Seniors Fantasy Golf News 2023 : No 2
The competition has started; Bellyflop's computer is whirring; eternal captain O Steve is waiting in the wings to audit the results, and I’m in hiding having selected several teams for the real seniors with no success so far.
O’Neill,Hansen, and Jackson triumphed in the Texas Scramble, but nobody got all three in a team as Jackson was in from the dark side so nobody picked him. (For £1 you can transfer him in if you want to).
Then Tringham, Paton, Killington, and Powell were victorious in the team Stableford with a card a very benign Orson Wells checked and accepted even though is was barely intelligible. However they will be asked to attend our basic arithmetic class led by our own Flash 2+ 3 is 5. 2 x 3 isn’t.
Speaking of Flash. He told me he had to give Henry V a red card for continually being late to answer his swindle requests. I explained he is actually the late Henry V, been gone since 1422 so what did he expect. I then challenged Henry’s position as diving champion when I thought Ash was hitting a ball in my direction, ducked, and fell out my buggy. No water though so Henry remains king. Speaking of water I saw Patent Ken (can’t be more than one of them) looking for his ball in the ditch on the 10th last week. Nothing unusual there I thought until I found out he was playing the 11th.
I’ve now discovered (late to the party) this Badger Chappie is actually another Mickey Pearce so we lost Trigger, but got two Fools and Horses in return. Why can’t he be Denzil or Boycie or Raquel if he prefers.
On a rainy day in February there were no buggies so ended up with Joe ‘kiss me’ Hardy and Happy Bob. After 3 coffees got talking about haircuts. Joe surprisingly had one the previous week. Which day we asked ‘interestedly! ‘. Oh it was Thursday he said, have one every three months. I know ‘cos that’s the day I look at WhatsApp.
In a bout of reminiscing whilst sitting at home with Covid I was writing about my childhood experiences. We used to go to the fair once a year. For 6d you could visit the tattooed lady. Life has moved on so now you can save your money - go to South Ockendon - you can see hundreds of them there and all for free.
In the last result to report Belly stormed home in the wind to win the Mulligan comfortably showing stability in windy conditions matters.
PS. May need a new club captain if Wayne gets called up to Wales Rugby team.
PPS. Beware of Hot Fingers Hansen. He nicked O Steve’s keys and tried to get into his car. Meanwhile Steve was searching for his keys and wondering why his windows kept opening and closing.
Oh and well done Belly - over 100 entries- nearly but not quite a record.

The current (post mulligan competition) Fantasy League entries and scores are set out below.
Steve has input all selections by hand, and though he is a perfectionist there is a risk he has made some errors. Please let Steve (stevebellybell@icloud.com) know if you think your team is wrong.
