Closest to the pin - Mr Hutchison

Demonstrating once for all that size does not matter Dave "Has he swung yet?" Hutchison hit a mighty 3 wood (where others hit 7 iron) to six feet to claim his closest to the hole prize at the 15th. Unfortunately he four putted, threw his putter up a tree andwas forced to use a driver (16th), wedge (17th) and umbrella (18th) on the remaining greens.
Oh well, at least he got some shiny balls to play with!

Hey Big Swinger!

The flush of having the longest drive was too much for Stuart and a smelly tommy squeaker escaped from below. Both he and Duncan were physically rocked back on their heels, Stuart almost passing out onto the cameraman!

STAG Winner, 2005

Nice Quaich, Big Boy!
The only person ever to win the singles more than once (2002, 2005). The only person who the jacket actually fits! The only person to bring his handbag to the golf day. The Viking conquered again - just hope he kept the raping and pillaging to a minimum!!!!

Winning Captain 2005 - Mr Graeme Ross

The exchange....
With a somehow disgruntled look to his face and a resigned sigh it was with deep regret that the Mighty White Captain of 2004 (G. Husband esq.) handed over the gargantuum (spelling!?!) Reider Cup into the hands of that scallywag Black Captain (G. Ross esp.). The defeated white captain (D.Gunnee lsd.) can just about be seen to the left sobbing into his hands - although quite how Mr Ross' mantlepiece will hold that piece of silverware we do not know.....

Test Photo

This photo has nothing to with the Reider Cup but I just wanted to test the functionality (or otherwise) of adding a photo to the site. Plus it's a good opportunity to see the petted lip of Dr. T that was so prevalent last Saturday.

Blacks are BACK baby!

The Viking

Lucky Black Heather

Quick Post.
Well Done Blacks - you had to get lucky one of these times. At least you cannot say it is only the White Team that get the good golfers in (I am pretty sure most of the low handicappers were in your team).
Seriously though well done - nice to see Mr Ross coming off the 18th green with a smile on his face.
All the photos from this year will be accessible once I get my finger out (so next year sometime).
Roll on next years White Dawn when we draft in our previous "Cinderella Boys" to sort you Black Beauties out.....
