Tee Time for 24th January is 10:12

Suspicions were aroused on 17th January when a man disguised as a woman in period costume, but thought to be Martin Lythgoe, entered the bar and asked Brian for a tankard of ale, a platter of sweetbreads and a bale of hay for Black Bess. Shortly afterwards 40 points and £24 went missing from Swindle funds as the serial Herts Blagger struck again. Asked to comment on accusations of complacency in the case, investigating officer Chief Inspector Keith ''Nipper'' Martin paused on his cheese on toast, asked to borrow someone's glasses and said "where's the Worcester sauce ?''.

Runner Up: Robert Andlaw, 39 points, £14
Third: Tom Porter, 36 points, £8
Front 9: Tony Coomber, 20 points, £5
Back 9:  John Martin, 17 points, £5
