Tape it

A short sharp session this morning was followed by a couple of presentations and pictures. Myself and Kev Nicholson ( the only other lad at the club who will do it no questions asked! ow! ) popped in to see Frank Prince first at one of his courses, a great bloke and a ringer for an older 'Hilly'. A penalty shoot out ( well done Ellis!) twenty trophies and certificates later and we then shot over to meet Pete Morgan and some of the young golfing academy hopefuls at Dainton golf course. Smile please and it was done.
The age old argument though that golf is a good walk spoiled will always be remain, but those who argue against it are either impatient or can't hit the ball. If your both you are just plain bitter !!. I fall into the first category ( ok the second as well ! ), after five holes I am checking the mobile and looking at the watch, time is money!.
Pete has really settled in well at the club, even though he has removed his trademark moustache, the stories and banter remain. His epic journey through China in the summer was hilarious, diarrhea, sickness and sight seeing just don't mix !.
Today ( apologies Tyrone if you are reading this ) Pete used some of his new 'special tape' on Ty's face. After taking a new course Pete has come across some cutting edge tape ( currently being used by lots of athletes in the world championships ) that is great for muscle injuries ( basically heals, supports and kids your brain that your ok, Japanese again ! ). I am covered in it !.
Pete managed to 'persuade' Ty that his fractured cheekbone would benefit from some tape. So now, not only is he sporting a fancy 'Spiderman' pattern on his face, it is also pink!!!!!. Good luck with that one Ty, Pete will let you know the results in a couple of day's!.
Other than Wroey's five hour marathon monopoly game ( including homemade burgers! ) and Broughy's fright at the sight of a poodle, it is all quiet at the club.
Gotta go, Hatty is drawing on the rug and the kitchen is on fire!.
