Two Irish hunters got a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose.
They managed to bag 6.
As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only 4 moose.
The two lads objected strongly. ‘Last year we shot six. The pilot let us take them all and he had the same plane as yours.’
Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded.
However, even on full power, the little plane couldn’t handle the load and went down.
Somehow, surrounded by the moose bodies, Paddy and Mick survived the crash.
After climbing out of the wreckage, Paddy asked Mick, ‘Any idea where we are?’
Mick replied, ‘I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year.’
Pinheiros Altos – Weekly Competition
Following the final day of the Tee Times AM / AM, played in idylic weather conditions during the past week, several of the Competitors, most who are members, decided to play in the Society Competition at Pinheiros Altos GC.
Once more and contrary to the weather forecast the sun shine and provided ideal golfing conditions for the 14 players taking part.
The course as normal was in good condition and the newer 9, which we played, has now knitted in to give a substantial challenge to all, in particular on the greens where straight putts are rarely found, but are all the same pace as the older greens.
The previous weeks golf obviously took toll of some players with several only scoring in the twenty odd point area, however some came through well with Frances Falconer picking up the Nearest the Pin prize, Alison Sinnamon on 32pts, and Trevor Ward on 33pts, not quite being able to catch the winner Donald Adams on 34points
The awards for the day were presented back at the Chez Carlos Restaurant ( Clubhouse ) where all enjoyed the usual nibbles and beverage, discussing where it went well or badly wrong, just the usual postmortem we swap at the end of every round.
Next Week: Saturday 5th December – 12:50 at Laguna GC
