Fantasy News 2022: No 3
It’s May, occasionally it’s sunny, and sales of lake balls have been boosted by the new 4th and 8th holes. I would be grateful if those with a green line on are returned to me as soon as possible. Our two latest competitions were won by Mr Wayward and sweetie Greg so well done to them. Greg is going to take some catching if he is not to retain the crown, but there are bandits lurking in them there hills so it is not a fait accompli. Meanwhile our captain seems to have bucked the ‘you never win in your captaincy year’ trend. His latest accomplishment was to partner captain Carol at the ladies and seniors, mark his own card, and score 51 points. He then followed that up with a short but witty speech in which not even the Vander legs being crossed and uncrossed could not put him off. Furthermore, it is customary to have the gavel and block repaired at the end of each year following mis-treatment by the captain. He reported at lunch he had already broken it so beating the time record for a new captain. On top of that I was talking to him one lunchtime and I mentioned my knee and showed him my scar (I’ve nothing must else to talk about). He promptly rolled up his trousers and said I’ve got two - outdone again. Then I recounted the story to Lady Skinner, who I sat next to at lunch, and she told me he’s got two more on his hip. Far from a robot I think we may have an alien in our midst. Further investigations are planned.

Our Captain caught off guard

After 8 competitions it is Interim prize time so its £10 to Robot (predictable) and £5 to Mr Sandpit (Fantasy bandit too) with all selection bonuses now added in. I’m also pleased to report the postponed Captain’s Putter will now be included - 2 points each if you are on the winning team.
Then there’s our invigilator Flash who told our Jolly Boy’s Outing organiser Ash the Cash off for asking Mr Wayward where his money was on the general App when he thought he could ask him privately. Where did he post it - the general App.
I attended the ladies quiz on Apr 29th organised for the last time by Sarg. I think it’s the fifth last quiz he has done. He does it well but had a round called ‘Sporty Women’ which he quickly apologised for, showing surprising signs of wokeness and not wishing to upset any petals. Having done that he never said a word when he then had a round called Double D (DD) in which one of the answers was Diana Dors. You can’t keep him down. In the main fantasy competition I advise transfers for many teams. Robot is getting away so you others need to ditch those duff players you’ve picked, or stop Cozy and Kim Han Sen going on holiday frequently because they will never score points that way.
PS. Sometimes I come to the club along Ingrave Road. Apparently, it decided to enter the town twinning system on its own and has been twinned with Pothol in Poland.
