The Moanmeister receiving his ‘Tight Fitting’ Warrior Helmet from The VP – is that an emotional tear in his eye or the fact that it was has pushed it down to far and shaved his forehead!


Eleven Titans turned up at a Mediterreanesque Milford to do battle for the honour of receiving the Warrior Helmet and a T$500,000 pay day. The course was in great condition and the greens fast and true (a massive 15 on the Apprentice Moanstintmeter!). The glorious Surrey heat was intense at times and the Ambre Solaire (factor 15) ‘spay on only’ service was offered by 7-iron and greatly accepted in his 4-ball. Nb. There may be an additional charge if 7-iron offers a ‘spray and rub’ service!!


Phil ‘Taffy’ Schick presided over a joyous award ceremony as the Titans replenished their dehydration and salt loss with copious amounts of lager/extra cold Guinness, crisps and a traditional a pot of Earl Grey tea (leaf only, no tea bag of course) for Mr Steady.


Taffy presented a very interesting stat which may sway the IOC to reintroduce the ‘Old Coot’ prize.


Interesting stat: There was a 28 point difference between the winner (Moanmeister (37pts)) and the unfortunate – never to be named Titan who only scored 9 pts (I can confirm, as head Marshall, that there was no evidence that any of the 11 starters wore a blindfold or were restrained by a straightjacket!!!!)


Now, if it wasn’t one of the top 6 below or 7thplaced Don T Locktrumpard (27pts) or 7-Iron & The Lord (20pts), then the unfortunate one must be one of the following two: Taffy or Jamesy who both left rather quickly!!!! I suspect we will never know!!

Bacon Roll
A traditional typical and homely British bacon roll satisfied the Titans before they did battle in the soaring heat of Milford. Unfortunately for several of the Titans the bacon roll ‘had hardened’ and was cold as they arrived late due to the M3(closure)/M25&A3 congestion. However, positive feedback was generally received and a score of 7/10 was awarded. The unheated bun, was coated with a fine dusting of flour and contained three perfectly cooked rashers each with the ‘golden ratio’ of pork meat to fat. A smidgen of light unsalted butter all washed down with a fine blend of coffee left the Apprentice Moanmeister speechless (for a change) and gave the eager Titans the perfect start before the battle for points and the Warrior Helmet commenced. Score 7/10

Shickmeister 'Strutts his Stuff'' at the Hoebridge Hoedown

Prez fondles Phil's helmet
(Special Edition written by Titans Talker understudy - VP)

An amazing 19 Titans amassed at Hoebridge, one of the Titans favourite courses, to do battle for the coveted prize of kneeling before the Prez to accept the 'Warrior Helmet' (Good thing it wasn't to accept the Prez's purple Helmet!!!).

This turnout was possibly one of the biggest turnouts for a non-major tour event in recent Titan history. After a chilly and windy start the sun eventually broke through, the jumpers came off and the Prez's purple army went marching on.

Special mention to '7 iron' for his outstanding Portugesesque trousers (double pleat with large bright checks) and Wardy's unmissable 'pink' tanktop which put them up there with the Strakermans bright red trousers. Maybe the IOC should consider a 'Titans Mens end of season fashion award?

The event however will be remembered in Titan folklore for the 43 points (20 out / 23 back) amassed by Phil ' Taffy' Schickmeister who could do no wrong when all around were moaning about the speed of the greens, the 'wrong type of wind', the sun was too hot! and the bacon roll had a warm side and a cold side, which was quickly noted by the 'Apprentice Moanmeister' who 'kicked off' before a ball had been hit. He has a lot to learn from the original Moanmeister as the apprentices early moan must have put him off his game given recent top 3 tour placings!!.

Prez's Bacon Butty Pronouncement (note that the opinions stated are personal to the Prez and do not represent the views of "the management"!)

It’s always gladdens the presidential heart when a slab of freshly prepared Bacon Rolls arrive in the capable hands of a pretty serving wench.  The good people of Hoebridge prepared 18 of the blighters packed with crisp, salty, and slightly fatty rashers, almost half a pig!

Thank god we’re back to soft flowery white baps rather than those Guardian reading lesbian chewy ciabatta things from Badgemore. However, Charles Lutyens was not entirely impressed with the fact that the lower side of the roll was warm, yet the top side was cold, “it’s just come out of the fridge” he exclaimed.

If that wasn’t enough, there was further derision from the apprentice moan meister that one of the rolls “contained too much butter”?  The proof was in the eating and the purple army scoffed the lot in record time.
