...i never heard this story   in this way  ever before, filip s voice was louder than normal speaking voices

A bar member of the club sitting on a stool turned to look at the source of that loud voice , it was a fruendly argument of friends so he did not give it much importance  and cheerfully engrossed  himself in conversation with a sportsman  beside him 

As usual the weekend morning  drew more crowds of club members and golf players  the spaces quickly filled up leaving no space to squeeze in  more crowds

Club members had been present in the dining hall for quite some time , second rounds of drinks were circulating , they sat by the glass window watching at the  grounds outside clearly , some players were still there playing golf , both filips and mike had finished their golf  sessions early  that weekend morning and now sat there enjoying their drinks in the golf club bar  gossipping
