Light hearted Golfing

A good sense of humour was required when the Chronicle’s golfing reporter in the 1990s let loose. And the club members lapped it up. His report (Under the cunning pseudonym of ‘The Slicer”) for June 21st 1991:

‘Some great scoring was played during the weekend .Ted Peacock cemented his place in the Marquis team with a brilliant 8 up. Great play Ted, but give us a smile now and then.

You know, JF. 48 points amazing but true. Now his smile was so big that two steaks wouldn’t have touched the sides of his mouth. Drapes was so impressed by the old fella’s performance that he was named as reserve for the seniors.

The ladies had 4 ½ wins against Riversdale at Riversdale. And that is a good performance out there! Eileen Dempster had another good round with a 76 of stick in a match against Nancy. Perhaps Eileen may be called on duties for the you know what team.
Also from the ladies it is announced that Nicki Warren is expecting in December. Congratulations to you and Richard. I take back what I said about your golf when we played together at Carterton. After all you were the one who said that you had the slice.
There have been some changes in the Marquis Shield team. Drapes has put the knife in , so perhaps there is a message there. He probably was in a bad mood after the bad round he had last Sunday.

Perhaps if dale Harwood had signed the Golf Petition he would have made the team Oh dear, how sad – too bad.
Four Richards in one week: Ivan Taplin, Tim Warren, Freeman Jackson and Ian Till. This quartet teed off from the ladies tee on number three. And it was on Wednesday, Ladies day. These guys should have known better. Can you guess who told me?
And good luck to you Rance. Rance is having a major operation on Wednesday.
