Group 2 by Patrick Gassner
Apologies all was a little too upset to comment on my group 2 performance but after the therapy I am feeling positive about golf again and would like to add my groups summary for Spackler X11 “the season finale”. Personally am still shattered at another Cupless year but have pledged to return a new player in 2010.
The day started early – real early!
Mikael and I decided to car pool from Manly and him being from Sweden and me from Qld and having never been that far west in Sydney we got to the course 1.5hrs early. Now that was upsetting in itself but the even more disturbing was seeing Bathwater already at the course. Our confidence was severely shaken as we watched cup favourite Chris B go through his morning calisthenics then mercilessly crush driver after driver into the poor unsuspecting driving net. You could almost hear the Glenmore Par 3’s shaking in their boots!
From then on the golf was a blur. New comers Dan and Mikael looked like they were going to tear the place apart that is until they started playing anyway. Crapper and I tried to calm the nerves of the newcomers with our worldly Spackler wisdom but as anyone knows first time in the Spackler Octagon is not for the faint hearted.
Although watching Dan Myself and Chris see how far we could miss fairways by was very amusing all day the highlight was easily Mikael (the new Swede’s) enterprising bunker play (caught on film please see this link). I challenge anyone to hit arse first out of a bunker he has the touch of a young Edberg.None of us played to our generous handicaps so will refrain from a hole by hole as it is not deserved (besides the ensuing binge drinking has hazed most of the detail). I will however boldly go on record and declare that should Dan mentally recover from his debut that he will win a Spackler by the end of 2010 – odds anybody?
