Competition Format:
5 rounds of 12 alternating between the Cumberland Basin and Cumberland Sausage courses, and a 6 hole final.

New Course Record:
Charlie Meade, with 31 on Cumberland Sausage.

Spirit of the Game:
Tammy Walsh, with her ubiquitous smile.

Hole-in-one:
Del on 'Skate Punk Rock Roll' (CS hole 5), under the flyover, with a sidearm.

Closest to Pin:
Dan Massey on the 12th. Fell from the trees and sat there like a well-trained spaniel.

The 'Weatherman', USA's Steve Jones gives you the low down

The Tree of Plenty:
Tony and Jester attempt to answer the question "How many items can stay up in one tree?" Lets see. First Tony's disc, then Jester's brolly, then Tony's bag...

Frank's 'Slippery Slope':
Saturday: He drives straight toward a 4 square meter window, and a last minute up-gust allows the disc to JUST miss the top of the abandoned building. Lands on the fairway. Phew. Sunday: On the same hole, one of Frank's most lovely S-curve drives, to the green.

Rich's grip lock 220: Say no more. Just duck and cover.

Giving 'Driving' a Whole New Meaning:
Apparently Charlie would rather be driving the A370 than driving discs. In the final, first he hooks up on to the A370 ("That's OB!"), then, two holes later, while trying to go over the A370, he hooks it into the River Avon ("quack, quack").

The Long and the Shorts:
Kudos to Tom Soper for giving us our first glimpse of knees this season, when he arrived on the sunny Sunday morning in a smart pair of shorts.

Jester's Magnificent Seven:
In the final, on 'Slippery Slope', our Scottish hero fires a stonking drive, followed by 1 (ooh), 2 (ouch), 3 (wow), 4 (yikes) missed putts before finally hitting the tree. Below the tape (holy mackerel). After promptly rolling down the hill, one more to hole out with a crowd-displeasing 7 (finally).

'SPAGHETTI JUNCTION', a unique hole:

"Mum, Look out the Window!": Sitting in a Sunday morning traffic jam, several spectators were having a laugh while being educated about how not to putt. The pin of Spaghetti Junction (hole 8 on both courses) is surrounded by motorway, and they were audibly laughing out of their cars when Del, followed by Tom, followed by Charlie missed sitters.

Prat Fall:
"Don't worry," says Steve to his group, "I'll spot". After Tammy's drive hits the motorway and gets run over, the disc rests in the middle of traffic. Steve dashes out to retrieve it, only to lose his footing, land on his ass, grab the disc and run to safety. After the moment of terror passed, he found it rather amusing, too.

"Fuckwit! Twat Bastard!":
For some unknown reason, these epithets were enthusiastically hurled at Mr. Jones by a passing motorist while he was attempting to hole out. Maybe it's those damned trousers? For the record, he missed the putt.
