Hall of Fame #10

They say the chances of a single sperm sucessfully fertilising an ovum and the resulting pregnancy coming to term is one in twelve trillion. Since 2009, Captain Rush has managed this twice - and has only managed to win the same number of points in Beve Trophy matches. On this form, opponents have little to fear. However, dogged tenacity, unfeasible consistency from the tee and a maverick touch with the putter (on the greens, from the fairway, from a bunker, from a squirrel's asshole) make him a difficult player to beat. 

Co-originator and co-organiser of the Beve Trophy, Kev lives for the tournament. He especially likes showing up on the first tee in a fresh shirt, not the runkled black Callaway jumper he usually pulls from his bag when he arrives at the course.

 
     
Beve Trophy Rating:     
Beatable, but sticky as bonobo jizz.    

Captain Kev leads by example. Watch the ultra-slow backswing turn into pure power on the way down........

 

 


 

My Beve Profile

Name

Captain Kevin Rush aka Hormones

 

Favourite Beve Moment

Captaining the first ever Beve winners (Goldie, Grieve, Hare, Hoy, Hughes, K. Kealey, Law, Lironi, Parker, Rush, Thomson, Walker) to victory in 2009.  We were the first – no-one can ever take that away from us.  12 Beve Legends.

 

Worst Beve Moment

The pishy roll and gammon that I had for my lunch at Troon in 2008 whilst smarting from a morning defeat to Davidson and McGill.

 

Your Best Shot in the Beve

Holing a putt from off the green for birdie at the first hole in the afternoon fourballs at Dullatur in 2009 - an act of sweet revenge after getting the piss ripped out of me for being the only one to miss the green.

 

Best Shot by an opponent

Take your pick from McGill’s myriad of one-putts at Troon in 2008 to keep his team in a match they should have been pumped in long before the 18th.  Mark Davidson’s pitch under a tree in the morning was a beauty as well.  Special mention to Darragh for his pitch and run through the rough to 2 inches with a 9 iron at the 15th at Dullatur (making Bobert cry), but he was in my team so I don’t know if that’s allowed.

 

Toughest Beve Opponent

Stephen McGill in 2008. Like a half-pissed limpet.

 

Favourite Beve Story

My favourite Beve story is still David Walker coining the term Pish Cup in a pissed attempt to remember the name of the Beve.

Mantelpiece.
