10th July Captain’s Charity Challenge Birdie Fest
This week’s Charity Challenge featured myself and Oli Grant (0) versus Julien Robinson (2) and Adam Grant (8).
A grey heavy air greeted us at the Whitefield course and it remained muggy all day, with a steady hour or so of rain during the golfing excursion.

Oli started 3,3,3 but the game remained very level right through to the end. Julien and Oli both birdied the 7th and 12th, Julien the 10th and even after the 14th it was all square.
The conversation and banter flowed from start to finish, with every topic under the sun dissected and discussed. The other three were keen to tell me how much they’d just enjoyed a trip to links courses in mid Wales. The friends were very gracious and polite to their Captain throughout, culminating in a generous gimme at the final hole.
Thoroughly enjoyable, and we managed to finish off portions of Lisa’s buck rarebit, washed down with Peroni, back at the Spike Bar.
