After a day of resplendent dossery, 'twas time to amble to Tuesday Night Golf Club, which saw a record 10 athletes tee-off on the virtual Belfry course that proved to be a sterner-than-average test. Despite several recent appalling rounds of
actual golf, I produced sparkling virtuosity to record a score of 34 points and 2nd place, beaten only by new Swedish sensation Fredrik, who scored 38 points off a handicap of 10. Alas not such fine fare for debutant Enda, who came joint 9th with 21 points, but improvement will surely be nigh.
Onwards to the traditional post-TNGC venue of The Oarsman tavern, where heated debate was inevitably the order of the evening. The main motions were "That Deer Park in Howth is a toilet of a course" and "That it is fine to smash someone's windscreen with a golf ball and not report it." (For the record, I took a strong "Against" stance to both.)
Going bats at The Belfry
Contentment : 14.5 / 25
Excitement : 3 / 10
Memorability : 3.5 / 15
Overall Score : 42% (44th out of 151)
