Titans elect Schick as Wind God

The Weather God was sorely missed at a gale and wind swept Merrist Wood on Sunday. Have we finally sussed that he only chooses to play when the weather is predicted to be good?

So the brave glorious few strode off onto the Merrist battleground - two steps forward then one or two back.

With a mighty swish of the driver the balls sailed off into a headwind - never to be seen again. Reload. Repeat for the next 6 holes.

Reputations were severely damaged. Tour leader McErlean equalled his career worst score with the Titans. Expensive golf kit was stewn across the course.

Andre has had enough torture and takes a rest.

However one person soared in the Merrist winds and his name is Phil Schick. He is the Wind God. 31 points in such dreadful weather was an Titanic effort.

Phil Schick is the Titans Wind God

Captain James "T" McIntyre congratulates the Wind God.

There was a special prize at the 12th celebrating Ireland's 6 Nations Rugby triumph. Vice President Alan Lee kindly donated a bottle of Jamesons to the winner and to make sure he kept it he chose one of the most difficult NP2's on tour (what's new said the Prez) on one of the windiest days in Titans history. But one man rose to the challenge. Well done Pat Carr.

26 points secured second, third and fourth places for Pat C, Tod L, and Philip C, Will S was 5th with 25 and the Prez 6th with 24 puts. Captain James took the NP and the long drive (0-19) was won by Sam Dunkley. Philip C had a good drive in the higher handicap category but evil Greg adjudged it to be off the fairway. Close but not close enough .


Finally the guest prize was won by the impressive John Limpus with a very creditable 19 points. The average score on a tough day was a measly 20 points!!  Pass the whisky around Pat!!
