Review by Stu Brompton

Over the weekend of November 15th and 16th Team DDT hosted there first social event at the Big Sheep Family Enterainment Park.

Ten players arrived at the Big Sheep to take part in this inaugural tournament. The format was agreed at the Players Meeting, accompanied by equally agreeable bacon sarnies and coffee. Splitting into small groups we started our first round of singles stroke play and to much delight of the newer players of Team DDT witnessed Derek Robins destroying the existing course record by a massive 9 shots, closely followed by Bud Tilton 2 shots behind.

Squeeky Collier's very near Ace on 'The Dugout' was one of the most memorable shots of the weekend. TD Stuey Brompton also shot a first round under the old course record just one shot behind Collier. Further down the rankings a great battle was shaping up with 10 shots seperating four players from Team DDT.

Lunch was back at the Big Sheep, where the course was reflected on by the visitors. One change to the course was agreed and it was back out for a round of doubles stroke play (best shot). Again, the course record was smashed by Britain's no.1 player Derek Robins.

Evening entertainment was laid on by Chris and Lee who kindly put people up their home for visitors. Later in the evening, a Playstation2 challenge was set down by Team DDT. Colin McCrae's Rally allowed Team DDT to get some of their own back on the disc golf experts. Robins + Tilton may be able to drive a golf disc masterly, but rallying a Ford Focus is a drive they are both far from mastering! Tilton's first race actually took a shade over 16 mins compared to the world record of 4 mins!

On Sunday morning, the players again met at the Big Sheep for more bacon sarnies and more coffee. The groups were decided and singles stroke play commenced. Robins again smashed the course record taking it to an amazing 42 with Bud 5 shots behind.

After lunch, it was doubles stroke play (best shot). This drew a Team DDT grudge match; a contest between four players - Stuey and the Birdcage against Chris and Lee. A small wager was placed and the battle commenced. Stuey and the Birdcage shot a respectful 45, just 4 shots over Robins' and Baz's new course record of 41. Chris and Lee folded under the pressure and finished with a 50.

The awards were presented at the pub!
