REPORT ON EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING held over coffee, Sunday 29 January 2012

 

An excited crowd of 9 players gathered at The Royal on Sunday full of expectancy over the outrageous announcement by TD PT who declared himself the winner of a Major, pocketed the balls which he had won, largely from himself, and then revealed that according to his own rule, announced retrospectively, he would not lose a shot!!!!

 

What was the more astonishing? A Major with only 2 participants,  the conduct of the TD in trying to welch out of the lost shot or the fact that those who had failed to appear on the day would have the audacity to pass comment?!?

 

Mr Butler, not averse to creating a set of rules to benefit himself you may recall, was of the opinion that the Major should be re-played to-day. Mr Hillyard ( always short of an opinion ) declared that if Mr Butler had appeared on the day, instead of spoiling his wife by playing at Avondale, he could have voiced his opinion in a forum which was relevant. Mr Waddington couldn't see why anyone would be surprised at any variation of the handicap system.

 

The groups were duly chosen with Mr Thornton continuing to be very cagey about his playing handicap on the day and Mr B muttering about an official enquiry if Thornto wins!! As it happens, there was no need for any such enquiry with Thornto playing so badly that he earned the Steve Irwin with the paltry score of 9!!!

 

At coffee it was concluded that Thornto must lose a shot and it was furthermore concluded that "IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT YOU THINK PETER, LOWNDESY WILL DEAL WITH YOUR HANDICAP REGARDLESS OF ANY DISCUSSION!!!! "
