Wellie League 2009 / 2010

 Report for Saturday 13th March

It was good to get back to a ‘normal’ Wellie Saturday with 25 players, full course and cold but fine weather. Some higher grass growing temperatures and rain would be welcome as the ‘top course’ is beginning to look extremely ‘parched’ especially for this time of the year. 

Johnny Johnson on the first, practicing his swing with a driver unusually complete with head cover saw the cover flying through the air and land – in the ditch!  No point reduction for fishing.  

A complaint was instigated by Malcolm Grant, and passed to the WL Rules Committee, regarding possibly ungentlemanly conduct. His claim that Kevin Bradbury deliberately dropped pebbles on his putting line was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. In future video or electronic recording substantiation will be required Malcolm and I’m sure Dave Orritt can supply all the appropriate equipment, for you to carry in your bag. 

Grecian 2000, alias Tim Spencer, manfully participated for the full 18 holes. Tim badly ‘sprained’ his ankle on Thursday. Extreme care was his watch word on the 6th as it was where he had the misfortune to step into a rabbit hole, fall flat on his face, twist his ankle and watch his Trolley continue on its merry way. To be fair he was not expected to turn up, as it was potentially a bad accident. 

Some comment was made about Alan Booth being inappropriately dressed (flying low) on the course. We take this with a pinch of salt as he was the last season’s winner of the Style Award by being immaculate. 

Chris Ashton and Dave Orritt both completed twos on the 9th.
