Group 1, Game 7, Match #1: gregcuk vs Wutpa
Olympic's a bugger isn't it?
Had an enjoyable match with Greg earlier today, and the difference between us was largely down to luck: good in my case, bad in Greg's. Hole #1 would be an example since I went long and into the rough with my drive and Greg was sitting plum. So I thumped my 3 iron in the direction of the green where it bounced and bumped and struck the pin before stopping about 2 feet away, and Greg's shot inexplicably ballooned. I won the hole.
And so it went, Greg had head-scratcher shots and a putter so cold it was leaving frost burns on the green, whereas I got lucky bounces and so on. That wasn't all there was to it of course but Greg was definitely having a tough time of it and it's hard to keep on caring when it's like that.
So I ran out the winner on the 15th hole but Greg was a gent about the game and it was a pleasure playing with and meeting him.
Points to the Las Vegas Black Knights (and we haven't been able to say that very often!)
