Great game and a lot of fun with old friends Jayme & Marv and the match was actually a lot closer than the scorecard showed here as J & M had so many near misses. My partner Woodsy was "the destroyer" out there today as he played super on the back 9 after having a lot of problems with the meter on the front 9.
We were lucky to be 2up early as J & M had an unusual slow start and some bad luck too ! But they then steadied themselves nicely and cut the deficit to 1 up and was cm from squaring things up on the 6th hole where Marv's tough putt from above left of the pin just shaved the hole ! On the CTTH 8th my tee shot just slid by the hole and stopped around 6ft from the hole, not quite good enough to beat Tess's great shot there for the prize, but we did win the hole to increase our lead back to 2 up.
The back 9 started out with Woodsy's super approach shot to about 3 ft and J also had a good shot to about 6ft. Again Marv was unlucky to just missed the putt to give us the hole ! On the par 5 next hole after I managed to put a 3w on to the green but left my partner with a pretty long putt for eagle. After Jayme had made a good pitch to about 2ft for birdie we all watched in anticipation as Woodsy's putt traveled ever so slowly to the hole and just dropped in from the side door at the very last minute for a great eagle and another win ! At the next hole Woodsy "the destroyer" struck again when fired a cracking approach shot to about 3 ft for another birdie while Marv just missed his birdie chance to give us another win. We then halved the next 2 holes to end the game at the par 3 14th hole.
Thanks to Jayme & Marv for the game and it's great to catch up with you both after so long. Also Thanks to my partner Woodsy who played great today, well done mate. Finally thanks to Briobrio for taking the time to help us organized our game as we had a lot of problems with finding a good time to meet up in the last 2 weeks.
Btw Lisa, I still can not open the link for the match brackets ! Is there another way I could open it ? sorry about this but i can not figured out this problem !
