Div 1 players fought hard for steady 36s, but Cox-Rogers ripped up Div 2 with a monster 42. Toss in a few 11s, some birdies, and a healthy dose of blobs — the Bank Holiday didn’t disappoint.

Martin Cox-Rogers went nuclear with 42 points, turning Div 2 into his own private PGA audition.

Some comps are close. This one was like watching a pub quiz where one guy brought the answers. Martin Cox-Rogers dropped 42 points in Div 2, which is impressive until you remember his handicap is basically a charity donation. He wasn’t playing golf; he was mugging pensioners outside the clubhouse.

Barry Carter and Ben Costello both posted 38s — Barry off 6, Ben off 18. That’s the same score, but in completely different sports. Barry’s was “precision golf”; Ben’s was “angry gardening.” Michael Cooper had 37 — steady, until he remembered it was him playing and collapsed like a Poundland deckchair.

Then the comedy section arrived. François Tosques with a 10 on the 3rd. Ten! That’s not a score, that’s how many drinks you need to forget it happened. Steve Sinnott racked up an 8 on the 8th — nice symmetry, shame about the golf. And Harry Woolner with an 8 on the 1st — his round peaked before anyone had even teed off.
