Sat in a dull protocol conference in Berlin, listening to french people drone on about power consumption on border routerzzzzz.
So I’ve made this – importantly, these are your handicaps for the weekend, and some banter
2015 Welsh Trip
| Name | Answers to | Starting Handicap | Lead the OoM? | Jug Form Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A.Brown | Ron, Ronno, Aaron | 0 | 65 points behind Donk | Haven't seen him for a few years, worth a shout on good tracks |
| S.Cooper | Coops, Coopo, Bandit | 9 | Doesn't qualify for OoM | Been a long time since Dartmouth, but is allegedly playing the golf of his life |
| T.Smith | Jimenez, Tom | 10 | Doesn't qualify for OoM | Injury lay off and harsh handicap might count against Jimenez at his second Jug, but is known to be a player |
| H.Bennett | Huge | 11 | Doesn't qualify for OoM | Reportedly playing good golf on a tough track - an unknown quantity |
| S.Harrison | Donk, Donko, Cap (I wish) | 11 | Will have at least 183 points on Sunday night | Hasn't won it, but has only been out of the final four once |
| R.Hall | Idiot - only ever Idiot | 12 | Nope, ten points short | Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha |
| B.Hopkin | Bruce, Juice, Bonus, Swiss Tony | 13 | 117 points behind Donk | Has won three, but choked last year and is likely to suffer new dad issues |
| P.Milmore | Millers, Milko, Weirdo, Fecking Hurry Up Millers, What Have you come as? | 14 | the only player who could be in yellow for the Jug apart from Donk | No chance of holding it together for 36 holes |
| S.Harding | Boyce, Magnum, Pikey Killer, Horse Boy, The Duke of Chelmsley Wood | 15 | 60 points behind | Could repeat, if we all fall to bits, his steady play could do it again - Telford here we come |
| A.Austin | Aust, and that's about it | 16 | No - because of his ongoing match report penalty, Aust cannot win the OoM | Maybe, playing well, but three days is a lot of hitting, even in a buggy |
| P.Kerr | Paulo, PK | 19 | Doesn't qualify for OoM | Who knows, Noz is in big trouble if he does |
| M.Allsopp | Bacon, Bacon Bonce, Slow Poke, Mike | 20 | 63 points behind | Doubtful, but using borrowed balls might help him |
| C.Gregory | Greggors, Gregs, TD, Christopher, Princess, Gibbon | 20 | Just 32 points behind - in win a shout, if he wasn't Gregs on a weekend | Should be able to on talent, but has the mind of a simpleton, and will focus on shenanigans rather than golf |
| W.Spittle | Noz, Spittler, Wake Up | 22 | 56 points behind | Has done it before on Willpower, could do it again if the weather is bad and he wants portugal enough |
| P.Wolstenholme | Woolly | 23 | 30 points behind | Every chance, playing well. Could equally fall to bits |
| D.Baxter | Pres, Doug, Doogal, Baxter | 26 | 62 points behind | Three time champ, gets better the more he plays - could be in line for #4 |
| N.Kelford | Big Nelly | 26 | 56 points behind | Never say never, but this won't be a par 3 challenge |
| N.Marriott | Little Nelly | 26 | 118 points behind - would need to do a Noz and hope for Donk blowout | Maybe - took the matchplay in dominant style and will be wearing our champs ring |
| R.Ash | Pete, Pedro, Prof | 28 | 87 points behind | Would be legendary, is possibly too far fetched a concept |
| A.Hogarth | Adam, Ads | 29 | 87 points behind | It might happen, he has the shots and can string a score together if his head doesn't go after a couple of bad shots |
