<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to stay like this until Masters raise my handicapt to 49!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Here are the not-so-lucky captions we  received . . .</p>
<p><span id="more-1384"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;I left Dave Witehira a choice of two reds&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;It&#8217;s tough at the top&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Dear God.  I wonder if you could just let me use this crutch as a cue, then I might be able to hit the bloody ball.&#8221;</li>
<li>Looks like Ron enjoys watching safety play too!&#8221;</li>
<li>Time to go home Ron, tournament&#8217;s over!&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Honestly, Wayne, this game of human chess you&#8217;ve got us playing is putting me to sleep faster than it takes you to make a cannon!&#8221;</li>
<li>Ron realised that his new snooker cue wasn&#8217;t producing the expected results.</li>
<li>A break in time.</li>
<li>These aids are sure tiring.</li>
<li>Rip Van Milicich cradling his latest Predator Cue in readiness for the Handicap Tournament.</li>
<li>All those years and all those titles.</li>
</ul>
