We did have time to conduct a short interview with her and managed to ask a few questions on Bumwells warm up and preparations for this years SCC competition.
"Well, its been an interesting time for him. Normally i dont see Pete at this time of year due to all of the promo and charity work he does to get in the right frame of mind. This year though, i couldn't get him out of the house. He seems to be a broken man, sitting and staring at that wooden spoon monstrosity. He's in a dark place, he just keeps quivering and chanting "blob, blob, blob". I even tried to feed him some Guinness from his 5 time winning tankard, and he just spat it out saying it tasted like defeat. Im sure that his return to Aberdovey will be just the thing he needs, as i know the last time he was there he was speechless for days!"
Bumwell - who has been in and out of the Priory since the last SCC competition is now said to be in a stable condtion and has managed to reach 1 1/2 pints of Pimms a day before his practise rounds, hoping to get back to the 2 pints for this years comp. Butch had this to say, " he seems to be hitting it consistenty passed the ladies, which is a marked improvement since the last time he appeared at the Dovey."
On the contoversial question of the number of balls Bumwell lost he had this to say, "look ... i dont know if it was 12, 14 or 18, what ever it was, it was a lot. Pete knows this, the public know it and i know it. We have to put the past in the past and look towards this years comp and i can say that i am fully confident he will definately not lose more than 20, and for me thats a good thing. Yes his pre-SCC warm up for this year has been ropey at best, i mean starting with a triple bogey on the first comp of the year without losing a ball is always gonna get you down, but he's just gotta go out there and enjoy himself and not play like a total twat, which for him is going to be difficult."
For now all we can say is good luck to all the SCCers and may the best team win!
