We've just played and won our first group match:
paulmcm & cyl6 1 up against kam4122 & nickolijj.
A very tight game that went down the last.
The first 3 holes were halved with Birdies, pars, birdies. Monty did have a chance to win the 2nd, but got metered on his putt.
On the 4th we had the front pin with wind against and all 4 players made the green but with very tricky putts.I was first to putt from 14ft and holed it, monty and jared both missed their putts, so we were 1up.
5th was halved with birdies.
6th - monty played a great approach to 5.5ft and made his putt for birdie to make it A/S
On the 7th Jared took a little too much off his drive and it bounced short of the fairway and was extremely unlucky to find 40/50 rough which was masquerading as fairway - i think the greenkeepers were on strike. Monty's approach grew wings and went 16ft past, Clarence hit a great approach to 3ft and holed his putt after Monty had missed to put us 1up - i must mention Jared's recoverey, he very nearly holed out with his 3rd from the rough, stopping less than 1ft from the hole.
On the 8th we had the front pin and wind behind, i was closest of the 4 at 33ft from the hole, we all got close with our putts but no one made birdie, so it was halved in par.
The 9th was wind against, so no chance of driving the green, which meant a holed approach was needed to realistic force sudden death - it wasn't to be, although Jared's approach only needed 2ft more and it was in all the way.
Thanks guys, most enjoyable match.
