Pigz+ Golf MISREP – ‘Carbrook GC’ – 10 Feb 26

The opening match of 2026 saw three teams pitch up at Carbrook GC, home of the bull sharks; twas a warm summer’s day, thankfully not as brutally humid as last year.   Crikey, high inflation bites, a new record for sharing a golf cart $27.50 @ but at least the 19th hole beer prices were fairer …

The ‘Knucks’ welcomed back Tardo with his rehab’d hip replacement, showing you can’t keep a good fighter pilot down, unlike Kombat who suddenly quit and went AWOL late last year !  According to Frank, it din’t stop him being the ‘longest’ driver in their group.  Their team played well with one eagle, but a bogey & a few missed putts saw them finish in a respectable 2nd place.

‘Woodsy’s Warriors’ with two AEOs, including Curly still going strong at 87, and their secret, anti-boggy weapon, Casper, started overwhelming favourites on SportsBet; but as usual the punter’s curse was too much for their team.  They struggled to 1-over after the first six holes and despite a barnstorming finish and a multitude of missed putts, drives and pink-ball throws couldn’t catch the Knucks & Pig NAVs.

Well played everyone, a couple of chip-ins and three long-range putts tipped the scales in favour of the Pig NAVs; we had one of those AMBROSE games where everyone in the team contributed at vital stages 💵

Pigz+ Golf – ‘The Miracle @ Minnippi’ – 18 Nov 25

A sensational edition of Pigz+ golf on display, with three evenly matched four-ships battling it out at Minnippi GC.

26C, light breezes & perfect course conditions saw the golf ball running a lot more than when we last played when the course was waterlogged, resulting in the lowest modified-Ambrose scores ever shot in the history of Pigz+ Golf!

What a tight contest as the scores show with lots of birdies & eagles from both teams.   Either score of 14,15, 16 under par would normally win in a canter, but today the best shot on the Minnippi track was BJ’s miraculous albatross, fittingly the shot that won his team the prize pool !!!

Team 1 considered lodging a protest when Woodsy phoned Boggy, who forgot to mute his mobile,  to report the ‘miracle @ Minnippi’, thus distracting Boggy’s putt for birdie from short-range, resulting in a yipped miss 😡.     OK …. the first part was true, Woodsy called and went the early crow 🤣

Well played everyone, Team 2’s albatross was an epic way to win, congrats Woodsy, Frank, BJ & Blakey 💵

P.S.  Woodsy later revealed more detail of BJ’s actual miracle shot at the 12th hole, through the trees, check out the last photo 👌

P.P.S.   Frank was so ‘cock-o-hoop’ he wants to pay off the BLUE Tees next time; noted, careful what you wish for Francois !
