Another top day for the PJ memorial game. No pissing rain, so this time he threw a curve ball and decided to have us melt in the heat! Sneaky bastard looking down on us, the only pissing would be his laughter.

8 L4G members and 4 visitors took the fairways of Castle Hill Country Club for this years event. The day started around 9.30am for some, who ventured to Schmucks wonderful cafe (Marcellinos) for a pre game Coffee and a scrumptious Bacon/Sausage & Egg Roll. If you haven’t been there…in the words of Molly Meldrum…do yourself a favour!

As per usual we were joined by Mrs Chook Norris (Chris) for the day, which started with the traditional remembrance ceremony and downing of the shot of either Jim Beam, Butterscotch Schnapps or Port.

Chris followed the groups in her own flow through ventilated cart, graciously suppled by CHCC. Play got underway and many of the very tall trees on the course felt our wrath 🙂 In the end there were two players slugging it out for the trophy, Snorkelguru coming through for the win by the solitary point, shooting 2 over par on the 2nd nine holes.

Following the game we all headed back to Schmucks cafe for a magnificent feast of Pizza, Pasta, Schnitzel & Hot Chips. Wine was flowing courtesy of Birdie Killer and Commish, along with bottles donated by Schmucks mate Dave…these went out to the top 3 place getters.

So, the results for the day:

Winner Snorkelguru 39pts
Zookeeper 38pts
Barenski 33pts
Birdie Killer 30pts
Peppas 29pts
Commish 28pts
Schmuck 28pts
David V 27pts
Nilesh S 23pts
Jeff F 20pts
Greywolfe 19pts
Savin P 15pts

Snorkel must have contacts at Golflink after he blew out by .1 to 12.7 after his 39 points…and just to please Francie, I lost .2 to drop to 12.6 after shooting my 33points…joke!!!!

A few thank yous: Thank you to all who turned up to play this annual event. Currently we are sitting at $600 for Beyond Blue. Thank you to Schmuck, Dave V and Jeff F for the game today, very much enjoyable playing in this group. I don’t think I can remember ever being that shagged after a game of golf. Thank you to Chris for taking the time to watch us chop it around the course and for supplying yet another outstanding cake to celebrate PJ’s birthday.

My biggest thanks are reserved for Schmuck and his staff at Marcellinos…one of whom stayed back after her shift to assist with the food preparation and refused to be compensated for it. It was a very generous gesture and didn’t go un-noticed.
Hope to see you at the next PJ game on September 18 2024.

Good to see your handicap is coming down Cap’n. I had another poor round yesterday so the way it’s going we’ll be close to similar handicaps come late October. I played off 15 yesterday (back blue markers so high adjustment) but still couldn’t play to it. ????

Now on 13.2…out .6 in the last 2 games 😛
