The forecast wasn't flash for Wednesday golf.  Stuff reported that the morning flight into Dunedin from Wellington encountered violent turbulence and that people had vomited - yuk.  As we drove south across the Taieri Plains it was blustery to say the least and that was before the rain started to fall.

​

Anyway, 22 golfers took to the usual Wednesday track which is still drying out from 150 mm of rain not that long ago.  Credit to Craig and his band of merry men to get the course looking good particularly some of those older bunkers.

​

In the sixes a lowly 28 points was enough for the first set with Les, Neil and Alistair sharing the dough with TK, Brent and Geoff.  40 was enough for the second set with Keith, Kallum and Bruce Carvell getting the job done.  Finally 44 points was enough for Hamish, Bolty, Warren and Mahmoud.  Now just exploring that a bit further, given The Phantom gets 33 points which is 11 points per set of six, if you had a team score of 4 phantoms in the last set would also score you 44 points.  So that means that 4 blokes not there were just as good as 4 of the best that were there, and also better than all the others.  I think the next time the weather is a bit iffy and golf isn't going that well, I might suggest we call it quits and go and keep Sudjan company, put our $20 in for the final set and claim a score of 44.

Now I did receive this photo which might explain some of the scoring.
