I'll never forget one of the Gainsborough trips I organised. James (Justone) had made up a load of cigarettes before one of the rounds, and somebody, I think it was Cameron, had secretly inserted an exploding joke thing in one of them. With every cigarette that James lit up, you could sense us stifling our childish giggles in anticipation of it going off ?????
I think it finally did on the 16th hole.
How he laughed ????

Remember it well. We are booked for the annual Gainsborough shindig again at the beginning of August, but I fear it's looking unlikely to happen.
 
As Robin seems reluctant to respond, I'll give my version of events...........

Playing on the Marquess course at Woburn, we had decided to hold a yellow ball competition.
Looking at the scorecard, and checking handicaps, it was decided that Fish would take the yellow going down the 1st, as this meant he would be receiving shots on the 5 holes he would be in possession of the ball. Common sense...........and our teams confidence was high with Fish's twin statements of "I am playing well at the moment" and also that the 1st hole "suited his baby draw".
Up steps Fishy, took a couple of immaculate practice swings and then lunged at the ball. Where it went, nobody knows. None of his playing partners saw it, neither did the starter.
We spent the full 5 minutes looking for it, to no avail. All the time Robin was getting more and more wound up, complaining that he couldn't believe how none of the four of us had seen where it had gone.
In retrospect, it doesn't seem that funny, but at the time I was pissing myself, and this was despite the fact that we were now out of the yellow ball competition with only one of our team members having actually "touched" the ball.

Another great moment, which again involved Robin, was when we were playing at Blackmoor.
My fourball were walking down the long par 3 15th when we spotted Robin in the middle of the 14th fairway. He had obviously hit a decent drive and was waiting for the green to clear to play his approach. While we were waking down, we watched him take half a dozen (if not more) practice swings, and we were level with him by the time he was able to play. We stood and watched, and he took the biggest divot I have seen in my life. You could almost hear the moles screaming. The divot (which must have weighed a good few lbs), went 50 yards, his ball no more than 10. He just stood there looking up at the sky, when I made what I thought was a very innocent remark..... "nice drive though Robin". His scream of "F*ck off" told me that he had taken it the wrong way.........:eek::eek::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
Two more that always make me laugh when I think about them.
Gainsborough GC. Preet (LIG) had played two immaculate shots to get on one of the par 5's in two. He was soooo chuffed, walked up to the green proper pumped up. Eventually stood over his 20 foot putt and 3 minutes later walked off with a 5 putt 7!!

And ChrisD (again at Blackmoor) where I was partnering him in a match. He got on the notoriously difficult par 4 10th in 2. I had made a mess of the hole and with my partner safely on the green picked up my ball for what would have been a guaranteed 6, thinking he had a good chance of making 4, 5 at worst. He proceeded to 5 putt and blob the hole...... it was funny. We all laughed except him. He didn't think it was amusing. Ne
Never did have a sense of humour that bloke....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D:D:D:D:D

1st story - Funny, I was in the group in front of your group for the Woburn meet and I think you were still ribbing Fish more than halfway round the course

2nd story - it wasnt funny! ??..... and the 2nd shot to get on the green was a stunner. Add to that, when we walked to the next hole Liverpoolphil was behind me taking the proverbial, I had my driver out and jabbed it back and probably hit the best ball I'd done since the shot that put me on the 10th ??

That was a poor attack on my partner. Couldn't you have done it harder.:LOL:
 
I was in the group that Homer, some would say maliciously:sneaky:, drove into on the 17th green at Camberley.....how KNOB got written on his golf ball in green sharpie i cannot recall :unsure::censored:
Yep Chris was well out of order!!! From memory it was his second shot, to a green with people still putting out on??? finished 3 feet away, great shot. Shame he missed the putt ????

He was a shaking mess...
 
I'm sitting here still laughing my head off thinking about James's exploding fag lol!!! That sums up my sense of humour more than anything else I think
??????????

I had rigged about 5 of them and he was not a happy man. I think he almost gave up smoking for the rest of the trip....

Funny how you're in so quick to point the finger... :unsure: Methinks you doth protest too much ;)

Anyway, I'm sorry but I have to defend Chris from this scurrilous attack on his good name. :mad:

It couldn't be him, he can't spell KNOB. (y)

"Good name?!" If he was called Fred or George he'd have a good name, but Chris is so yesterday, so common.;):ROFLMAO:
 
Not guilty Your Honour - my golf bag would never be sullied with a "green Sharpie" and I was in shock at how close to killing me was Homer's ball.
 
As mentioned before the KoK finals day at Hillside is my top memory.
Had never met Hobbit , Pokerjoke or RickG but by the second hole felt we'd been life time buddies, golf was in and out but the banter and pranking was non stop and had us stitches at times. Rick coined a new phrase when another putt failed to drop " didn't read enough turnage "
Been lucky to play with Pokerjoke since and hope to again one day and hope to catch with Hobbit when we retire :D
