On Sunday past we played Royal Portrush (top 20 course in the world, blah, blah, blah.)
It was 7-best players in our club vs. theirs. I was out #4 vs. a 2-handicapper.
4-down at the turn after starting with 4 bogies in first 5 and having 2/3 horrible lies I was starting to think "let's reduce this to a respectable defeat margin."
Back nine came and I go "birdie, par, par, birdie, par, par, birdie, birdie, bogey" to win 1-up. What d'ya think o' that ?!?
We ended up beating them 6.5 to 0.5. Our last man was out on the course and was 2-up with 2 to play. If he'd have beaten him I don't think 7-0 would ever have been forgotten about in our Club's history.
Best part of my game was chipping in from the rough on the 16th; that was in front of the players from the 1st and 2nd matches; 2 X Scratch men and two +1, two of which are Irish Internationists.
That's 2 games I have won out of 2 in these games now. Was about to go 3-down the week before and holed a 25-footer for my opponent to 3-stab and the match to go back to just 1-down. Quality...!!
