Gord - 5 ; Fred and Wayne receiving 6 strokes , Tom 5

Net birdies for Tom/ Fred on 1 . Shorts both par 3, good for 1up lead . Tom putting is clutch on 4 as he rolls in the four footer for 3 ( NET DOUBLE EAGLE 2) !!! Mediocre bogies on 5 for all . Tom/ Fred again match net birdies on 6. Birdies on 8 and 9 from Fred then Gord lead to Short 2 up lead at the turn . Fred can just manage a 3 ( net eagle ) on 10. 11 and 12 split with pars . 3 up Shorties . All over ? Gord gets wet on 13, Fred visits the trees . 2 up . Tom and Wayne both have closish birdie putts on 14 but par is good enough . 1 up . Fred hits a beauty pitch 3rd on 15 to 2 feet then confidently rolls it in the side door. 2up No one betters bogey on 16 ( but Wayne does make a gutsy 5 footer so save his sides 5 ). Seventeenth hole ....( in the poring rain ) strokers Fred and Wayne are both on the fringe . Wayne 80' away , Fred 22' ,,, Wayne chips to 5 feet , Fred to 30" . Wayne makes for par ( net birdie ) Fred equals .... match over ! Shorts win 2 and 1
Gord 80 = 75
Fred 78 = 66
Tom 76 = 65 ) I think ..
Wayne 86 = 7
