Two competitions; firstly the Farmer's Cup for those that have completed 6 rounds or more in the WAGS in 2012, at full club handicap, and secondly the normal weekly WAGS where 10%'s apply.

The usual Tote Betting will be available from 12th December and on the day.

Please search those attics, cellars, garages and wardrobes for your old golfing attire (that still fits!!) and wear it for this event. "Loud, but tasteful" is our motto. A reminder that a jacket and tie is needed for the meal please.

The WAGS website will be refreshed over the coming months and on the 19th December new "profile photographs" will be taken. So now is the time to make that appointment with your beauty consultant to ensure your hair (if you have some) is cut, your eyebrows plucked, nasal hair trimmed and a clean shaven fully moisturised face is available to the official photographer, Mr J Garratt.

For those that didn't attend and were wondering about the two 6&5 defeats, well the 13th green is next to the clubhouse and it was raining heavily!!

We look forward to the return friendly in 2013.


 

Pairs competition, 18th April 2012,


An anecdote

We were astonished! That Albert Bishop should just not turn up amazed us all. His now lonely playing partner Arthur did his best and stayed with Stuart and Colin until the 4th hole but at his age it was a fruitless task poor old chap. "He might have told someone the bastard"! Where is he? "Cornwall"!
It isn't that the Wags are vindictive but to let down your playing partner (or even drop sandwich crumbs) meets with serious reprisal. The air was blue as the once good name of Albert Bishop was keelhauled through the crap. "Are you sure he told no-one"? Asked Mr Mccann, the absolute bastard! I'll just check my phone to make sure.............Oh!
