Away Match v Aspley Guise Willmotts - 20th April 2018

Panic over, the winter wheel saga was ended by our old friend common sense and the Aspley Guise club ban on wheels was lifted for the JOG team to play the match. Lots of emails were exchanged prior to the match about the wheels situation together with meals and changing of opposition players.

What a day, the welcome and the weather were great, the temperature was in the high twenties and to the credit of the Aspley Guise team they gave us a great days golf and food.The course played well with the greens having just been ironed, it was a test of golf.

We looked like we were going to have our second defeat of the season but we rallied and saved the day with a hard fought half, 4/4 a good result for an away match.

  

Ray and I had a up and down day we were 3 down, we then had a late surge and stood on the 17th tee 1 down with 2 to play only to be beat by a miracle shot from the opposition's Jim who played a magnificent shot from the other fairway over the trees to land on the green 2 putts and game over.

 

It was a two tee start with the last three pairs going off the 17th, we were all in and sitting down for lunch at 2.15pm, the food was very good and only cost £16.00!

Looking forward to the rest of the season.
