6 Nations at the Prosser cottage in Dairsie, heads were sore and enthusiasm was low on the first tee. A superb sausage/bacon/bowl of muesli definitely help regenerate the aching body parts and the round was away with Bredin and Macfarlane taking on Allingham in the first match and Prosser and Appleson facing Lowe and Fairweather. Both matches were close. Bredin and Macfarlane ganging up to beat Allingham 2&1 whilst Prosser and Appleson inflicted a 1 up defeat on Lowe and Fairweather. Lunch was had, a glass was raised to the memory of Mr Prosser and the scores and handicaps were collated as follows. Appleson 29pts off 16 - down to 15 Fairweather 14 pts off 10 - up to 13 Lowe 22 pts off 18 - up to 19 Prosser 27 pts off 21 - down to 20 Macfarlane 26 pts off 18 - down to 17 Allingham 24 pts off 9 - up to 11 Bredin 19 pts off 18 - up to 19

New Years' 3 club challenge, Castle Park Golf Club, Gifford, 2/1/15

On a cold and windy 2nd of January, 11 brave and hardy souls took to the fairways of Castle Park Golf Course near Gifford in varying states of dress and fancy dress. Arriving in the clubhouse between 9 and 9.30am we were treated to delicious bacon rolls, with tea and coffee. Everyone thought that Mair had taken the prize for best dressed golfer when he arrived in his kilt, turtleneck and waistcoat combo, but he was unceremoniously usurped by Sutherland who arrived on the first tee in a penguin costume!

Closest to the pin was a tricky contest in the wind with nobody making it on to the 7th green, however Lowe was closest to the green and as he had bought the prizes decided to keep that one for himself! 

Longest drive was contested on the 10th hole after many had consumed thier can of Greenalls Gin and Tonic, longest on the day was Zibkowski.

The conditions were some of the worst that any of the Homersapiens had ever played in with 3 snow/hail/sleet storms sweeping across the course throughout the morning. Many photos were taken but none really did justice to the conditions.

We all made it back to the clubhouse for a delicious 3 course lunch of soup, steak pie, lasagna, veggies and cheesecake for dessert, all washed down with more tea and coffee, before the scores were added up and the Quaich awarded. Joint winners this year were McFarlane and Zibkowski with a stableford score of 29 points.

The hospitality of the Castle Park Golf Club was outstanding and I am sure that we will be making a return to their course on the 2nd of January 2016, if not sooner for a mid-summer challenge with a full set of clubs this time (hopefully)!
