Bandito Spikey

slays the field

Despite reports to the contrary (mainly from the Met Office), last Wednesday saw Kilgetty Golf Society play at Haverfordwest Golf Club in dry conditions, albeit a little windy. Nineteen stalwarts rolled up and enjoyed a tight match, both at the top and bottom of the order.

First off were Graham Victor Longster, Martin FCUK Davies, and Stuart DelBoy Evans. FCUK lived up to his name, while, after his Derllys Court score, more was expected from Victor - he was more Shortster than Longster. DelBoy continued to impress after his recent victory in France.

Next were Peter Sombrero Hughes, John Homer Perrott and Barry Chippy Wood. Good scores from the other two, but unfortunately a 'Doh' from Homer.

Third off were Barrie Scales Avery, Shaun Chatterbox Taylor and Dave Boy Green. Barrie scaled (sic) the heights, but the others failed to rise to the occasion.

Fourth were Anthony Wiseguy Ryan, Darrell Smoothie Jones, and Wynne Abacus Richards. Smoothie was driving well and Wiseguy had an eye for the greens. Overall a good performance by the team, just failing to win the team prize.

Last but not least of the threeballs were Mike Bandito (formerly Spikey) Beynon, Steve Gizmo Jones and Gary Mary-Celeste Hopkins. Bandito produced the performance of the day, despite saying he was still learning. He will now have to learn to play with a three shots lower handicap! He was ably supported by Gizmo and Mary-Celeste to deliver an excellent team score.

Last was the fourball - Glyn Semi-Colon Jones, Roger Analyst Handcock, Kelvin Curtains Boughey, and Keith Director Leverton. Kelvin was heard on several occasions to shout "It's curtains!", erroneously as it turned out as he didn't win the wooden spoon. In fact, none of them won anything - try again lads.

So, after an excellent meal and a few soft drinks, Gizmo made the presentations, ably assisted by Homer - well, until he dozed off that is. Semi-Colon and Mary-Celeste were welcomed back into the fold after injury - shoulder and thumb (his wife's), respectively.

The prizes were awarded as follows: 1. Bandito Beynon 37 pts - enjoy the Brandy, Mike; 2. DelBoy Evans 35 - better back nine; 3. Sombrero Hughes 35 - a rising star when the sun comes out; team - Bandito Beynon, Mary-Celeste Hopkins and Gizmo Jones.

Nearest pin 8th - Sombrero Hughes, 14th - Wiseguy Ryan; longest drive - Smoothie Jones; 20-plus handicap - Scales Avery; wooden spoon - Homer Perrott.

There were no twos.

The next meeting will be held at Garnant Park Golf Club on Wednesday, June 12, tee-off 11 am. Anyone wishing to join the society is welcome. No handicap needed. Pay on the day. Contact [email protected]">[email protected] for details.
