re- stroke play match...about to tee off at the final hole on the congressional course yesterday, when one of the three players left in the game said he,d had enough and was retiring(9over)....myself and the remaining player finished the game..him being even par and myself 2 over....When the score card came up it stated his score which was correct ..my score which was correct..and behold..afinal hole score for the player who had retired on the final tee of...an eagle !!!! It did not make any difference to the final score of this game , but it could have done ! Secret of getting a good score ...retire early..no.. I dont think so! :- )
