Easter Traditions!

Easter Eggs

Talk around the Premiership has been on the Easter break and what it represents. It is a great excuse to eat chocolate. The young and buffed amongst the Buglers and Ferretts know who they are and the chance to unleash their taut frames on a nest of Eggs makes this time of year so bitter sweet. The taste of gorging on the seasons delicacy in a binge of eating that must last till next year’s Bunny visit is countered by the sense of muffin topping as they do their hourly parade shirtless in front of the full length mirrors glued to the ceiling. The need to smash some more glute inspired power squat exercise and reclaim back the “Perfect Push Up” handles to rid the guilt of that double chocolate coated egg that was devoured for breakfast. These workouts are made easier with the knowledge that 4 games in, The Buglers and Ferrets sit perched in the Top 4 and a run at the finals has the perfect foundation to build on.

The Buglers are undefeated and flying. They come back from the break to face the Cup Hunters. The Pro got a chance to view the Captain of this Hunting Team in the recent Masters and the Buglers can keep eating unless this was a sting of the finest strategy. The Cup Hunters sit in the top 4 and I am now unsure of the quality of the field. I can assume it was a tough day as I must confess, the best part of my round was the profiterole served up on the 14th tee after another soared right into the pine trees. It was full of custard and small enough to be eaten in one mouthful, no need to be sliced. If only my driver was the same.

Easter Travel

The Ferrets defense is in good shape settling in the Top 4. Defending was thought to be a difficult task as the Buglers plunged after their 2nd Premiership and the Corruptibles found the spotlight far to revealing. The Buglers took 2 seasons to rebound, the Corruptibles may need longer. Their tactics at the moment is to keep the Spiritual Leader and Music Director away and it is working. The caddies of Thailand are kept amused by their unique golfing talents. The Spiritual Leader swinging like a python trying to scratch its back with a toothpick and the Musical Director showing the balance of a Giraffe dancing to Michael Jackson on stilts. They are indeed a hit around the dinner tables of the caddy shacks at night, creating much laughter over bowls of coriander stained rice told by their exhausted golf Caddies who do not need to exaggerate for effect. The rest are hard at work climbing the ladder however the travellers are soon to return so we will see how that goes…

Easter Resurrection

The other tradition of this time is the story of resurrection. The Wanderers are proving to be the subject matter for this theme. 4 years mired in the depths of the Premiership Table has seen a loss of faith that July action actually takes place. Well they have found a track and seem to be staying on it. Looking at the points against column could let you believe that they have mastered a way of decreasing concentration in their opponents and the clever drafting at pick 4 could certainly make minds of the enemy wander. However glancing at the percentage also shows heavy scoring with only the Buglers more potent on the course so far. Heavy consistent scoring is unusual for this team but it is a new theme. They are pulverizing their opponents and the track they are on is at a dizzy height, altitude training of the highest order. They are a well balanced team with solid players and good pinch hitters. They turn up enthusiastic and are ready to take the next step. It is still early but each step they take is on the right track and it will lead them to July action if they stay on it. The Wanderers for Premiership Glory, now that would be an Easter tradition worth cracking a couple of chocolate eggs over.
