Ryder Cup Winner
so on sunday we play this months society in almost unbareable heat, and to be fair with a storming consistant front nine, but a well below average back nine i come in with 33 points and the longest drive in the bag (by miles). the first 2 groups are in and im clear in front by a good 5 points as alot struggled with the heat.
as you can imagine at this point im working out who is left that is most likely to give me a run for my money, when the last group finally come in ive tied with someone else, who after checking the cards has beat me on count back.
Now on normal occasions i would have been more than happy with longest drive & 2nd, but the fact is the guy who one on count back has picked up a nickname due to the fact he's scores are sometimes questionable.
* the sort of guy that throws a ball deep in to woods yet still bogeys a par 4
* the sort of guy that hits a penta off the tee yet finishes the hole with a topflight.
has anyone else even been in the position of having to deal with a defeat knowing the guy who won is relaxed about the rules (a nice way of putting it) or am i just sour!
