Lee Wilson captured his 47th CTFC golf day title at a saturated Stock Brook Manor golf club yesterday.  The golf enthusiast (pictured) has dedicated his life to the game; he plays whenever there is a ‘y’ in the day, and insists on wearing plus fours to bed. Well done Lee.

Rotund bookmaker’s bitch, Richard Shephard, thought he’d captured the longest drive competition, but was beaten a member of the last group, who managed to surpass the ladies tee and keep it on the fairway.  Shephard’s second shot on the same hole produced a remarkable outcome.  He managed to hit a tree and land the ball 30 yards behind his longest drive effort.  This triggered a downfall in what was already a miserable effort from the mother-less food bag.  His contempt for the newly established woodland was beginning to show, as he went for each and every tree.  This level of deforestation has not been witnessed since the cleansing of the Brazilian rain forests.

During the course of the day, all available weather systems were paraded, ranging from wind, rain, sunshine, sleet, snow, and hail. But despite this, one element remained consistent throughout – some pretty poor golf.  The freezing conditions and high level of difficulty begs the question, “What is the point of a grown man whacking a tiny ball with a metal stick into a small hole 500 yards into the distance?” 

For all those who have an answer to the question above, we look forward to seeing you at the next CTFC golf society on 22nd February at The Manor of Goves.

Thanks must go to Robert Arthey, who does a fantastic job of co-ordinating the golf society.  Well done Bob.
