In fact he wasn’t the only one, anyone who turned up to Roundwood Golf Club on Saturday morning was in the clouds. If you want to know why then read on..................................................
It started out as a normal, run of the mill summers day in Dublin, grey skies and plenty of rain forecast. We all thought, “Not to bad…., rains not to heavy, good rain gear and I’ll be fine” but even the best rain gear in the world can’t keep you dry when your playing golf nearly 2000ft up and in the clouds (literally).
So it was great to see 24 determined “all weather” golfers turn up to play a really lovely golf course. Needless to say, the scoring wasn’t all that brilliant, 33 points by Martin Downey proving to be just enough, 2nd was Eddie Murphy with 31, next was Tony McEvoy 30 and 4th was Dara Voyles with 29. At this point I want to say how much pleasure I had finally being able to cut Martin’s handicap and it’s always nice to be able to cut Dara’s bandit handicap as well!.
There is a rumour going around that some players (no names no Paul Robinson) turned right instead of left on the 18th fairway and ended up on the 10th green, hence playing an extra 9 holes and still only scoring 22 points! When they finally arrived back in the clubhouse they said “God that was a long golf course!!”
All joking aside though you have to feel sorry for Paul Grimes who normally drives to every outing, and so can’t have a pint , but this one he got a lift to , and after enduring 18 holes in the roughest of weather he was really looking forward to a well earned drink , but guess what? there was no bar in the clubhouse , but he did say that the tea was of a particularly good vintage-1998 Chateaux Lyons I think he said it was …...Anyway Arsenal won so that cheered him up a bit.
Again thanks to all who turned up and braved the elements and hopefully we’ll have better weather for the next outing in
...........Highfield on 15th September.............
See You All Then
