At Last Brian Wins At Golf !!
Brian Price and David Fenn both took part in the District Autumn Golf Day at Bentley’s Golf Club on Tuesday 13th October. It was a lovely day weather wise as sixty Rotarians enjoyed their days golf.
It started with a bacon roll and coffee before we tee’d off in groups of three (four in David’s group).David started well, considering he doesn’t play much these days, with a five at the first, and maintained a reasonable standard throughout the round and was scoring at about the same rate as his fellow competitors. On the tenth hole he soon woke Brian from his slumbers, as he put his tee shot extremely close to Brian and his colleagues who were playing in the group ahead. “I really thought they were well out of range but I caught my ball just right and it took off like a dream”.
We didn’t see Brian again until we completed the eighteenth hole. Brian was very coy about his score and I knew something was up as he wasn’t harping on about David’s average score. We changed and joined the others for a well earned beer before going into dinner. When the awards were announced dear old Brian’s name was the first announced. No, he didn’t wine the first prize or ecven the second for that matter. Nor was it for the longest drive or nearest the pin. He didn’t even win the prize for the most lost balls. His prize – a set of spanners, was for the biggest score of the tournament which he still won’t reveal to others. He did however, admit that it was his worst score on his home club’s course. Never mind Brian, it is the taking part that counts and at least you did go home with a prize which is more than David did.
It turned out to be a most enjoyable event, good sport, good weather a good meal and of course the most enjoyable fellowship with fellow roatarians.
