Provided very promptly by the victor, with a bit of delay on my part to add it here. Not bad for a first go at these things – we expect to see many more from Woolly
Match Report – The Brissle
The 2015 Brissle was hosted by Rob at Thornbury Golf Club and the day consisted of a team event in the morning on the Par 3 course and then the main event on the afternoon.
The morning didn’t start well for Nelly K and Aust… Nelly tweaked a muscle in his back picking up his hat so Boycie stepped in and gave him some tablets to fight through the pain. For Aust he saw a line up of shiny golf buggies for £20 each but had his heart broken by being told they were all booked… (Fortunately this was rectified in the afternoon)
After bacon sandwiches we went over to the Par 3 for the team event. I was grouped with Rob, Millers and Nelly K who was on fire even with a bad back although questions were asked about the type of tablets Boycie had given him. The course was in top condition and we all played well with two of us breaking 40 points and Nelly steaming in with a record 53 points. A key lesson for Noz from the morning was not to ask Greggers for both of his tissues in times of great need.
Lunch was served and it was fairly clear that Millers wanted the pie rather than the ham, egg and chips. He was also not a big fan of Rob’s tote betting system. Lunch then took a turn for the worse for the Villa fans in the society as Southampton started hammering in goal after goal and it was clear it was going to be stressful afternoon.
The main event kicked off with Rob putting the names into the Brissle Horn. I was in a group with Dougal, Greggers and Pedro and started well with three pars so I knew I was getting some Stapleforth points on the board early. Highlights of the round included Bruce getting within one inch of a hole in one with picture evidence posted on Whatsapp. Greggers then unleashed his Golf Energy which wasn’t just a normal flapjack but actually provided him performance nutrition.
After getting 24 points on the front nine I knew I was in the running so during the back nine I tried to avoid any daft shots. Dougal and Pedro aided me throughout by telling me to take my time and protect my score. After many attempts I have as Simon mentioned broken my cherry and won the prestigious Brissle Bugle (Which I had no clue how to play).
The day ended with Noz and Bacon winning on the tote, Millers sporting the WHV Idiot high vis jacket while celebrating Villa staying in the top flight, Greggers eating a meal that had no name and Boycie secretly eating cake on his own.
