Benidorm, November 9th, 2007

Sponsored by 'Big Nose Tours'

At last the constant pining of females on the east coast of Spain was abated, well
at least for a long weekend. The Charmer returned from the UK with six halfwit
friends to give the senoritas some eye candy and to join the WGCS day at Benidorm.

Numbers were boosted to 36 with an array of old and new meeting in the sunshine
for a lunchtime kick-off that ensured some rapid golf in order to get round before
darkness fell.

Personally having experienced some WGCS golfers over the years I could name
several whose golf may improve if played in the dark.

My round was enlightened by numerous events: the enigmatic Ceda Sevenyearich
and his son Sasha smackithardich joined me with the resident pro making up the
four. The pro putted like a man with no arms and Sasha played several nipple lickers
off the tee that opened the hole up nicely. Another plus was the new 3-wheeled
individual buggies available for rent. They are like disability vehicles that go anywhere
after your ball. If someone could just get an Optics row set up on the back plus a
colostomy bag it would shortly become man's new best friend. The front lights were
also very useful as we finished the last few holes in the dark.

So to the prizes. These were kindly donated by the Charmer and friends. Steve Lamb
picked up the individual winners prize of a Callaway Big Berther wood. The Touring
Strawberry Blonde Pete Mullins a close second and Dennis Pyman (manager and
father of Iain Pyman European tour pro) came third. Apparently Pete also came
second on Saturday night but that’s a whole other story.

Mira behindthebikeshedsich won the best woman award

After some argument with the scorers the Team Pink Ball challenge was won by Mira,
John Forbes and Michael O’Reilly and Norman Jermon. Joel Weinberg team actually
argued that they as a team had scored more, but as he was South African we
showed him a slow motion action replay that conclusively (didn’t show) that his toe
was 1mm over the tee line when he teed off hence his try, sorry tee shots were
disallowed.

Nearest the pins were won by The Pro, Lamby, Norman Jermon, Brian Woodhouse
and the strawberry blonde.

Special prizes were also kindly awarded to club officials: A bottle of whisky and
B righton Shirt to the Chairman Gary Stone. A Brighton Home shirt to El Presidente
Dos John Williams and a new liver and countdown calendar to club Captain Joel
Schulein to aid his recovery.

The fun carried on into the evening where a group of 15 went onto Altea for food
and were entertained by John Williams' impressions of TV/Film stars. Sadly this was
a short repartee as it was restricted solely to Gollum and the little short bald bloke
from the Benny Hill show. A great weekend and a great day played in a great spirit.

Lastly a thought for the day from Mike Coomber - If you have Alzheimer’s can you
hide your own Easter Eggs for an Easter Egg Hunt?
