Paris Duffers: Keeping it between the rhubarb and a battle of wits

Well folks, it was another exciting week on the links in Burford. We had people hitting long balls—atta boy, Cutter!—while Bergie and Sinc engaged in a true battle of wits. And remember, they’re teammates! That’s just the way she goes sometimes; par for the course. 

Big Mac and Swanny were out there tearing it up, and Big Mac can hit his irons so far that Brownie is still squinting to see where the ball landed. Meanwhile, it was steady as she goes, as per usual, with Jacque, Gerry, Kopper, and Jay all doing their part to stay out of the rough and between the rhubarb.

We had a special guest this week: Dustin Keaton made time to come out and spend it with friends, earning himself the MVP. As for the longest putt of the week? That went to Fever, who sank an absolute beauty against the grain—and uphill, no less!

That brings us to the quote of the week: "Success in golf is measured less on strength of body, and more on strength of mind and character." Well, this group is certainly a cast of characters. As for the mind? They are here, there, and everywhere!

All the best, folks. Head down and keep your eye on the ball.
