What a day for headlines….and the BBCs gloomy forecast for Pyrford did not materialise! Good thing as there was enough water hazards on the course to relieve the purple army of their balls (Take a bow Wren Mott - reached double figures). Talking about balls, it was revealed that one of the Titans (37pts today) shaves his when he thinks it’s going to rain. Swing improvement and aerodynamics was mentioned but possibly the main reason was to reduce ‘frizzyness’ down below!
The Titans IOC is having an emergency meeting to decide what happens if someone wins three times on the trot. The leading suggestion is that like the World Cup the thrice time winner gets to keep it (for the next round) and play in it as well. Could be worthwhile if McErlean makes a return and is playing in the group behind the prez - No need to duck!
Two persons sitting not to far away on 21 pts – enjoyed their Guinness even more!!! VP was pressganged by the Prez and Captain into taking Captains Sam’s amazing read – Titans of History’ by Simon Segbag Montefiore.

Titans Spirit
The Titans Special Achievement award for most Spiritied Person goes to Nick Bell whose ding dong bell was recently smashed, along with Nick himself, following a bicycle crash 2 days earlier. Had he beaten the Prez to the wondrous winners helmet on the last outing he would have surely been better protected in the crash. His golf may have suffered a bit but not much. Well done Nick (or is that Bien Cuit?)
Bacon Roll
The Pyrford roll is the perfect roll says Prez - 10/10. Some thought a 9 as who knows if it could be bettered.It was excellent with three rashers of crispy bacon and a floury bun
