The Plate---Quarter Final Match
East Coast 2 v Scottish
Cuser44 v JACOBITE12
I played my match today against Al (jacobite12) and played a tough opponent.
We were evenly matched throughout. JB (Al) took a 1 up lead on 2 and I answered right away with a bird on 3.
I took a 1 up lead on 5 only to have JB chip in a long bird on 7 to even the match.
I again take a 1 up lead on 8 only to have JB stick his tee shot on 9 inside of 3'. A/S through 9.
We halve 10 after JB drains a 20' bird to negate my shot that stuck just outside of a foot of the hole.
I try to gain momentum on 11 as JB's drive ended in the brush. I was able to save par and win the hole. This ended immediately on 12 with JB's birdie. Once again ALL EVEN.
This is where my irons heated up. Hole 13 I shoot a dart to inside 5' for a birdie and a 1 up lead. My next bullseye comes on 14 when I drop my second to 1' for my second bird in a row. 2 up.
We halve 15 when I chip in for a birdie and JB drains his putt from 9'.
Hole 16 has me 2 up and I hit my approach to 7'. JBs second went long and this was the deciding factor. He almost made his birdie and I was able to hit the center of the cup for the 3 up Victory for East Coast.
Al was a great opponent and his friendly personality made the match that much more enjoyable.
I believe the directors deserve a loud round of applause for keeping this event running. Cheers to all and Let's all enjoy a Pint at the Pub.
