A-Llama-ing
It is always a colourful golfing day when you embark on a round of golf in your finest Royal & Awesome trews, regardless of what the weather decides to do. It was on a bright day that I found myself playing a 2 ball match against a friend whom I hadn’t seen for ages. A great driver of the ball but somewhat erratic he can give the appearance of playing crazy golf with some of the parts of the course he visits.
Anyway that is not the point of the tale, as fascinating as it is. We had played the first hole with slices into the rough and the sand traps. We caught up with a four ball on the second hole and waited for our chance to hit each shot. At the par three third tee the four-ball nicely let us through, fortunately we both played the hole well. We then strolled up the steep bank to the fourth tee. As we arrived there standing on the path leading to the fairway staring at us was a the strangest animal I had ever seen. It looked like a cross between a cow and a sheep. It turned out to be a naked Llama! When I say naked it was shorn on body and legs with its head fluffy. We stood debating if it was planning on moving or had seen us drive and new it was in the safest place!
He stayed, we drove, he was safe! It certainly gave us a shock and I am pleased to say the rest of the round was uneventful. Save for a comfortable win for me of 3 and 2!
