FocDoc Handicapper Spotted at Driving Range

Having heard the rumours that Ngy was hitting the driving range, I sent out the chief handicapper to take a look and determine whether the bookies were right in having Michael on the second line of favouritism for the FocDoc.

Early indications showed the bookies (as always) were spot on, with Ngy smashing drives down the middle, with many smacking the 250 metre post and leaving significant dents. Moving up and down the clubs, Ngy showed a mix of power and deft touch that will come in handy on the tricky courses that lay ahead.

Unfortunately the handicapper chose this moment to develop a nasty cough and blow his cover. Ngy, realising he was under surveilance, started to show an array of slices and hooks to attempt to cool the buzz. Even resorting to having Ngy Junior out drive him with a rusted 5 iron.

Sadly for Ngy, and despite his expected protestations that the above is a complete fabrication (just wait and see) he has clearly firmed in the eyes of the handicapper. Could he be the man to wrest the lime green jacket from The Eagle???

A message from the returning (2-time) champ

Following is an unedited transcript from defending champion Peter Greig's RSVP to the tournament:

"I have convinced myself that it would be more profitable to defer my overseas employment so I could defend my title. Considering the appearance money , the probability of an easy win at the golf and the quality of or lack thereof of the ahrs poker competition , it is a given that even that although singapore is lucrative your funds will amount to more. Therefore sign me up
