Panic over, we’re back...

After losing another two games to the weather, we managed to bounce back with two good wins against two very good teams. On Sunday, our opponents were Richard and Dave Gillespie with Grant Russell and Malcolm Mackenzie, as usual, it was very windy, but at last dry. We played the front nine, score-wise the best we’ve done so far only bogeying the fifth and parring the other eight, so we turned four-up on both pairs. After a couple of pars and then a birdie on thirteen, we managed to close out our match with Grant and Malcolm. On fourteen, the brothers made an amazing nett par after being in the trees by the fifth for two but we also parred fourteen and fifteen to beat the brothers.

On Monday, we played Mick Cherrett and Trevor Atyeo with Mike Peet and John Bentley on another dry sunny day. Talk about how your game can change from one day to another. We were on the front nine, as far away from the previous day as humanly possible. After seven holes, we were five-down to Mike and John and two-down to Mick and Trevor. However, we did manage a slight rally, but after Mike and Trevor made a nett eagle on ten and then John hit the shot of the day on eleven lipping out from 160 yards giving them a nett eagle - we were back up against it.

Mick and Trevor kept playing very solidly and put us out of our misery on the fifteenth with a birdie winning four and three. The other game went down to the wire and after a good up down on sixteen and the captain holing a nice putt on seventeen for birdie, we parred the last to win two-up against Mike and John. A good couple of days, let’s hope this dry weather lasts.
