Shickmeister 'Strutts his Stuff'' at the Hoebridge Hoedown

(Special Edition written by Titans Talker understudy - VP)

An amazing 19 Titans amassed at Hoebridge, one of the Titans favourite courses, to do battle for the coveted prize of kneeling before the Prez to accept the 'Warrior Helmet' (Good thing it wasn't to accept the Prez's purple Helmet!!!).

This turnout was possibly one of the biggest turnouts for a non-major tour event in recent Titan history. After a chilly and windy start the sun eventually broke through, the jumpers came off and the Prez's purple army went marching on.

Special mention to '7 iron' for his outstanding Portugesesque trousers (double pleat with large bright checks) and Wardy's unmissable 'pink' tanktop which put them up there with the Strakermans bright red trousers. Maybe the IOC should consider a 'Titans Mens end of season fashion award?

The event however will be remembered in Titan folklore for the 43 points (20 out / 23 back) amassed by Phil ' Taffy' Schickmeister who could do no wrong when all around were moaning about the speed of the greens, the 'wrong type of wind', the sun was too hot! and the bacon roll had a warm side and a cold side, which was quickly noted by the 'Apprentice Moanmeister' who 'kicked off' before a ball had been hit. He has a lot to learn from the original Moanmeister as the apprentices early moan must have put him off his game given recent top 3 tour placings!!.

Prez's Bacon Butty Pronouncement (note that the opinions stated are personal to the Prez and do not represent the views of "the management"!)

It’s always gladdens the presidential heart when a slab of freshly prepared Bacon Rolls arrive in the capable hands of a pretty serving wench.  The good people of Hoebridge prepared 18 of the blighters packed with crisp, salty, and slightly fatty rashers, almost half a pig!

Thank god we’re back to soft flowery white baps rather than those Guardian reading lesbian chewy ciabatta things from Badgemore. However, Charles Lutyens was not entirely impressed with the fact that the lower side of the roll was warm, yet the top side was cold, “it’s just come out of the fridge” he exclaimed.

If that wasn’t enough, there was further derision from the apprentice moan meister that one of the rolls “contained too much butter”?  The proof was in the eating and the purple army scoffed the lot in record time.

Phil, that was a tremendous performance. Nearly as good as me winning the electoral college (on count back) and I have to say, you look as good in that Titan Helmet as I do after putting my hair on each day. Forget about those Super Computer Fake-news handicap bad-hombres, once you get used to playing a real live golf hole (without getting any strokes) for the first time - I'll bring you and the missus down to Mar-a-Lago and we can play golf without even keeping score. Scores are for Fake-News losers....we are Winners.
After golf, we can WhatsApp my friend Vlad; have some chocolate cake and play with the nuclear codes.

Brilliant. Let's play all out global thermonuclear war! Forget the golf. Forget the bad hair (rugs). Get an instant tan.
