Met up with Phil the Frag at Ascot yesterday for a game with him and Hywel. We went off the white tees and given that he'd come straight from the car after an 45 minute journey the first few holes were pretty tough. However once he got into his stride can see how Imurg struggles to keep him on a short lead. Off 26 on his day he'll be a real handful.
I acutally had a blinding front nine. Actually front 8 as I managed to lose a ball on 9 but not until it had hit the roof of the greenkeepers shed and rattled around a bit. DOH. I felt a little unwell on the back (see my hyper post) but did OK. Hywel couldn't get anything going all day but Phil was doing great. Undoubtedly his highlight of the day was rolling a putt in on 18 across the width of the green in front of the clubhouse windows.
It was great to meet him and he was fantastic company to play with. I think now he knows the course a bit if he comes with his game on June 9th he might just be a dark horse.

And I still beat him!
