A glorious day at the superb Leatherhead club welcomed the combatants for the 2013 Ryder Cup. All Eng-ger-land needed was a draw to retain

the prestigious trophy and with the score at ROW 4 – Eng-ger-land 3, it was down to the final pairing, Shanghai Sam (Dunkly) and The Prez. However, it was not to be Eng-ger-lands

day as Shanghai Sam ‘stir fried’ Frank to make it ROW 5 – Eng-ger-land 3. The Prez took the full brunt of his colleagues fury and a lot of finger pointing went on. J

 

As the ROW team left the car park, the air was filled with celebration -  Waltsing Matilda, Danny Boy, Flower of Scotland, Bread of Heaven, Hava Nagila and the chopsticks (does anybody know any chinese tunes!) could be heard in leafy Surrey. A great day out, enjoyed by all, even the beleaguered Prez!

Despite some intermittent rain, Jenny and Neil managed excellent scores (32 and 25 respectively - yes, 25!) and four birdies between them.

Neil made it a clean sweep with his Nearest-the-Pin despite claims of very painful tendonitis.

Boots the Chemists are now preparing to sponsor him (see below).

Should Neil become the first Titans professional

A small, but elite, band of Titans graced the wonderful Milford Golf Club which benefitted from surprisingly sunny weather. The greens were fast and the fairways even faster but neither were are fast as James McIntyre who raced away from the pack and won with 44pts.

He even shot a 6 on the 18th after cleaving the ball out of a green side bunker out of play and then decided to drop back into the bunker. Very confident in the sandy stuff. And obviously a very useful player. Congrats also to Matt Dawes with a great 39pts.

Slow play may have plagued the Titans this year but will the Prez's new white steed be the answer?

I see he is not taking any chances. That helmet will still protect him from errant Titan drives. But surely the black cricket box between his legs is going a bit too far.

Man up Prez!

THE PREZ and Hely both enjoyed their rounds in warm conditions this morning. Little wind gave ample opportunity for birdies and their were 8 in total - Frank helping himself to two (1st & 8th). Both had Best Gross for the day (31 and 36) alongside Jenny Paxman, also with a Gross 36.
