GPL Round 7

After a lengthy wait we are left with correct results… What had happened is that a couple of golfink numbers had changed hence was not grabbing the information correctly form golflink. Now that it is fixed it is showing the Spatrans winning by 7 and not 4… against the Red House… Yep, it IS important!

Round 7 saw pins that the Tour Pros would be talking about and cold conditions only an Eskimo would feel comfortable in… the scores reflected.
The Black House showed they are fine weather golfers with 33 top scoring and a grand total of 117 saw them question why they showed up… The Green House pounced and some call it luck that they drew the Diamonds but their average of 130pts per match was enough THIS TIME. Keeping them in reach of the 4, but still bottom (just had to throw that one in there). Highlight of this match (besides Green House first win) was the Diamonds – Steve Pedic showing his true team spirit with a screen printed Diamond Flag… no not made out of diamonds, but black fabric that has a screen printed diamond in the center… Winning the best team flag.. SO FAR.

White Lighting were fair weather golfers too with most of them returning home from a Bali trip where the Tang was flowing and the 6:30 am flight arrival proved to be too much for the team delivering a top individual score of 30 pts and team total of 114… No! No one feels sorry for them… BUT this still helped them clinch the 4th spot dropping Diamonds down even with both teams loosing.. A great effort by the Bobcats, showing that their game average of 144.75 (same as the Spartans – gotta throw that in there), IF remains, will be final contenders.

Wasps who were 2 and 0 after 2 rounds have since that time not looked close and disappointing that the week the Fantas play them they still decided to make 32 their top individual score. Peaks and troughs we hope…. I will leave Fantas alone for this week and leave their 6 and 1 record alone and speak more about how they are now 6 and 2… Good win with 134 but you wont be winning many with low 130’s (giggle snicker)

Then there was the Blue House Vs the Red House… Red House led by Brian Sankey… yes we (Spartans) were scared coming into this round, not only because we were up against a fierce captain but also their 5 and 1 record…. Alas that meant nothing and if they weren’t Red before, they most certainly are now. I’m referring to the carnage on the battle field showing a consistent 36 and 3×35’s compared to 34×2 and 33×2…. 7 point shhhlapping.

Commiserations to the losers (is that politically correct…. Wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feeeellllinnnngggsssss… sorry a bit confused with the world in not being able to call people ‘guys’ or hold people under water ;) )… and well done to the winners!
Until the next paragraph… keep hitting them clean and well, until you see the Blue House.

GPL Round 8

 

Also known as the “see I told you the Phoenix Fantas were made of butter” Round

Well well well well… what do we have here then…. Me again… hellloooo… Well if your eyes aren’t tired my certainly are!… It is at about the 1 hour mark where I start becoming disillusion (“start” you say) and speaking to the leprechaun that lives under the decking and even Chubbs gets a word in, who really doesn’t say much. At least I get less lip from him apposed to others in the shop.. no offense ZaCH (kids these days)… So I must apologize as I am unsure of which personality will come through in the next few minutes… fiddleee dee.

Round 8 was a magical round… for some.

The MenRPaws showed up to wipe embarrassment from their vocabulary and played the bottom side, winning by lots… The Green House soon forgot what it was to win and are now left a game and a half away from 2nd to bottom… Lets see the troops rally and nail the last 6 rounds!! Well done to Richard Hall (41)… not a bad one by anyone’s ruler.

Calling all Wasps… Calling all Wasps…. are you there… hellooooo!!!??? Where have you all gone!!??? 2 and 0 and now stand 2 wins 2 draws and 4 losses… Well done to the Purple house, shooting 148 once again. D Stewart (41) showed leadership and HHHOORRRAYYY to captain Rob Roy for his first appearance in the top 4 with 37 points. Don’t be shy… Someone has to play with Garry… that should be 10 bonus points right there. Or is it he plays with you and should get 10… I will let you both figure that one out.

4 played 5 with the rematch between good and evil and this time round White were the Victor. The white house was over their hang over and showed up to play with J Earl electrified with 38 points (I know, even I feel bad about that pun). It remains to me proven but since the black flag was initiated, there has been no wins… could it be cursed??? dun dun dunnnnnn.

Then there were the Fantas
……
Coming into round 8 the Phonenix Fantas stood clear on top of the ladder with a 5 and 1 record… Who was that 1 loss against you ask!!???… it was against the Blue House – SPARTANS… fast forwarding 5 months…. They talked the talk but couldn’t walk the walk since the Spratans proved that if you cut off your opponents legs it makes it hard to play very well. Not literally of course but from fear and the pressure built up over months of them WISHING to be BLUE…
I am sorry that we will not meet again. I have just been speaking to Chubbs and the leprechaun and they both agree we will not see the Fantas in the finals…. oooohhhh there is a prediction!
THEN for the real-captain to feel that he should be rested since they are “too far in front” was not a bad come back… I’ll pay that! but after the round showed 6 and 2… BOOM! CRASH!… tummmbbllinggg down, but still on top.

I could carry on more about, no heart, Fanta with no bubbles, Lucky draw, must be the ashes phase of the Phoenix, no point having a team song if you never sing it!! etc etc… but I will leave them to put the tissues away….

Until next time.
