THE WEEK THAT WAS BULLETIN No3

Welcome to the 3rd VOTSCC weekly bulletin. Thanks again for your responses through the week and also your ideas and requests. Long may it continue folks.

This week saw WGT start Turf Wars, a new feature for mobile users. Basically it looks like they are trying to base it on a CC Clash for mobile, but to be honest, if anyone knows or thinks they know what its all about, well you should be working for NASA.

This week also saw another twist in the ongoing drama that is affecting one of our own. Kotyskellys account was again frozen. Don't know all the politics surrounding this, but all I and the rest of the club I'm sure would like to say is, come on the powers that be. Just let the girl play and enjoy. She aint doing no one any harm.

JCM51s HIO at St.Andys tournament, the one that runs along with this bulletin was won by Dscholm5, although Jtcooki shot the same score so I'm calling that a tie. Lol. Well done to both of you and to the 18 others that took part.

INS AND OUTS-- Another week of no outs but even better, we had 4 ins. Big welcome to Doveruk, DirtyDuffer, and 2 new ladies MelissaNJohnson and Ladyfromdallas. Hope you all have fun playing in the sun.

ACHIEVEMENTS-- Quiet week for this category. No one tiered up or hit a landmark in club points. Get a move on people. Lol.

ROUND OF THE WEEK-- Got to give this to CoryGRobinson who shot a 10 under 25 at Chambers Bay, 7 shots ahead of the nearest contender at the time of writing this. Superb.

SHOTS OF THE WEEK-
Cthamos71-- 65 yds at St.Andys
Dosser53-- 65 yds at Olympic Club
Dschom5-- 76 yds at Bethpage
Textor--233 yds at Bethpage
Now Textors shot would have been shot of the week on any other week but when a member hits a HIO that beats anything. So shot of the week goes to Kishoph for this 152 yd beauty at Bandons 2nd hole.

MEMBER V MEMBER-- Pdb1 and a other defeated Ladyfromdallas and a other in a 9 hole alternate shot match.

American golf balls have 336 dimples on their surface, while British golf balls have 330.

Hockey is a sport for white men, basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps. Tiger Woods.

MCA19670 QUEST FOR A HOLE IN ONE-5 WORD REPORT.
Just grazed the hole. Damm.

JIMS JOKE OF THE WEEK.
I wonder what my parents did to fight boredom before the internet. Iasked my 17 brothers and sisters and they didn't know either.

AND ONE FOR THE LADIES.
Whats the difference between a knife and an argumentative man.
A knife has a point.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY.
1969. John Lennon and Yoko Ono marry in Gibraltar.

2.HISTORY OF GOLF-- Who was the first non American postwar winner of the US Masters.
3.WHO AM I--I was born in San Diego in 1953. I have 32 professional wins including 1 major. My brother Gary is a Billboard charting recording artist.

POLL-- Should CC clashes be every 4 weeks rather than every 2 weeks. Maybees Aye or Maybees
Naw.

Last weeks poll, If you are 3 shots under par on 1 hole you have just had an Albatross and not a Double Eagle ended in a split decision with even a few folks saying maybees aye and naw as their answer .Hopefully this poll we will get some clearer answers.

DufferJohn and Textor asked if we could pay tribute to a legend that sadly passed away this week. So heres a video of the great Chuck Berry in action.

REFRESHMENT OF THE WEEK.

Theres a queue at the bar this week, so anyone thats ordered a drink will need to wait a week or two because there is only one drink we should all have been drinking this week .Some of us will have had a Guinness on Friday celebrating St.Patricks day. A dry Irish stout, brewed in almost 50 countries and is available in over 120. It has been around for 258 years. So everyone, Top of the morning to y'all.

That's it for another week folks. Keep up the request for songs, drinks or any other ideas.They are all appreciated. Will once again leave you in the capable hands of Hamish McTavish to tell you the name of this weeks tournament and its conditions.

Martin,
Excellent job on issue #3, it just keeps getting better.
Thank you for the Chuck Berry salute, a pioneer of rock and roll with true blues roots. He was a bit before my time but I'm still a blues rock and roll fan. At one time I was part of the Clapton is god cult. LOL
I'm going to brag, I had a big personal achievement in the Week 10 Free Multiround Kiahwah F9, Pinehurst #2 B9. I shot a 29+32=61 for a ninth place tie. My first top 10 finish since turning Legend. It only took 11 months! This Legend tier is almost as tough as our CC tournaments. In TWTW2 I posted a 28 and finished third!
On this week's poll I'm a maybe aye.
Keep up the good work, have fun and hit 'em straight,
John

Great job once again Martin. My answer to the poll is AYE!!! Every 4 weeks would be much better, but WGT is not gonna change anywhere in the near future....it's a dump truck full of cash for them every time it's played (Passes / Balls)....Jim

Just realised there Gene when I played the tournament that your HIO was at the 8th and not the 2nd. Sorry mate.
Cheers Turd. Just watched your HIO there also. Very nice.

Thanks Textor, but where's the answers to the quiz questions. Are they to difficult for you this week. Lol

I'm so tempted to google the quiz questions but not going to in the spirit of the quiz. I don't know the answers to any of these, but on the 1st question (T or F), I'll say false. I have a 50 - 50 shot at being correct though (lol).

Yeah, they're too difficult. I've spent the last 3 days in the hospital taking care of my brother. (He's fine. I took him home yesterday.) This explains my limited play this week, and my terse response yesterday. Besides, I thought I'd give someone else a chance. If no one answers the quiz in the next few days, I will. Now, it's back to work.
