You may have heard on the grapevine that we held our annual golf trip this past week, 20 lads taking on the courses of Salgados, Palmeres and Morgado in the sunny Algarve. |
The trip, often known for its boozy exploits, is still in fact a group of decent golfers; 10 golfers sitting inside the six-handicap mark. The trip consists of two teams of 10, Team Trev and Team Ryan; with two doubles matches and a singles last day event (like a Ryder Cup format).
Not often an easy one to win, it's known for its draws and this year was incredibly no different, an all-out 10-10 draw across the three days, which culminated in the last four singles matches coming in for Ryan, blowing the Team Trev 10-6 lead. |
|
The main event was a Trev vs Ryan singles match, Ryan lucky enough to receive a handicap of four due to his lack of playing time. The match was well contested and despite losing a buggy on the 10th hole due to a rude, incompetent Marshall both players ended at 36 points or better. But Trevor took the spoils, a -3 round, 39 points and bragging rights for 2019.
There were no casualties, all 20 golfers made it back, all limbs intact and despite several rough figures on the Jet2 flight home; there was nothing to report. Same again next year, as the trip will head into its 7th Official holiday abroad.
Enjoy the rest of this week's read. |

Or, why not do what Les Dagger did? He had a putting session with Ryan in our Putting Lab, he missed his first six putts before holing 18 in a row after Ryan had worked with him. Les then went out and had a pair of twos out on the course in the Wednesday Swindle. Keep it up Les.
