Prez modestly announces that he is the Ultimate Golfer - whilst two female fans look on admiringly.
Forget career grand slams, the new game in town is to bookend the Wall of Fame listings. And Frank achieved this in the first game of the season at Pine Ridge by picking up the Founders Trophy for the second time. He won the inaugural trophy in 2007 and so his name will be first and last on the list. The only other person to achieve this was Duncan Deacon in 2017 when he won the Titans Tour Champion award - he also won the first one in 2007.
There was a large turnout for the season opener and of course the presence of the Weather God meant that we were treated to lots of weather - mostly windy with blue skies but the occasional hailstorm whilst the God was having a nap!

Kinga was the ladies champion
And to spice up the competition the IOC decided to introduce a new exciting element to play. They purchased and deployed a specially trained RoboFox programmed to randomly steal balls lying comfortably on the fairway. Judge Rita fell foul of the fox on the Par 3 14th and the sight of seeing grown men chasing a robotic fox was something to behold. Unfortunately the RoboFox malfunctioned after failing to digest Rita's offering and has now been sent back to Valhalla Enterprises Inc in exchange for a Titanic RoboCop - watch out.
 The IOC design concept |  RoboFox sussing out victims. |  Isn't fox hunting illegal? |
And Guest player Jan Norton had an exciting days play, topped by an excellent 5 point score on the Par 4 15th hole when her 100 yard approach shot trundled and bumbled its way into the hole for a net hole in one. Jan also picked up the honour of being the best guest in the ladies competition. Congratulations Jan.
In the Mens competition Frank won (33), Tod was 2nd (33) and Keith was 3rd (31). 5 players scored 30 points and were ranked in this order - Keith (the elder), Lord Ray, Wren, Pete & Sam.
In the ladies completion Kinga won with a very creditable 37 points in difficult conditions, Nina was second with 35 and Fay third with 33.
And finally the new mens captain was unveiled. Well perhaps he was regurgitated as for the first time The Titans have re-appointed a previous Captain to the role. Congratulations to Will Smith.
