Today we had our Charity Challenge Match..this was a match between the Club Captain, Chris Wallace and his Vice Captain, Goff Norrington vs myself (Lady Captain) and Debbie Conder (Lady Vice Captain)...
It was a great battle...The handicaps were well balanced resulting in Debbie, Goff and I all getting 2 shots....Following a lot of ridicule on the 1st Tee from the "Merlins" poor Chris didn't get off to a good start down the 1st hole, but came back fighting. Debbie and I went 2 down after 3 holes and were still 2 down after 7 holes....
We battled back to "All Square" by the time we were standing on the 13th Tee....We won the 14th hole and were doing well until we got to the 15th green...Goff sank a monster sized putt for a 3 and we were then back level on the 16th tee....the 16th was not a good hole for us..we both hit the tree and walked off the green 1 down....after a tense battle we managed to halve the 17th with a par and then stood on the 18th tee needing to win the hole to square the match...and that's what we did..a 3 was good enough..thank goodness...the stress and concentration was unbelievable!
What a great match..and the end result was that we raised a fantastic £135 for each of the two charities and Graham West and Keith Root were the winners of "Guess the Score".
Caroline, Lady Captain.
