Congrats to my wonderfully short partner! And congrats to Richard and John for scaring the Bejesus out of us.
Gord = 5 , Fred = 12 , John = 14 , Richard = 15
Rickie wins 1st with net par after sloppy play from Shorts. 2 through 4 has solid golf as Shorts win 3 with par ( Fred makes 6' on 4 to save the 2 putt and match John's net birdie ) . Net par on 6 is again good enough for R/J win . 8th won with Rickie's net birdie and a 2 up lead . Heroics on 9 with Gord sinking his 2ND bunker shot ( Fred is atypically absent from the hole ) John then calmly sinks his 19' par putt to match GT. Again R/J 2 up .10,11 matched with pars and then a sloppy 2nd from Fred and sloppy putting from Gord leads to another R/J win. A shift in wind direction on 13 leads to a green absent of golf balls . Shorts bogie is good enough . Freds clutch putting on 14 wins another for Shorts, so only 1 down . on 15 Fred plays with his partners fragile mental state but does manage to get up and down for net birdie and another win . 14' par putt on 16 from the awoken Fred leads to a 1 up lead for Shorts . Strokes abound on 17 but sloppy play from the 3 strokers leads the low ( short ) guy to finally show up with a 16' putt for birdie and a 2 and 1 win for the favorites.Gt - net 73, John 74, Fred, Rickie 76 .( the defeated are of course welcome to revise if appropriate )
