Welcome to The Bridge Crib and Pot Boys Guild's Golf Section
POT BOYS GOLF SOCIETY COMES OF AGE
Friday 8th February, 2008 saw the first venture into the European Golf Tour for the Potboys.
At the invitation of our arch cribbage rivals, the Wednesday Boys, five potboys travelled to Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club for a somewhat harrowing day which started with a splendid full English breakfast, intended to soften us up, after which we struggled to the first tee for the golf.
The breakfast trick was only the first of several dubious tactics that the Wednesday Boys tried. The next one was to give us advice about such things as the direction in which to hit the ball! But with some exceptions we didn’t fall for that one either. Also, they turned up with twice as many players including ex-pot boy Dave "the mole" Watson. But we decided that two-to-one was probably fair, especially since the Stableford scores were to be averaged.
It was a close result. All tried hard and came in with reasonable scores but our top scorer was Graham Atkins who scored a majestic 32 points and this score took our average above the Wednesday Boys so we won! We were presented with a superb trophy during after-match tea and cake.
Many thanks to John Pateman for organising a great day which we thoroughly enjoyed. A rematch on home ground in the Autumn has been agreed in principle, details to be confirmed.
STOP PRESS: There are still a few vacancies in the Golf Society.
"Golf in a Day" Friday 26th September 2002
Seven intrepid members swapped cards for clubs, pegs for pins and beer for balls as they spent a glorious day at Boughton Golf Club being tutored by Ian.
So, how successful was Ian's teaching?
The course was 9 holes, each hole was par 3, making the total par 27.

It's not the score that counts, it's the companionship and camaradary
