1) The cup itself was on display - last year's winners were "Darchie" - but the cup itself only had Dan's name engraved on it - Archie's name was stuck on with tape as an obvious afterthought.
2) Dick's episode getting locked out of his room in his bathrobe has already been made legend by Dan's ode (see earlier blog postings).
3) Richard managed to hit one of the many large cranes on the course - no, not mechanical ones - the birdie kind.
4) Friday's organisers decided in their infinite wisdom, that, when the daily winner had to be decided by countback, they would break with established precedent (set initially by Ken P at Penina in 2003) that, when the course is played back to front, the best score on holes 10-18 would be the deciding factor. Syd and Malcolm thought it should be the last 9 holes played - in this case holes 1-9 - but, they made a complete mess of it and accidentally awarded it to me - I had 20 points on holes 10-18, but only 12 on holes 1-9. It only dawned on them at dinner that evening.
5) Syd also had another couple of mentions, including asking a young mother whose twins were in the pram, if this was her first?
6) Dick, however, compounded his earlier errors when he added a couple more, including losing a banana down his golf bag, which necessitated upending the bag off the buggy and spilling all his clubs on the ground before the offending fruit came out.
We replayed the videos of Dan's ode to Dick and then awarded the Wee Cup to him:
Dick, sportingly, modelled the pose that the maintenance man must have seen:
I then donned the shirt the guys bought for me for organising the trip (over my other shirt, I hasten to add!):
