Home Match v Leighton Buzzard - 4th June 2019

Game 1 set the tone of the overall match in that it was halved, albeit only two of the eighteen holes were actually halved and neither team got more than two up at any time.  There were three birdies and one eagle (modesty prevents me from saying who grabbed the eagle).

After the first 4 Games JOG were 2 up with 2 wins and 2 halves. LB then won 2 of the next 3 meaning JOG was 1 up with one game to be completed. The final game was halved to produce a final outcome of JOG 4.5 and LB 3.5.

With all the players relaxing post match in the clubhouse the LB vice captain produced his rather damaged ball which it was alleged had been 'run over' by one of our green keepers on the 10th. Our lads had sportingly allowed him to replay his shot and he reciprocated by then missing his putt on the hole. Our captain has graciously offered to repair the ball and return it at the away leg.

Whilst mentioning Captain Dave it is worth noting he put us 1 up on the first with a net birdie and secured the half with a solid par on the last.
