The invoice for 20 rounds of golf with 19 players eating had been paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The original order for loin of pork and crumble had to be altered as the golf club\u2019s supplier could not meet the demand for 19 portions of loin of pork, it would have to be hunters\u2019 chicken instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before we all sat down to eat, I noticed there were only 16 places laid. I quietly mentioned this to the waiting staff. Apparently, the catering manageress had not been told of there were 19 required.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There followed a wild eyed, arm waving march from the kitchen to the admin office by the manageress, followed 5 minutes later by the manager with a determined look on his face to the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I apologise to the 3 who had sausages instead of Hunters\u2019 chicken (or loin of pork). I only found out later that that was what you were served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Golf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outrageous, amazing, incredible, unbelievable, all words used on looking down the individual scores returned. Even more so when you consider the state of the course. Hurtmore fairways are usually firm and shorter than we are used to but on Thursday the fairways were like concrete, hard and barely any grass. Hurtmore seemed to be a chlorophyll free zone. Preferred lies within 2 club lengths and 200 yard 7 irons were the order of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exceptional scoring meant that the Order of Merit, for the best 3 aggregate score during the year was not as clear cut as first thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Congratulations to Dave G for his magnificent 50pts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chris Grimes followed his 48 at Slinfold with a fine 42.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grant Walters, bettered his best of the year by 13.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall 8 out of 20 rounds returned 40 or better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nearest the Pin<\/strong><em>\ue113<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>11<\/td><td>Alan
