Little more than a fortnight ago I muttered the thought that "I'd be surprised If you ever beat me" to one Funkmaster in the form of an email. It was, of course, to do with that wonderfully entertaining sport- Golf. Now Funkmaster is of course capable of playing golf, recording hilarious victories over N dub dub for the past 18 months now, but today it was my turn.Yes, the strong grip I once had on Funkmaster's mental game disintigrated with nothing more than a whimper. The kid not only showed that he could match what i did, but excelled it on more than one occasion, just to rub salt into my gushing wounds.
Gone are the days of funkmaster looking like a dancing octopus stuck to a windmill, on acid, on a blustery winters day- what we are left with is something that *almost* looks in control. a smooth *almost* graceful swing and temperament t'boot.
This was not a fluke. He beat me. When i holed out from 11 metres for birdie on 6, he holed out from 10 metres.. And so it went. Granted i played a horrendous front 9, but my back 9 was solid and i stil couldn't pull the kid in, such was his dominance. I'm just glad he played well and beat me, as opposed to him shooting 98 and me shooting 99, or something equally shit.
I am known to pull out the well oiled phrase "can't win em all" from time to time and i guess with the form of N dub dub of late, someone else was going to have to step up to the tee to beat me before I was to mutter that favourite phrase of mine.
SO, well done funkmaster. Impeccable golf today. An 85 under extreme pressure is a fantastic achievement- I'm just glad I was there to see you master those greens up at lofty. If i was wearing a hat- I'd take it off to you.
Let me sign off with... "can't win em all" and "I'd be surprised if you ever beat me..... again"
your humbled blogger,
Ricardo Del Sanjay

funkmaster, i salute you
As of Saturday the 10th November, (one day), Normal service is resumed.. yesssssssssss
humbled indeed, ricardo.
maybe its time to rack up a few hours at the driving range with that fable 5 iron.
or perhaps the pressure is on to do the unthinkable - use a wood!?!?
by the way, how did you get a picture of Scmidtty's mail-order bride before she arrived?
nah, woods are over rated.
besides, i pulled out the 3 wood a couple of times recently. one on the par 5, which was from the top of the hill and ended up pin high to the right and another which went an awe inspiring 210 metres.
Rest assured i can hit it my boy- in fact i love the feeling of a nice long wood in my hands- it's just that i get enough of that at home.. on the course, i'd rather something new, and iron it is.. after all i'm not bionic man.
