Such is the enthusiam of the Chicken Trotters at Tenby Golf Club that they fly in from all parts of the world to take part.

Readers may recall that recently, mention was made of former club captain Malcolm Arlott who tavelled all the way from Australia to play.

Last Friday morning, meanwhile, it was the turn of Owen Monaghan to wing his way in from the warm climes of Singapore specially for the occasion. Well alright, he had just returned from a holiday there.

And what a shock to the system it proved for Owen, for having failed to acclimatise to the icy conditions currently being experienced in these parts, he did not exactly blow too hot out on the course.

Far from it, for while amassing just 15 points on his card, he tied with two others for the booby prize. Unfortunately for him, though, those two others had a better score over the back three, so it was Owen who was left at the bottom of the pile.

In contrast, at the other end of the scale, Meurig Jones had obviously well and truly recovered from his New Year adventures on the high seas and, like a 'pirate of the Caribbean', he plundered the loot (all £2 of it) with an impressive total of 27.

And, shiver me timbers, it was his Pembroke Dock shipmate Paul Davies, who also bagged a £1 share of the booty as he trailed Meurig by just a point to earn second place.

Both were assured by Captain Morran that they would receive 50 lashes and be keel-hauled at dawn. Well, spend some time in the sin-bin at least!

In all, 11 played on the day and par for the day was recorded at 21. There were no twos.
