Got a tough match this afternoon

[louise_a]

My partner and I are playing our second round match in the club's 4BBB knockout this afternoon. We are playing against the pair who have won the competition for the last 3 years, one girl off 5 and the other off 11.
They beat us in the final last year 4&3 and I guess the competition does suit them as in 4BBB the strokes given are 3/4 of the difference.
Still I am sure we will give it our best shot and hopefully make full use of the shots we get.

Ive got to play a young lad in the scratch cup who's just got to +1 so if it was handicap id be getting 7 shots, but its scratch so im expecting a bit of a gubbing, but you never know

If you can play the mental game well you will beat them, think positive!
Good luck

Well it was a close one, ever more than one hole in it right until the 18th

After halving the first with pars, I holed a nice putt for a net birdie to win the 2nd. We halved the 3rd and 4th with net pars before losing the 5 th to a net birdie. we halved the 6th with gross birdies after another nice putt from me, but lost the 5th even though we both had shots, my 2nd finding a bunker and escape running through the green into a hazard, and my partner messing up a chip.
My partner won the 8th wth a net birdie, but we losat he 9th when one of our opponents hold a long birdie putt.
A net birdie for me won the 10th, but we lost the 1tth to a par after I found trees off the tee. We were all square again after a net par from my partner on the 12th and halved the 13th when I holed for a net par.
We lost the 14th to a par after my putt lipped out, but a net birdie from me won the 15th. They went back ahead on the 16th with a par when my 2nd found a bunker then another putt lipped out and my partner fluffed a chip.
The 17th was halved in net pars and then on the 18th they both found the green and I was through the back, I failed to get down in 2 and that was the match lost 2 down.
My partner off 24 played well and I had some very good holes but in the end we were both too erratic.

It was a great match though.
