IT’S A NEW AGE!!  First ever mid-week Anvo match to my knowledge – times is tough – with covid preventing our usual Sunday matches.  Fraught with danger as Bears pulls out last minute with work commitments and the Donald pulls out mid match with fires at work to put out.  Two good rounds from 2LD and the Shanker, the former being slightly better and taking the honours – Congratulations!!

A new course for Anvo, and thanks to the Donald, whose home course it is, for arranging for us to give it a try.  Four par 5s and six par 3s for a par of 70 – everybody was totally impressed and keen to play it again.  Bit like walking in Central Park NY – when you get near the edges you become aware of the heavy traffic and people surrounding it, and although the immediate surrounding is verdant grass and trees, the skyline is all high rise.  Great!!  Very good escapist feeling!!

The Donald attempt to rob me of the Delaat Depart trophy was ill conceived as he unfortunately had a very acceptable reason to not complete.  Try harder, loser.

Warm welcome to Mark Fahmy as a first time Anvo player and qualifier off 28 handicap.  Hope to see you again.  Might have to christen you “Vantage” if you do come back as I don’t know anyone else who has one of those.

Shanker gets pulled, Sticky slips, remaining handicaps stay the same
