Treasure Hill ( Stableford) Friday at Bert’s is fast becoming nearly as popular as Tuesday at Bert’s. Generally the same people play but we do have an influx of new blood. We usually play the ‘Lesser’ Golf Courses on a Friday so it gives a chance for the ‘More Careful Financially’ player to have a Gerry, Gordon, Mashi and Geoff game.

wind but all in all a fine day, and of course the views here are really fine. The fun started back in the dressing room and it was like a scene from a Comedy Spoof. One of our players, Let us call him ‘Bumble’ for reasons of friendship, was sat on the bench with the Manager and Locker room staff there. He had come back and opened his locker to find it empty, and he remembered having his bag as he took his shoes out of it. A return to his car did not find the suspect bag. The staff to their credit were nonplussed and opened all the lockers close by and it started to look awkward as out hero had his locker key number 113 and it was empty. Being a person of high intelligence, after some time he returned to the desk and checked his locker number and found he had signed for number 131, and yes on checking his bag was
in 131 and his key opened it. An International Incident was averted, and at least a half hour late he was able to get a shower. A sure sign of Murphy’s Law, but it always seems to follow some people, and they are usually the nicest. He will not obviously live this down, probably ever. Back at Bert’s all gathered to hear the results, and of course to have a little fun at our ‘Bumble’s’ being ‘Lockered Out’. The Winner of the day was once more Dick Warberg with a fine 39 points ahead of Rob Brown in second with 35 points and Peter Whitehead in third with 34 points. We then had a countback on 33 points which saw Bill Knight in fourth and J.C. Lhoste in fifth. There was however only one Hero on the day, he who put a smile on out faces. T.T.F.N.

Micky Mouse Darts Legue WINNERS - Rising Sun
Congratulations to this years winners of the Mickey Mouse League 2009, the Rising Sun. It’s got to be said, Lance (RS) and Jim’s game (OK) was the game to watch, as it was a very tight game as the 140’s and tons were coming out of nowhere, even Spongebob was on tender hooks as this game was so tense! The nerves got to both Lance and Jim as the doubles were so near, but yet so far away. Sadly the best man lost, Jim had a brandy and Checked out first, so their were no stars for Lance this week! At least there was a saviour, Could Ronnie help me get over being the only loser? Ronnie and Tony (lance’s little big brother) were last on the oche and their was bribes going on behind Lance’s back, can you believe my team? Jerome!! Offered
Tony a 1,000bt if he would throw it and let Lance be the only loser, but brother lee love took over and Tony stood proud to beat Ron! So their were two very good players and close games both without stars. Quote from Lance and Ron and remember this “it’s a team game”.......
