What a wonderful weekend to start our interclub campaign.
With the horizontal rain and somewhat windy conditions, we were off.
Leading from the front was our duel of Benny and Ray. Ray started off in great form. His opponent remarked, “if anyone needs putting lessons, see Ray”. I understand he made them from everywhere. Great win to Ray 6/5 and a great effort to the duo for a 3/2 fourball win.
Thomas and Hamish came next with a great effort and Hamish entertaining the van on the way back with a 4/2 win and a half respectively, and also a nice 4/3 fourball win.
Steve and Gordon both came away with points. Gordon a 3.2 win and Steve with a half, and a 3/2 win in their fourball.
Simon started our slide but his partner Alan ground out a 1-up win.
Sadly our veterans, Paul and Carl did not fare as well. Paul jumped out to a 3-up lead on the turn, but his opponent decided to keep fighting. Carl left his game in the van.
A very satisfying 8/7 away win for the boys. Well Done. We are looking forward to a Home game on the 11th against Otaki.
