No Fourth round for me!

[PNWokingham]

Not happy! Got beat in the third round - 20 handicapper older than Smiffy - he got 6 proper pars and possibly 2 more if he had finished the holes. 2 up after 5. 2 down after 9 - he parred 6, 7 (SI1) and 8. Missed pars at 13 and 16 - both holes I thought I had won, in total control, but he scrambled brilliantly around the green and I was poor! He parred 17 after a poor drive to go won up (another 1 put) - I found the bunker and missed the par by a midge's mary. Both crap drives up 18, both 90 yards to go in 2, side by side, he knocks it to the back of the green, I just miss front left, pin high but not far from flag - he knocks it stone dead from 25 yards above the flag!! Me loose now!! One of those matches that I always felt I would win but he scrambled fantastically - lots of one puts - and a lot of pars for a 20 handicapper!

You got that quote ready to paste in mate!?

I'm playing a 17 handicapper (coming down rapido) who scored 47 points in 30mph winds on the weekend in ours. I may be up against it.

I was forced to concede my first round match this year (mums health) so at least you got to play and get thorugh some of the rounds. Some days you have to hold your hand up and say the better golfer, irrespective of handicap won

Yes thank you mate. She is getting back to normal (as well as you can with cancer) and no real issues at the moment which I think has helped the golf a fair bit too. I don't feel guilty playing and practicing anymore. Off to see her on Saturday for some lunch for my birthday. Focussing all my matchplay attention on representing Team GM in the Volvo pairs. Had a lesson last night which helped (only the posture needed tweaking) and off to Windlesham on Friday although the forecast is crap. Can't wait to try the new set up on the course and really looking forward to Camberley and playing with Smiffy at Blackmoor

From what I've heard, because Smiffy goes to bed on his own at 9 pm and gets up at seagull's fart, he is missing someone playing with him. The pair of you should be careful if you decide to look for your balls in the gorse. You could get severely pricked.

Roger, are you trying to ruin my course for me, with visions like that ?
