Group 5 by Chris Mercer
Having donned the complete wet weather gear and looking at the rest of the Group, known as Group 5, Merce felt that at least he was going to have the driest pants should the rain clouds deliver their contents for most of the day. Given his partners were, Dean(I’m freshup)’o, Dun(I know I)can and Phil(u know u want me)Ritchie there was a lot of anticipation about how many or few points would be scored in our group.
“I’m freshup” really started with a roar, a half decent drive, a good wedge, a couple of putts and Par, naturally “I’m Fresh Up” made the call early, ‘I could be in for a good day’, only to be quickly reminded by the now inappropriately attired Merce that, ’there is a long way to go yet.’ A lesson for all fast starters, 18 holes is the name of the game. And so it was that “I’m Freshup”s scoring evaporated as quickly as the puddles from the mornings’ downpour. In fact, some of the golf got nasty. That’s harsh actually, his first 6 holes points were, 3,0,3,0,3,0. Given some of us saw a pattern forming we thought he could have a funny day. Unfortunately the next few holes look like, 0,0,2,0,0…. We all make mistakes.
“I Know I” was a picture of almost moments. All day “I Know I” got into good positions, but on occasion he made a meal of the shorter form of the game, but on one memorable occasion he knocked in a double breaking, downhill finishing 18 stride putt which given it was for birdie, meant that he acquired nearly as many points as Deano had scored all day. Watch out for “I Know I” his 30 points could quite easily have been 45, and lurking around the 28 handicap spot, could demolish future Spackler competitions. I forgot to mention, “I Know I” had a moment on the dreaded 9th where he hit his ball in a lake, in the lake on the 18th hole. That’s harsh.
This moves us to the bright star of the day, “U know U want me” had a ludicrous day of ball striking. Given he has mentioned a few lessons and a couple of rounds, “U know U want me” accumulated points as effectively as a Salvo collects coins from future customers in a Pub on a Friday night. The demons started talking to “U know U want me” however, and it got personal, particularly near the green and in bunkers. But given the strength of this Bears Living Legend, he still fought back and took more points as he closed in on the Final hole, and as the crowd of librarians on the hill watched, Phil took aim at a target somewhere well to the left of the green, and struck a beautiful hybrid to the centre of the green. Unfortunately Phil found out that double bogeying a par three is easy for a point when you four putt, what a shame. Butt 36 points, and a lot left on the course, “U know U want me” is sure to feature in future Spacklers.
And what of Merce, well his pants did stay dry all day, and 11 points out and 20 points in offered nothing to shout about, and completed a particularly average year for the former champ.
