The Great Gowran Golf Challenge.

This golf challenge took place yesterday it featured two teams of three,Men of the World comprising of Huddys,Norn Iron and Workrider versus The Listeners comprising of Galway59,Bobbybocala and Bigwillystyle.A small crowd congregated to watch this grudge match,two bookmakers appeared Tocky Junior and Win only S.P only,Tocky Junior priced them up 1/2 each of two Workrider tendered a 100 euro to a pale Tocky Junior who suddenly screamed.....no no thats gone he has it.....pointing to an empty space.Workrider moves on to Win only S.P. only he is on the phone to Victor screaming....what will i do...Workrider realises no betting here as he moves away he hears Tocky Junior say to his colleague....not a bet in the kip.
The first match out was Huddys against Galway59,this was a non event as Galway59 was all over the place an easy victory for the steady Huddys.The second match out was Norn Iron against the diminutive Bobbybocala,Norn Iron boomed his first drive like a cricketer hitting a spin bowler for six,like the first match Norn Iron won the first and was never headed.All the fireworks were in the final match Bigwillystyle whose voice was a cross between Philip Walton and Alan Ball started well Workrider was steady tee to green but three putted the first and third and was four down playing the eight.Bigwillystyle was crowing and playing to the small gallery,Slickster was jumping up and down and seemed to be doing an impression of the Bird ODonnell,Robo was strangely silent.On the par three eight Workrider drilled a six iron to eight feet and holed the putt for a fine birdie.Bigwillystyle now only three up trudged over to the ninth tee his pale face had now turned puce,he was sweating profusely,his hands were shaking,Robo had seen this before the big choke was taking place again.Bigwilly could not get the tee into the ground up stepped Slickster to help but know Bigwillys hands were shaking so violently he could not place the ball on the tee again Slickster helped,first shot was a fresh air,Bigwilly turned to Workrider and croaked...,that was a practice swing.......Workrider nodded he knew the game was over.Bigwillystyle lost the next three holes so match all square he was now having difficulty breathing,Slickster and Robo had slunk off,he croaked...i cant go on....Workrider said ...lets call it a half...they walked in Bigwillystyle suddenly recovered shouted over in his Cork whine...got a half....to his two colleagues.
Meanwhile there are three formidable looking ladies outside the club house waiting.......did ye win ....they cry.three disconsolate gentlemen shake their heads.......no mammy.....they say in unison......have ye the money...Workrider thinking discretion is needed here waves his hand saying....we dont want your money,we all enjoyed the game...and departed to the sound of cuffs being delivered and a shrill voice saying....no more computers for ye...
So for all you fans of The Listeners if they dont post for a few days you will know why.
