Phew! The sound of children chuckling brought me back. As the amateurish wavy lines cleared, I looked over at my twin nephews who were caddying for me, and saw them laughing at the five extra wedges I had been practicing with earlier and then stuffed into my bag, whilst pretend sword fencing with my non-conforming Cleveaway Big Trampoline Face driver and another driver that I had angrily bent out of shape during the round. Summoning up all of my courage, I did the honorable thing and put my hand up. That brought the round to a rather premature end, even by my staggeringly low standards, losing as I did 14 & 12 to set yet another record.* Ah well, there’s always next year…
*Editor’s note: The honorable Mak was actually correct. He was penalized the maximum two holes for each of the following violations: Rule 6.4 - having more than one caddie, Rule 4.4 - having more than 14 clubs, Rule 4.1 – playing with a non-conforming club and Rule 4.2 - club playing characteristics changed during play.
