Pre-billed as the match of the decade results in an 18th hole victory.

August 16, 2013
Ricky & David vs McD and Wyne
The pre-match banter involves discussion over which tees to play. More strokes are granted to White-Blue vs White alone. White is decided. No names; don't ask; don't tell.
Everybody plays off of Wyne's 10 handicap, something he is unused to. R gets 5. McD gets 3. Dave gets 1.

Hole #1 sees Ricky's second shot skull under the tree right find the green. What a lucky break! His par wins the hole.
2 is a push but Dave's par on 3 wins.  R&D 2 up.
4 is ugly ugly for most. However there is a winner in Dave's par. 3 up.
Everybody goes on cruise control for a few holes until 9 where W&McD's bogeys are good enuf to win. R&D 2 up at the turn.
Cruise to 15 where Wyne's par wins. R&D only 1 up.
On 16 R has the only stroke which is squandered right into  woods. W makes a magnificent putt for par and to square the match. A pall is cast over the R&D team's spirits. All square. Oh-oh.
On 17 green McD is spotted with eyes shut tightly, head towards his heaven listening for Dave's par putt to win hole not to drop. And it does not. Still all square walking to 18 tee. Silence prevails.
Good drives for all. W puts his 2nd shot OB left and hands over responsibility to McD.
The others advance admirably towards the green and get on (or sort of on) in 3. BIG tension on the green as one could imagine.
R chips to about 8 feet... not his best.
McD putts a long one to about 3-4 feet. Pretty good. 
Dave putts to 3 feet.
R lips out. McD lips out and it's up to Dave to win the match. McD is again spotted with eyes shut, head upwards to his heaven but alas, he hears the sound of Dave's ball in the hole to win a well contested match.
