Hereā€™s what you could have won.

Too exhausted to do proper updates 10 hours 12kms a day 35C.

Big discontent in the ranks of players about the Rookie of the Year being Jon Rahm not Jordan Smith. But the players themselves changed the system last year.

Thomas Bjorn lost his clubā€™.

David Lipsky became an Aussie then back to American. Poulter swore less than usual.

Crowds are down due to no Rory or Henrik

Tour looking to increase the Prize money for next year this year player in 100th place in R2D won ā‚¬100k more than last year.

Justin should be 5 shots ahead but couldnā€™ putt for shit

I had a tug of war with a TV cable against Justin on 18th on global TV got asked to film something for the media team & got bollocks by the Tour team.

We have a DJ doing crwod selfies on 1st tee. Now to be fair that is a huge thing because it was my idea also means I now just stand there and look good all morning.

But basically it is darling hot and we are knackered. Also finding zero enthusiasm with 5am starts to go to Barasti tonight to watch us play shit against Liverpool

An epic weekend & tournament. Nobody had a clue what was happening coming down the stretch.

Justin walked off 18 looking broken Jon Rahm put a stop to the Rookie of the Year grumbles Tommy was like a abbit in the headlights & his caddy was hugging anyone and everyone

Even had a Tourist in a Saints shirt on course today.

Hell even Poulter was chatty. Will put a few of the best pics up when had a well deserved Old Speckled Hen and 15 hours sleep

Two mates of mine were there all week. Both Saints fans.

What a fuck up by Rose on the last 9.

??

Nothing gets past me out on that course.

Justin looked like heā€™d been hit by a train as he walked past me coming off 13th Green - white as a sheet. No idea if he had succumbed to a (VERY) nasty bug that is going round the guys since Africa or he was already shot away.

We had no idea what was happening - even the TV Taters. I was already in position on 18 when Tommy played his 3rd and then it all kind of kicked off when Justin came up short

Justin simply could not wait to slide out of there after his round - just looked broken - christ he even tried to shake my hand instead of his scorers.

One of mine

Alastair the official starter had a grumpy head o all weekend but is a close friend of the Fleetwood family and followed him round. He was positiively bouncing on 18th

And Tommyā€™s Caddy was going round telling everyone he was ā€œgonna be flying home in the bloody shower on the bloody planeā€

And making sure Tommy got his approach shot away (and herding cats - ie the Snappers) Me and Bob - who is also a Saints fan who came over for the weekend Bobby bought a horrific Beaney Hat thing and was doing TV scoring

And the Intimate Winnerā€™s TV Interview - donā€™t let anyone near - keep everything quiet and donā€™t let anyone takes pics please.

yes boss

Oh and yes I do make sure that Saints Fans get some perks

(In case he is your mate Tripzy)

Got Bob with Sergio

Why no pics of me with golfers?

  1. My wife was offfical snapper

  2. I was too busy chatting to the WAGS

  3. Found a new best one - not specifically for looks but because she was actuallly SO bloody POLITE. She needed some ice - came up and asked so sweetly and politely and stopped to chat for about 20 minutes as the groups were help up by Paul Dunneā€™s balls getting lost

And finally. one thing we do dow here that is unusual is to get a snapper to take pictures of all the volunteers at work.

This year nobody volunteered so I spent about 30 minutes explaining how to use a proper camera to Mrs D_P and off she went. Job done with the volunteers - they are chuffed to bits with her work.

She didnā€™t do too bad in her spare quiet moments either.

There I was thinking she was a fast learner and amazingly skilled to be able to catch them all looking at her camera.

Then one of the gang mentioned it might have been because she is blonde and was wearing a short skirt.

Which is probably why my photos have never been that goodā€¦

But she DID get one magical moment

Tommy has just dropped a shot on 17. He knew at that moment his race was over, Justin was going to winā€¦

Then they cut to Justin on the 16th holeā€¦

The moment everyone watched and when Tommy knew a Par should win it for him

Not one of them Iā€™m afraid. Both had hair.

Hang on!! I know him as well.

Thats Beano. Legendary drinker at the late, lamented, Avenue P.H. With Paul Lewis and Swaddler behind him.

Did you get them to the Berasti for the game on Saturday.

Does Bearsy shit in the woods? Of course we did :slight_smile: Apart from the football, Barasti was at its best Saturday - absolutely rammed with all the consecutive egg chasing on the big screen outside.

Beano MUST be loaded though - him and his pals actually ordered Pub Grub there :lou_eyes_to_sky:

Oh FFS.

Gonna have to get the Union involved in this one.

Looking after & goofing off with Golfers - no problem.

Acting as Security for a Boy Band sensation in the open air confines of a Golf Course?

Bollocks to that.

^^^^Who the fuck is Niall Horan?

No I havenā€™t Googled him TBH I donā€™t really careā€¦just sayinā€™

In my defence I only heard about him in the first place because he Caddied for Rory at the Par 3 in Augusta a couple of years back. Now seems to be trotted out whenever someone wants to ā€œengageā€ with a ā€œnew generation of golf fansā€ at an event.

Namely all of them

Think I should set up one of those amusing Video Goofing off things around a karaoke night.

Hmmmm

Blimey was November that long ago?

Anyway FINALLY had the bandwidth and time at work to tell the full story of DPWTC last year.

Going to be a busy few weeks but here you go - something to help with insomnia/make a change of MoPe must go posts
