After nearly a years absence and with the weather in our favor for a change we held our 1st event of the year.
This time we were looking to raise some money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance on the behalf of the Costessey Park Captain charity and also the NSPCC for Rob Lines and Rachael Prew who are fundraising like mad for an event they are doing in a few weeks time. Not only did the teams bring prizes in for the raffle but some sterling work was done by Rob and Rachael to pester some of the local shops, hotels, golf courses etc to get some prizes in. Also a big thanks to the SCC team being led by one of the original “Ryder Cup” captains Ken Martin who donated a laptop for the Irish Bingo…Thanks to everyone who bought tickets as we managed to raise £1000 to be split evenly between the EAAA and the NSPCC..Well Done !!
It was good to see so many familiar faces and people who were not only new to the “The DOGS” but also golf, we even had people returning from injury. Not sure what attracted our newbies….was it the chance to learn a new sport, a luvly walk, catch up with old friends..oh no, it was just a day out the office and the drink!…and wasn’t it great to see our Gilliam back hassling us to buy raffle tickets…welcome back we have missed you!
One of the people returning was our friend Hogi. He has been away for two years with injury but he couldn’t wait to get back and enjoy a “Sherry” or two. Now he hasn’t played for two years but somehow he managed to be the best player in the “Three men and a Jock” team and that’s even after this Tee shot…
Yep he didn’t make it passed the ladies Tee, in fact it didn’t make 10 feet, yet he was our best player! We decided it was best he didn’t drop his trousers for the rest of the round, as not many people had their sunglasses with them and Hogi is a true jock and has them good old Scottish white legs!
I’m not sure how Ross does it…I printed off his score before he went round to save him putting them down on the 1st tee…he was peeved that it wasn’t over a 100 points, but celebrating winning the Irish Bingo with a cigar 5 hours before we called the numbers out….
I suppose it was champagne in the coolers too….
I always thought that Tim and Jason were a little harsh on our old mate Ian. Winding him up about his mansion, gardeners, maids, chauffeurs etc but we all seen it first hand now gladders!.
Here you can see Ian directing his butler, making sure that his ball was on a good lie…a very good lie it seems. After this picture was taken they were seeing disappearing into the bushes as Ian needed to relieve himself…Bottle in one hand and a glass in the other, with the butler holding a bag of baby wipes….Whilst I’m here…why oh why was Mike so interested in taking photos of people going to the loo…I have removed all offending pictures due to the worry of court cases.
Now I’m no physicist, but how does Alf do this….he has swung through and the ball is hovering above the tee…Forget David Blaine we have THE Alf Mounter….
And finally…the Dogs is all about getting together and enjoying ourselves…but I believe we may have our first DOGS marriage on the way..Jiff and Craig are looking very friendly, not sure about the two bridesmaids though……Get a room guys!
We are reviewing how the day went and listening to all your comments to see if it is worth carrying on with the DOGS events. So keep your eyes out for future events, we need YOUR support.
