"I just swung back to this position and then realised that I was trying to hit 150 yards with a Titans Callaway ball. Graham told me to use my 8 iron instead - best advice ever."
It was a small but elite group of 11 golfers that tread the shocking fluorescent greens of Milford. Striking in colour but fair and true. It wasn't the quality of the greens that caused the Titans trouble as yet again only a few Titans made it into the thirties.
Perhaps it was the ghosts of past Titans that upset some. The normally imperious Pat Carr was clearly shaken by the looks that the dog in the buggy was giving him at the first tee. Was that Mad Dog Guyan coming back to unsettle him? It certainly worked as Pat misfired. The dog sniggered and advised Pat to put more weight on his right foot. More classic Grim Reaper advice?
And after the Shenanigans of Oak Park, Mr Phil "your pockets" Schick finally did the unthinkable - he wasn't second. And even more unthinkable- he won. On Countback! What must he have been thinking when putting on the 18th? "Do I go for redemption and glory?" Or "if I just lag this putt a little too much and then miss the next I might clinch second place and avoid a cut".
Graham Nash was surely thinking of a win but Phil chose honour and glory and dispatched the stunned Graham into second place. Greg was third with 29, Greg was third with 29, "ball magnet" McIntyre fourth (28), Alan fifth (27) on countback from Keano.
The Prez's spies (all 10 of them) will undoubtedly be reporting back on the difficulty of the NP selection and predictably no Titans hit the green! The best golfers on the Titans tour then failed to land a drive on the LD fairways but G Mac managed to secure LD for the 18+ crowd. VP Lee won NP2 and Sam hit a very good shot to win the money at the watery grave that is the 17th (Ed - Titans Talker experience coming through here!)

VP Lee putts for birdie on 18th - missed!
And what generosity and fun there was on the difficult 18th where VP Lee sponsored a Best and Worst gross score prize. The average score recorded was 7 as the macho Titans blasted away over the water. The worst gross prize was won on handicap countback with 10 shots and James was the embarrassed Titan receiving his celebratory bottle of beer called something like "Cack Handed Porter". Sam was mighty relieved that he just missed out on that one although a 10 was nothing to smile about! However Titans honour was saved with Tod winning best gross with a stupendous birdie. The highlight of his round and possibly the only light of his round! All Titans walked away happy with a beer in hand. Thanks Alan
And what about the bacon butty. Tasty bacon in a relatively dry bun. Scored a solid 5. The course itself was in very good condition and scored a 7.
Next up - the big one. Spring Super Titans at Pine Ridge.
