February Stableford / Eclectic.
Well the weather certainly improved this week but alas the standard of golf did not.
With a few notable exceptions the players struggled in the cloying conditions.
Even when the mist dispersed and the sun shone most players seemed to struggle!
Bucking that trend were three players who cracked the 40 barrier.
Tied on 40 were the returning Ray Bilton and the ever steady Mike King but way out ahead (AGAIN - sorry) was Bob the Bandit Builder Giles.
Well done chaps!
Bob, Mike and Ray.

c) Ben Hogan?
Answer at the bottom of the page.
Speed of play.
A gentle reminder that you should always try to maintain contact with the playing group in front of you and if you fall more than a hole behind it is courteous to let the next group play through.
New Rules.
We are all aware that new rules are now in play!
Here is a breakdown of the most relevant changes in a slightly better format!
New Rule Books are available in the Clubhouse!
Course Etiquette.
PLEASE replace divots, repair pitchmarks and rake bunkers!
It just makes it fairer for those following on.
Thank you!
Joke!
The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2?
I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds.
Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2.
The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."
The Deans
Thirty Deans celebrated the sections thirteenth birthday with some really good golf.
The ten teams toiled tirelessly to trouble the tallymaster and they succeeded!
Runners up were the team of Ray Bilton (good to see him back), David Mack and Michele Paduano with a total of 173 points but 5 points ahead were Bill Field, Anthony Allen and Allen Thomas.
Well played!
Allen, Bill and Anthony with their trophies.
