Not.

It was the retired miners do yesterday afternoon and the bingo Caller was late so Tashyboy volunteered his services. Easy peasy lemon squeezy I thought. Firstly the machine, THERES NO BALLS. What's that all about, we have gone electronic just press that button and your number comes up. So off we went with a room full of pensioners glaring at you. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife. We were playing for a bottle of wine a line and QC sherry for a full house. You would of thought we were playing for diamonds. Off we went, both the twos 22. " where's the little ducks", 1 and 6 sixteen, where's me sweet 16. It was flippin nerve racking. The first line was called and a was told I should of said 23 instead of 25 coz that's what someone wanted. Next year someone else can do it. It was the second worst job, the worst, giving out the trifle. We have been told that Next year we have got to get bigger bowls.
I would sooner have a 4 ft putt for a Half on the 18th.
 
On big events, Pro Am, County Events etc. I used to announce the players onto the tee from a quiet corner of the balcony with the first tee 60 yards away. After many years I had it down to a fine art. One of my directors said that he always wanted to do that job so I handed over to him and went for a pee break.

I came back to hear 'and the next lot of golfers hitting off from the tee are....'
He could not understand why everyone started laughing at him.

Best laugh I had was when announcing Jane Brooke-Taylor, I followed up with 'and for those wondering---yes she is'.

Funny how sometimes easy looking jobs are not that easy.:lol:
