A review of 2009 Golf at Cypress Lakes and preview of 2010 at the Vintage.



Firstly, we have booked our tee time for the DD weekend at The Vintage golf course for 10am, a very gentile time so one has enough time on hand to keep the wife happy, knock off some breakfast with the accompanying bloody mary to ward off the night befores full effects!

Cypress 2009 Review

At the inaugural weekend we lined up at Cypress Lakes with three teams of 4, for a 4 ball ambrose, with the teams looking like this;

Team 1
Matt
Nathan
Iain
Sean

Team 2
Rick
Richard
Scott
Chris S

Team 3
Ric
Penny
Chris H
Aaron

It was obvious from the team draw that one particular team looked the most likely on paper, but this is golf and stange things can happen to even the most accomplised players. Team 2 were that team and they combined well enough on the day to take the prizes, with a very respectable round of just a few over from memory, although in hindsight they should have had their score adjusted for the lack of alcohol consumed on course, Team 1 followed a few shots back, no mean feet considering the amount of alcohol consumed on course, their team style of one to hit it, one to watch it, one to find it and one to get the drinks held up all day!! Team 3 placed 3rd on the day and considering Penny had never really played, Ric and Chris H either hadn't played for a long time or where re-introducing themselves back to the game, acquitted themselves well finishing the day about 10 over!

All in, it was a great way to spend the day, if only it hadn't been 40 degrees and the fact I think Team 1 consistently drank the drinks cart dry, leaving very little for anyone else!!

Great work to Team 2 of Rick, Richard, Chris S, and Scott they lived up to their own hype!

Other awards for the day went to Matt and Aaron for winning longest drives, Nathan and Aaron nearest pins, and Penny Longest drive for the ladies!

Sharpen up the irons, The Vintage awaits!
