Golf Central

What the…: I know, I know, I missed a day.
Any excuses?: None that would stand up in court.
Get on with it then: OK. Sion Bebb took full advantage of earning his tour card in Q School last week by taking the lead after the first day.
I know him: Really?
No, but my dad was best mates with his father in Friars School, Bangor: Thanks, can I get on with it now?
By all means…: He remains tied for third, but the leader outright is South African Omar Sandys at 8-under, with England's Lee Slattery two shots behind at 6-under.
What's the story with Sandys?: He's a proper Sunshine Tour journeyman, who spent the previous evening under the bonnet of his car, fixing his clutch.
Did he succeed?: He did, as it happens.
Slattery's just lost his tour card, hasn't he?: Yes, by just 77 euros. He's too good to be gone for long, though.
How's Ernie getting on?: He's tied third with Bebb, John Bickerton, Richard Bland, Craig Lee and Titch Moore at 5-under. Darren Clarke's there or thereabouts too, tied 15th at 2-under.
Mpumalanga sounds very exotic doesn't it…: It used to be called the Eastern Transvaal. It means 'the place where the sun rises' in Swazi.
You learn something new every day: You do if you're not all that bright…
