Ex Cap Lock-Trumpard is obviously released from the stresses and strains of that most exalted position in golf (eat your heart out McGinley) as he carded a very impressive 31 points at a hilly, windy and wet Harleyford. This follows on from his poor 2016 form which was impacted by too much award ceremony glad handing which obviously had upset his right hand position on his club ( oh err!).
Andre shows off his new inflatable golf jacket
Also making a welcome return was another ex captain Andre McLaughlin who has been living an itinerant lifestyle lately as he builds South Fork in Worcester Park. He carded 29 points just losing out on 3rd place to el presidente on countback. Look out to Prez's account of his stunning performance on the launch of his new Twitter Account (@POTI - President of the Titans International). #megalomania
Windy and Hail on the 16th tee
And in second place was another Titans superstar on a comeback tour. Is he the best Titan never to have a sexy Titans moniker? - never VP, never P, never Captain - but always the eternal Moanmeister so stop yer moaning!
And what's this - The Doc came fifth continuing his impressive golf development. The bookies are burning the midnight oil revising their odds on Pete to be Titans champion - in 2024.
And what of sixth place for the peerless Paul Tennant? Had he not picked up his ball on a couple of holes when exhausted battling the winds and hills he might have finished- 6th!
Yes - possibly the lowest score ever to pick up £100k. Still he did beat many Titans ex-greats (Lee, Dunkley, Schick) and one "will never be great" (McErlean) who again showed off his fantastic ability to fail.

The 4:1 trophy proudly held by Greg
Standing on the 10th tee with 17 points on his card it was Greg's to lose and he lost it spectacularly with a paltry 4 points on his back 9 with a series of increasingly fat shots on a Harleyford course that was amazingly receptive to fat shots. By the end it wasn't enough to call them fat - they were obese! But he was the first winner of the prestigious 4:1 trophy (the ratio of front to back 9's) which has lain in the bottom of the Titans trophy vault for 13 years.
Geoffrey, Zippy and Bungle look for a crock of Gold at the end of the rainbow!
However Greg did have one one other moment of glory winning the money hole. Prez claimed that it should be used for the usual - champagne and "hers" - well it was something like that! Dunc D won NP and VP Lee coiled everything to hit that bloody white ball in revenge for its disobedience during what was a tough round. Surprisingly for once it complied and he won LD with Prez also winning LD in his category (I.e. Golfing Presidents - he narrowly beat POTUS Trumpard). Nobody won NP.
Winner of the guest prize was Aussie Rob Aitken who must be looking forward to returning to sunny climes but managed to shoot the score of the day - 32 points.

Our exalted POTI also said this "On arrival at Harleyford one is greeted by a personally presented bap du bacon. Lightly buttered soft floury bap encased 3 well cooked rashers of smoked bacon. A fitting feast before battle commences. 8/10"
