All set for a
quacking day |

Very eggcelent! |

Keith prepares the
Champion's morning drink - Pernod, lime & lemonade.....at
6am....! |

Matt is a little
stunned after the first taste... |

It makes a change
from dancing round their handbags. |

...and the taste
takes Shiner by total surprise!
But 'two-shirts' Rambo is hardly phased. |

This year we
welcome a couple of 'new' faces: Clive Sadler & Bal Banga. |

Everyone assembles
for the usual ol' talk. |

Don't tell Ron! |

While Mark offers
a word of encouragement, Keith starts us off. |

After purposely
winning the Port, Marky is buzzin. |

The preparation is
all over as we look back down the 1st. |

We all have our
own styles - that's swing and hair! |

Wal, the 2002
champion, likes to give everyone a yard or two head start. |

The swing of our
2008 winner. |

Another swing - of
sorts! |
...and a few
more...
  
  
  

That's quite
enough of them!
|

Stylish, trendy,
suave, witty, intelligent... what a bloke!
Then there's Gary.....! |
|
Oh, just one more
swing shot;
note the concentration as the club-head comes through...

|
...to a well
controlled finish.

Ok Dodge, he's
taken the photo.
The fact that the ball's only just gone past the ladies tee
doesn't matter! |
|
Oh what the heck,
here's some more....
  
  
  

OK - that's
definitely enough!
|

Oh dear, what have
we here Mr J?
Thinking you could hide it in a bush and get away with it? |

Dave has found a
very safe place to keep his egg! |

Another Quid for
charity! |

There's something
special about helping your mate look for his favourite tee... |
|
And so to the
prize-giving... |
| |

Wally hands over
the Shortest Drive to Bal |

Paul passes the
Longest Drive to Steve, who mullered any previous record! |

Ian hands over
Ron's Bull's Eye to Lee with a broad smile - I wonder why???? |

Is this really an
Isle of Wight shirt? |

Smile #2 for
passing on The Gritter |

Smile #3 - they're
getting bigger! |

The Plum Bowl
finds a worthy home |

Preston wins the
Furthest Drive! |

Bal whips it out
of Kev's hands before he can complete the hat-trick |

The prize for the
most birdies... |

Past their
best-before date!
|

The real birdie
prize takes a dive!
|

At least he's got
one bird under control!
|

Smile #4 - One
happy man! |

Another new
winner!
But where's the smile gone?
Perhaps this is Ian's
'Council-Representative-posing-for-the-Gazette' face...
Or is he ready for the Happy Bus? |

He's been dreaming
of this for years! |
