Work was only briefly interrupted with a delightful microwaved Marks & Spencers Shepherds Pie, and it was off to Tuesday Night Golf Club XVII where 5 athletes teed-off on the virtual Kapalua Plantation course in Hawaii, which rewarded those who hit the ball straight and long, and decimated those who veered left or right, as it usually ended up in an unplayable area. Conquer blitzed the course, winning his 2nd title in a row with an awesome 37 points, and hitting a 327 yard drive - a new TNGC record. As for me, I came a sorry 5th out of 5 with just 20 points, so will be upping my handicap 2 notches to 29 next time. Redemption came by playing a further 11 holes, this time on the new St. Andrew's course, and going round in 3 under (including handicap).
The evening concluded in the traditional apres-golf venue of The Oarsman tavern in Ringsend, where the Guinness tasted even better than usual if that's possible, and the subject of Conquer's encycolpaedic knowledge on this occasion was all WWE Intercontinental title-holders of the 1990's.
