Warley Park Seniors Section
Ash's Days Out
2021 : Brentwood GC 22nd December 2021
16 Warley Park Seniors made the short trip to Brentwood Golf Club on a very cold but bright day. Everybody was on time for the excellent bacon rolls and an early morning chat in the clubhouse. ‘Roger the copper’ had supplied the wine for 2 nearest to pin and 3 mini prosecco’s to give out as surprise prizes. Thank you Roger.
The course was a lot less muddy than Warley Park but it was longer and a little more difficult. So no surprise really that the bandits of Warley found it tough going. Only 2 players played to handicap or above, and 6 players made between 30-35.
Congratulations to the winners Dave 40pts, Ash 36pts and Kim35pts b9 21. Dave will be cut four (3 +1 for 40pts), Ash two and Kim one for the next away day they play.
3 players scored birdies on the easy 2nd with Ash piping Robbo and Mike to win nearest to pin. No birdies on the 14th where Mark Woodcock beat Dave Skinner for nearest to pin.
It was decided to give the 3 mini prosecco’s to the 3 lowest scores. They went to Seniors champion!!!! Paul Jackson, 19pts Richard 24pts and Joe 27pts (Dave Cormack 23pts forfeited the prize as he left early and Roger 25pts did not want to win it as he supplied it)
A special thank you to the birthday boys Joe Hardy and Kevin Sandford for buying the drinks. Many happy returns.
I did have a festive story to tell featuring Winsey but he left early so I did not tell it, but hear it is :
On the 6th hole Ash put his 3rd shot onto the icy pond. In trying to retrieve the ball he fell in and his playing partners Joe, Kevin and Winsey all dived in to save him. Unfortunately no one survived the icy waters.
So they all approached the pearly gates of heaven and St Peter says
“in honour of the holy season you must each possess something that symbolises Christmas to get into heaven”
Ash pulls out a lighter from his pocket and flicks it on and says “This represents a candle”
St Peter lets him through
Next in line is Joe who grabs a load of £2 coins out of his pocket and says “They are Xmas tree decorations. “
St Peter lets him through
Next up is Kevin who pulls a bunch of keys out of his pocket and shakes them about and says “They are Jingle Bells.”
St Peter lets him through
Finally its Winsey’s turn and he pulls out a pair of woman’s knickers from his pocket and says
“they are Carols”.
