Fantasy League 2018 - Newsletter 13
The Fantasy Season is approaching its finale and there is also a bit of golf going on with three more competitions to report.
The Millennium Jug was sweet success for Bon Bon Burnham and forgotten superstar Capability Brown whilst the newly introduced Seniors Mulligan went to mystery golfer Dave Handley who the Fantasy League has, as yet, failed to make contact with. Well done to him on an excellent score of 44 and to second place Pea Shooter who recovered from the ignominy of nul point in the GOY to win a small prize and launch the campaign for Mulligans in next year’s GOY.

It was also noted that Austerity Ash has struck as in the old days we used to get 5 Mulligans and now it is only 3. Although not counting for Fantasy points (pity) the Senior Captains 9 hole competition and lunch took place on October 19th and produced a trophy for Wee Winesey, whilst I played with ‘The Stentsons’ Dolly Appleby and Robot Robson. This was actually phrase coined by Captain Elect Kim Han Sen who also played with them and reported it as a really boring round with talk all about hearts, physio, diet, and exercise but never a mention of hips.

It was on that day that I joined an elite group of seniors whose trolleys need therapy as mine bounded from the middle of Old Slippery down the hill and over the green to finish in the ditch by Locke’s Spinney. In fact it was all Dolly’s fault as I was searching for his ball fifty yards from the fairway. I have entered my trolley for the Olympic 200m where I will join Farquhar who has entered his for the 100m freestyle swimming. Other club members are Fairbanks Garvey whose trolley will appear in scrapheap challenge fighting a BMW and new entrant Brian Revel Wilkins whose trolley did a quick, quick, from the 2nd to the 3rd whilst Brian did a slow, slow chasing it. |
In the Fantasy League Tony D continues to lead but I am getting a few transfers in as the scrap for second place hots up. I would suggest to those who are in the scrap that they should sign Fairbanks trolley.
Footnote: I walked into a cloud of smoke at the club house entrance a few weeks ago and then saw Inspector Regan behind it. What are you doing I enquired. Smoking a banana was the answer. If he ever wants to join the Seniors he will fit in very well.
