Yes - 13 weeks gone already - only 10 left now - and we're past the longest day, so it's definitely all downhill from here as far as daylight is concerned - but surely the weather will get better - it must, mustn't it?
Hugh had the misfortune of playing with me last night, so when he made a mistake at the Doo'cot and duffed his tee shot just a few yards, the camera was there at the ready:
Rob presented the winner's ball to Ken before he had to dash off:
Amazingly, it was Ken's first win for over 7 years!
Scores have been very poor this year and, frankly, the Quaich's anyone's to win - nobody has any decent scores. There have only been three 40-pointers all season and the current top 10 shows me leading, but believe me, it's only because I've played 10 games - all Dick has to do is turn up next week and he'll be at the top of the pile - at least for a week:
| Top 10 | Total | Ave. | Wins | DoD's | Apps. | ||
| 1 | Stewart, Ian | 323 | 323 | 32.3 | 1 | 10 | |
| 2 | Simpson, Jack | 310 | 333 | 30.3 | 1 | 11 | |
| 3 | Taylor, Dick | 306 | 306 | 34.0 | 2 | 9 | |
| 4 | Sharp, Ian | 292 | 292 | 32.4 | 1 | 9 | |
| 5 | Pollard, Rob | 291 | 291 | 29.1 | 2 | 10 | |
| 6 | Bhagrath, Jas | 251 | 251 | 31.4 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
| 7 | McRae, Ian | 249 | 249 | 31.1 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
| 8 | Black, Ken | 231 | 231 | 33.0 | 1 | 7 | |
| 9 | Grant, Gary | 231 | 231 | 33.0 | 1 | 7 | |
| 10 | Meaden, John | 230 | 230 | 28.8 | 2 | 8 |
To put it all in to context, my winning score last year was 391 - that's 68 points more than I've got just now - I'd have to average 39 points per week for the remaining 10 weeks to equal last year's score.
Come on somebody - make a challenge - this could be your year.
