Had a foursomes tie today giving 15 shots away. Pretty windy though, 4 or 5 club wind at least. Two guys I know quite well and both capable of playing well under handicap. Been caddying a bit which has meant I've not hit a ball in a couple of weeks and neither has Slow Dave. We were giving away shots on the first 3 holes so were 3 down straight away?. 5 down after 7, lost 8 but then won 9. Lost on the par 5 10 to a shot after crushing a drive and a 9 iron on the green. 11th was a kick in the balls, I flushed a 6 iron onto the green and they shanked it off the teeonto the 10th fairway, they then played a good shot onto the green for 100 yards away still and holed the putt then Dave bashes it 10 ft past so I then had a down hill downwind put to half??which I missed. We then won 12 and 13, which were both shot holes for them, but the won 14 with a shot. We won 15 and 16 which was another shot hole so got it down to 2 down with 3. Lipped out on the birdie on 17 which was a shot hole for them so halved it with us par and them bogey, so a loss. First time we have not made the quarter/semi finals. Fair play to the guys they used the shots well. At least we don't have to go through the hassle 0f arranging games for another year.
. My 6 iron carries 175 yards in flat calm conditions......
