How very 80s.  A company golf day.  A W+K golf day at that.  It doesn’t sound quite right, somehow. 

But the fact of the matter is that quite a few of us, and our clients, like playing golf.  Despite some of us being pretty cack at it.

So we had our second annual golf day yesterday, down at East Sussex National.  It was lots of fun.

But, just to prove we really don’t get the client golf thing, W+K folk won all the prizes.  No ‘oops, missed that put by four feet, congratulaions Mr Marketing Director’ type thing.

Art director Chris Groom blitzed everyone off the leaderboard, Tiger-style, with a suspicious round of just nine over (playing off a handicap of 15).  Banditry of the highest order.  But I’m just jealous because I (Stuart) came second.  Chris won the longest drive competition (a test of brute force bludgeoning and technology) whilst I won the nearest the pin (a test of deft artisty).

Copyrighter Ben Walker (defending champion no less, and, indeed, no more) completed the clean sweep for the agency, by gloriously trouncing the rest to win the wooden spoon.  Oh, and also the shortest drive (on the first).  Perhaps he was just doing the ‘letting the client win’ thing after all.  A lot.
