Glen v Seniors report

Seniors v The Glen Report

The chosen few arrived at the Glen met by a dreich grey sky, wind, and drizzle. Undaunted they attacked the bacon rolls with the passion we expect from the Seniors. Sunglasses were needed on the first tee though when Glen skipper Rab arrived wearing a rather fetching pair of Bermuda shorts above his nobbly knees. Decorated with. bright green shamrocks he obviously mistook Gary for Leprechaun Jimmy O’Neill! 

Kilspindie trolleys started misfiring on the fairways when they encountered a strange substance we don’t find at KGC, apparently called mud. The golf was going well as our boys enjoyed the fine views but kept to the task sinking a few putts on very good greens, hats off to the greens staff. Our skipper was particularly taken with the vista at the signature 13th and suggested to Rab that they should take a selfie standing on the rocks (no pun intended). With the interesting shorts perhaps it could be displayed in the KGC clubhouse beside the pictures of Harry Vardon and Jimmy Braid, similar high achievers! While this was going on Rab’s partner Ian’s trolley made a break for freedom and couped over the cliff, apparently not the only escapee on the day. They managed to retrieve the runaway without the embarrassment of calling out the RNLI. Will we ever see that starry eyed picture??? 

As the day wore on and players returned to guzzle their Katsu Curries and Burgers, it began to unfold that the match was close. Sadly Al Carmichael had to leave the course injured but not until he and big John R had secured a point for the cause, get well soon Al. 

So with everyone home except the Robertson twins (not quite the Kray’s more the Chuckle Brothers) Ron and Tony, Kilspindie’s Mr. Motivator, the score sat at Glen 2 KGC 3. Nail biting ensued, interspersed with the odd spoonful of the most wonderful trifle. Observers scoured the dreich vista looking for The Lost Boys. Then out of the haar something white began to appear, yes it was Tony’s considerable moustache, they had survived. Their result was a halved match and a Kilspindie win Glen 2½ KGC 3½. Well done team. Tony was last seen trying to get the yellow Katsu out of that fine moustache.
