MILFORD MAUREENA

A grand day for December greeted 23 keen golfers at the picturesque Milford Haven course for Kilgetty Society's Christmas Bash sponsored by Wisebuys Groceries, The Nash Farm Shop, and J. Perrott Esq.

There were five groups of three, namely Steve Gizmo Jones, Roger Analyst Handcock and Roger Doombar Woodward; Barry Chippy Wood, Keith Director Leverton and Tom Tiger Woods; Martin FCUK Davies, Mike Maureen Allen and Trevor Santa Lewis; Shaun Chatterbox Taylor, John The Book Williams and Anthony Wiseguy Ryan; Dave Boy Green Kelvin Blinds Boughey and Martin Trucker Evans. Two four balls went off the 17th - Simon Swan Davies, Peter Bandit Hughes, Stuart DelBoy Evans and Graham Victor Longster; and Darrell Smoothie Jones, John Pashmina Perrott, Wynne Andycapp Richards and John Magneto Richards.

After a hearty Christmas meal Gizmo began the presentations in a gaudy reindeer jumper. Two new members had a warm welcome, Mike Maureen Allen and Martin Trucker Evans. There were also thanks for the sponsors - a fantastic hamper was donated by Wisebuys Groceries, of Narberth and Pembroke. Nash Farm Shop donated a fresh 6kg turkey, and John Perrott donated a litre bottle of whisky. Gizmo also thanked the new committee members for their hard work over the past nine months, and in particular Chippy Wood for dealing with the handicapping, now the task of Wynne Richards.

The raffle was bigger than usual, Milford Golf Club gave a free fourball, and there was brandy, whisky and wine, also the infamous golf voodoo kit, won by Chippy, so don't upset him. All the whisky was won by Dave Boy Green, the Boy became a Man!

The results of the day were: In first place with 35 points, Mike Maureen Allen, who will henceforth be remembered as Milford Maureena; second with a better back nine on 33 points was Stuart Del Boy Evans, and third Dave Boy Green.

Team winners were Martin FCUK Davies, Trevor Santa Lewis and Mike Maureen Allen. Nearest the Pin was Roger Analyst Handcock. Longest drive went to Simon Swan Davies. 20-plus handicap winner was Keith Director Leverton. The Wooden Spoon, decided on the worst back nine, went to Shaun Chatterbox Taylor. There were four players with 2s Maureen, Santa, Gizmo and Chatterbox. Well played all.

The next fixture is January 8 at South Pembs GC, 10.30 tee-off. See http://www.kilgettygolf.co.uk">www.kilgettygolf.co.uk for more information. New members welcome.
