It was a delight to visit one of the Titans favourite courses - Hoebridge golf course. Although this time it was a pretty small turnout of 8 committed Titans. The weather was a little chilly but the course was in great condition.
The early leader was our inspirational leader who amassed 12 points in just 4 holes before suffering a crisis of confidence for some unknown reason and started to suffer from the putting yips, the chipping yips, and the driving yips. Consider this - at the par 3 12th hole the Prez won the NP prize but then walked off with a 4! However somehow he managed to scramble 27pts to gain 3rd place overall.

 Prez hit it close on 12 to win NP. Great shot. |  The look of a born winner. What happens next? |
Much of the pre-match talk was that our esteemed handicapper had not suffered a handicap cut in about 3 years. Greg defended himself by claims of injury and poor form but today he at last suffered from the handicappers scythe as he scored a creditable 30pts to secure 2nd place (and a cut) losing out on 1st place via countback. His fellow Titans were relieved that he has now joined the "Titans Handicap Moaners Club"
Ben made it a hat-trick of wins by blasting his way around the course with a succession of high flying and powerfully hit draws from off the tee. His power play was amply demonstrated by his amazing display on the tricky NP2 14th hole. He absolutely smashed his towering drive massively left towards the OOB only to be saved by a massive draw which pulled it back down amongst the trees. Them he proceeded to smash his approach through the tree tops to land on the green leaving a trail of twigs, branches and leaves in his wake. Brilliant stuff.

No it is not a scene from Game of Thrones. The onlooking crow is just waiting for Richard to abandon his Magni nest. Richard on the other hand is as proud as punch to at last pick up the Titans top prize
Will and Pete won the LD prizes and Greg completed his satisfying day by winning NP2 and the dosh.
Tod retains his lead at the head of the Champions Tour Leaderboard, closely followed by Pete and Prez. Ben has now moved into 4th.
