Away Match v Dunstable Downs - 4th July 2019

On a beautiful sunny day we played our re-arranged match on a wonderful course that was in  excellent condition with fast greens. After last year's white wash I’m very pleased to report a 3.5/4.5 loss.

Captain Dave & I had a great start with three birdies on the first five holes. This lead was reduced (mainly due to their organiser Roger - nickname five counties - due to his sometimes wayward drives, was out driving us by 50 yards) to dormy 1 on our 18th hole but with a very useful pitch & putt from Dave we won two up.

Graham Court & Steve Collins had a great win with a net score of 63.

Terry McSweeney & David Crosby managed to win 4 & 3 even though David picked his ball up prematurely on the green resulting in a lost hole?

Gerry Gentle & Malcolm Lee managed a good half after being 2 down with 3 to play.

Gerry Degaute & Keith Fuller lost 2 & 1 even after Keith had made a 60 foot putt on the second green.

Sam Standen & Peter Wade had a good reason for losing as their opponent Terry went round in 63!

Finally my banking (Is this the right word?) pair of Robert Anderson & Peter Jarman lost . The reason they gave was having to give up to 10 shots away.

Lunch was a very tasty pie & veg followed by a choice of 3 desserts!!
