The Largey Classic 98
At the Whitley Bay Country Club

The day begins with alfresco lunch....
Annie, Matt, Jenny, Largey, Claire and Dave masticate
furiously
in front of the fish and chip shop. The others
were arrested
shortly before this photograph was taken.

Lynne demonstrates prowess with the rounders bat.
Dave, us usual, thinks
that it's all a bit too much...

Sexually enraged by the sight of Chris' bum, Clive
make a lunge...
Meanwhile, Basil imitates a dog having a pee...

After some healthy exercise playing rounders on the
beach, Clive proudly holds his ball.
And finally....on to the Classic itself !

With due obeisance* from the other competitors
Professor Stewart Fotheringham opens the proceedings
(*a bow, an act of reverence
or an expression of respect; Chambers English Dictionary)

Stewart takes the opening shot of the 1988 Classic,
observed closely
by Andy and Jenny. Basil and Deborah seem less
interested in the proceedings.

Competitors in the Classic find that their performance
is considerably enhanced
by the addition of C2H5OH to
the bloodstream.

Ever the master of pitch and putt, Stewart prepares
to belt his ball to oblivion

In spite of a terrible accident with his colostomy
bag, an intrepid
competitor plays on...

A textbook example of golfing excellence. Pity
she used a hang-gliding textbook...

Stewart admires Ian's expertise in a tricky "bunker"
situation...

Ian mistakes his ball for Basil...

Rachel continues to take a keen interest in things
