Morning all, You may of heard a large loud thud this morning, that was me crashing back in earth in ugly fashion! As Dutchy stated above, it's been a huge week which i now have a huge headache from......
The boys trip was, well a boys trip! Absolutely loved it had a blast, but that's all i'll talk about that
5AA Golf day at Glenelg was awesome, great day. Thought the weather was going to kill the day, but we literally only got 2 minor showers. Had Graham Cornes as our 5AA Star. I don't know why, but i went in thinking he'd be a grumpy old miserable bastard, well i couldn't be further from the truth! Absolute gentleman, was great to talk to, told some cracking stories and was very giving with his time.
Footy was obviously a strong topic, i asked him the best players his seen, Cornsey stated he couldn't split Robran and Russell, but he then elaborated on Ross Glendinning and how underrated he was, Keith Greig same boat, he spoke about the natural ability of Phil Carman, but also stated he was an absolute lunatic, also gave Martin Leslie a special mention. the stories went on and on. from talking about a whole range of footballers, to the state of the modern game and some cracking yarns along the way.
The after golf entertainment was nothing short of sensational, Timmy G was his usual self, Flipper was brilliant, The Interview with KG was very emotional, the interview with Daniel Talia was very revealing around how he was treated by senior board members at the club which has left a bad taste in a lot of players mouths, he also touched on the camp saga and the Grand Final Loss, he spoke really well. the other interviewee was Les Burdett again, amazing stories and insight.
On to the golf, Cornesy plays off 17, i see him a much better player than that just lacks the length (perhaps that's his been married 3 times
) but in all seriousness very rarely missed a fairway, chipping was solid and the weight of his putts was spot on. what killed us in the overall scheme of things was our inability to sink any putts of note and our handicap. our group played off 4 & 1/4, we collectively had 3,4,10 and cornesy off 17. we had 6 under 64 off the bat, Nett 59 & 3/4, winners ended with Nett 52, I'm defiantly calling bullshit!
I won a range finder, very happy with that.
Melbourne Cup day at Morphettville yesterday was huge, followed by kick ons at 2Kw. I backed the winner of the cup and had a reasonable day on the punt.
Todays headache very well earnt and a small price to pay for an epic week.
