In what will hopefully be the first of many outings for the Inmeres team (hint hint Guillaume), we were encouraged to put down our mice and keyboards and pick up some golf clubs. Julien was back in the country for a couple of days, so the whole team made their way to the pitch and putt for a summer’s evening of pitching, and indeed putting (and putting, and putting…).

None of us are exactly pro, but whereas there were two team members with absolutely no experience what so ever, there were also a couple who fancied themselves (just a little bit) as golfers. Competition was fierce, and Tom risked his job by taking an early lead over Guillaume. In fact, he still hadn’t given in after the first 9, where the two were equal on 36 strokes.

Meanwhile the rest of us were basically trying not to come last. One of us, who shall remain nameless. had not even been aware that pitch and putt and crazy golf are two different things. Though, judging by our performances, you’d be hard-pressed to tell.

So after over two and a half hours of play, who emerged victorious? Well, the boss had to win didn’t he, or else we might not go again! Read the sorry details below.

And, me? Last. But I’m not bitter – I was concentrating on the chinese we were all going to have afterwards. Maybe next time I won’t be so distracted.
