+1, 0, -1, 0, +1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1 AND FINALLY MAC-FOR 2&1.
The scorecard looked like a computer program and if we weren't having fun we might have called Garry for help.

Wonderful golf with almost unbearable heat and torrential rain. Waiting out the rain forced us to cart quickly on the back and the change of pace affected Mac and Gord badly.

2. Gord 3 all square
3. Gord 3 1up G&lb
4.Mac net 3 all square

12. Bob and lilbob 4s. 1up B&M
13. Bob misses a short putt for par but Gord misses an even shorter one. Still 1up B&M
14. Gord and lilbob on in two. Bob jerks it in the trap and plays out to thirty feet. Gord and lilbob clean leaves from their putting line ( into Bob's line) and both lip out. Bob ,disgusted by his play , opts to leave the leaves in his way and whacks it into the hole. 1up B&M
15. Bob duck hooks his drive to 180 from the cross hazard. lilbob hits it inside the 200 but almost unplayable on the left. Gord and Mac hit good drives but both hit their seconds into the 'swamp' as Mac said to Gord. Bob hits 5iron over the creek but lilbob has to chip out and then hits a rescue club from 205 to 2feet. Bob hits sandwedge and sinks the putt as does lilbob (not being given it). 1up B&M
16. Bob and lilbob on in 2 with easy putts. Gord on the fringe and almost chips in. 5s all round. 1up B&M
17. Mac strategically misses his only drive of the day and hits a hybrid to the green for a 4 net 3. 2&1 for Bob and Mac.


It was an exciting match (as have been all Waterfields for us) and Mac and I thank the other team for missing so many good putts by a fraction and thank Garrison for giving Gord the most unbelievable bad lies multiple times. We also thank the weather and late timing of the match for having Gord in a cart for the back 9. Don't we all play better with a cart?

It being Gord's 58th birthday Mac and I magnanimously bought the beer.

   Gord around 36/43 79 (net 73) lilbob around 37/ 38 75 (net 69)
