After 27 holes was +2
Finished the back 9 with an eagle to come in -3 for the tournament.. tied first then won a 4 hole play off

Mentioned to a good mate of mine at the club that on Tuesday I’m playing one of our +2 players off scratch. In handicap comp he’d be giving me 9 shots.
I mused that I doubt I had much chance (he’s relatively new to the club and I’ve never played with or against him before). He looked at me and smiled. I quipped well it’s matchplay - you never know. He smiled again - we do…you lose. Thanks Olly
Well let’s see how far I get.

The Seniors have a whatsapp group to manage matches. There are clear instructions on what it's used for.
Of course that's beyond many and it's pure comedy gold.
Eg today. Had a drop out for this week's match.. only reply if you can fill in, says the note.
Then follows about ten old boys apologising for being unable to help, several suggestions of possibles and question about the meal!!

Yup, I'm in a roll-up group with about 100 blokes in it. The weekly text comes out asking who's in? Then the obligatory pile-in of ppl saying they can't play

The other variable is a society I play in sends out fixture emails. If you're playing, just say so, if not, don't reply.
Yep, dozens of emails of either answer, sent "Reply All!"

I just create a WhatsApp poll and then people can just do a simple click of the button to say if they are playing or not

Ah, I bet there are no "over 70s" in that group!
They can't "just click" on anything without comments or questions

Got an email from the club earlier than I won the par 3 comp after the pro am.. basically the little par 3 course (9 hole) which is next to the range we could enter for free and just lowest gross after half index is taken away

Lottie leading field after yesterday’s 1st round of the US National College (NCAA) Finals. The report on her college (Florida State University) website speaks volumes…(extract)
Woad carded a career-low and program record tying 65 and leads the individual standings by one stroke over Isabella Rawl of Clemson.
Woad carded a 7 under par score of 65. She tied her personal record for a low score in a single round, tied the school record for a low score in a single round, and set the school record for the low score in a single round in the NCAA Championship Finals. Woad came within one shot of tying the all-time record low score of 64 in the NCAA Championship finals event. The best score in relation to par in NCAA Championship Finals history is a 64 by Megan McChrystal of LSU in 2010.
Long way to go in the finals but what a great start.
(…and as for her poor final rnd in the regional qualifier. The weather was very difficult and the course set up and prep on the day didn’t help).

Day #2 been a struggle for Lottie (in 3rd place and three behind leader) and her team look to be heading out of it.
