Buffoon of the Month and Buffoon of the Year

The Last Hoorah is infamous for its unremitting mockery of any moment of folly, and boasts the first ever recorded "Buffoon of the Month" award. The monthly contenders of 2005 below were duly put into a ballot for the 2005 Buffoon of the Year and comprised:

1 Chartham (26/1/5) NM falling to cries of "Man down"
2 Memories Of India (24/2/5) PB for failing to turn up at his own event
3 Mannings Heath (24/3/5) PB again failing to turn up without explanation, after talking a good game
4 Piltdown (28/4/5) PB for rookie-spoofing at the world's most expensive curry house
5 La Foret (25/5/5) NM - Monsieur Du Six Fromages
6 Hever (20/6/5) PB - The "new shoes" incident
7 East Sussex (7/7/5) DA inexplicably travelling to the HOOM venue via Crowborough
8 Crowborough (10/8/5) HO after talking a big game hooking his first drive into the woods and generally playing like a buffoon
9 Mannings Heath - Waterfall (27/9/5) HO leaving car keys on display in boot and chasing round MH in a buggy for a missing club that was in PB's bag all the time
10 Mannings Heath - Kingfisher (27/9/5) DA's four putting on several occasions with the legendary mashie niblick
11  Lewes (25/10/5) The bearded anorak prick in the resto complaining about ASBO's laugh

And the winner was .... by unanimous accord (even of the winner) ... Paul "Sammy" Barnes for his legendry rookie spoofing at the Uckfield curry house.

Sammy has with great humility acquired and presented the pink beret, proudly shown above, to be worn by the holder on the first tee box and 18th green of the following monthly event.

Given that it is doubtful his efforts at Uckfield Curry House will be ever be bested, it has been decided by the Webmeister that the Pink Beret will remain with Sammy until further notice.

In March 2009, DA graciously bought Le Pink Better Numero Deux which was immediately grabbed by PE for his astonishing juggling of dates for the Addy Spring Cup 2009!
