Cross Counties Golf Society - Year Book 2014 to 2019

bournemouth

Let me set the seen, we are all practicing our putting and chipping, and being very sensible about it.  Bazzer spots Barth some way from his Electric Golf Cart and decides to turn it on (at a slow pace I must add).  Barth tears off at a fast walk and captures his cart before it enteres the car park and then the A338.  Barth walks staight up to Hughes Major and really loses his shit, Hughes Major being blamed for something is not new in this society and he is already waiting for the next time he is blamed.

Red night at night is not dogs delight

So we are playing in Porty (as XL would say, he being  Tim nice but dim).  I think this was 2015 nut Baz will correct me.  When baz, dog an myself are out in Pria du Luz for a pre CCC weekend beer.  I tell the waiter I can remove a cork from a wine bottle without a cork screw, and will do it for a free bottle of wine.

 Of course he agrees, why you ask? Well he does! So I put the wine bottle base first in my trainer and bash my trainer against the wall… hey presto wine cork comes out of bottle…free wine… Bazzer being bazzer says I can do that and asks for a bottle of red wine.    A bottle appears and bazzer and dear stato follows the same process.  However the waiter has removed the cork and as bazzer hits the wall with the red wine uncorked in his shoe against the wall, it empties it contents all overe Dog.

2017 La Manga, Spain

 

What's AdBlue?

 

First let us clarify a fact, there was one of our group who drives a diesel and therefore we thought we were in safe hands.  This was our dear friend Barth.

Barth, Bazzer and Hughes Major have a sneaky beer and round of golf with Dog in  Praia de Luz.  Next day when driving from Dogs gaff in Praia de Luz to La Manga (where Dog found love) a short journey of 525 miles we coninously see a message on the dash that reads "AdBlue".  Barth says its ok, which myust ne ok as remember Barth drives a diesel.  So we keep driving and somehow, miraculously, we get to La Manga, whereby the car dies outside the apartments reception.  Apparently AdBlue is important for Diesel engines

XL pulls his shots!!

 

So once again we crossed the border to do battle in Wales and do battle we would as Dom would win not only the Cross Counties Cup but also the Matchplay trophy.  However, this year was the year of controversy in the Dilly Memorial Trophy, who threw the dangerously sharp piece of paper at XL and why did XL almost chin Dom?

First the controversy “Si” and XL were playing in the Dilly Memorial Trophy when XL manages to get a half on the final hole.  However, Ewen then informs XL that his first was hot OOB and therefore “Si” won the hole to win 1 up.

Then in the bar for some strange reason we all start throwing pieces of paper (editor I think it was paper) at each other.  Somome then threw a piece of paper at XL, who jumped up and smashed Dom in the chest, lucky XL pulled the punch almost as much as he pulled his OOB shot earlier so no damage was done.  The most surpri”Si”ng thing was that for once Hughes Major was not blamed.

The Irish joy as the beer flowed free. 

 

Its 2019 and we are back in Porty (not sure why as it normally rains for us in Porty).  As usual we had a rather larger one on opening night.  Well Dog an myself had to tee off at 8am, GolfBreaks fucked up the booking (well so Bazzer says), whilst the rest of you tee'd off at midday'ish. 

Well pissed as a fart on the 2nd I only go and get a hole in one.  The Irish guys (who also were playing with the group in front ) where overjoyed, nothing tastes better than free beer.  So apparently I had phoned Vicky not to tell her of my major accomplishment, but to warn her of my bar bill..  Needless to say 4 hours after I opened the bar for my hole in one, you guts rolled in and made that bar bill all the more bigger.  BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. 

Bazzer I aint pissed I can walk on this pavement! 

 

Not Bazzer again I hear you say but yes .  He does not learn his lesson about drinking with Dog and me in Porty.  We have a few beers a nice meal and a lot more beer.  Bazzer says he is not drunk and can walk along the pavement.  Well he failed as he fell off the pavement into the road where dog and me laughed and left him.

 

“Si” won, buggy dead.

 

Giles was paired up with “Si” and the pair of them decided to share a buggy.  All was going swimmingly well when “Si” put his ball in amongst some trees.  Giles being a nice fella and wanting to stay close to “Si” decided to follow “Si” into he trees with the buggy.  However, disaster struck Giles lost control of the buggy and accelerated straight into “Si”.  Lucky it was “Si” who got hit and the buggy hardly dented him.  Giles was of course devastated and to make matters worse the battery died (or was the buggy more damaged than “Si” following the collision), anyway the buggy was left dead on the golf course.
