Match report
I agreed to Mike's request to write a report a while ago but forgot, hence the lack of coherence now. First and Third's scores in this fixture had formed a strictly decreasing sequence and realistically we were unlikely to halt that progression. Thus our only aim was to avoid a whitewash. Our team was of the minimum permitted number of players (5) and number of golfers (0).
Chris and I arrived late - very late - so Jim and Will were nominated by phone to go off first in their threeballs match, in which JPDx2 beat Jim by 3&2. By the time I arrived Jim was in a bad mood and I didn't watch much so I've no idea how anyone played. The second threeballs match was a genuine classic. For the rest of my life I'll remember the first time I saw Chris at the tee, the first time I saw him hit a ball (five strokes later) and the first time I saw him hit a ball without it going on to hit his left foot (a further five strokes). Tom played pretty well and lost to Fisher/Horler by 2&1.
The foursomes and singles matches followed in a predictable fashion. The highlight of the day from First and Third's point of view was of course Jim's point against JPD, which avoided the whitewash. (I guess the other eight matches were the highlight for Black Prince.) Special mention must also go to Tom O'Neill. He was unlucky to be drawn against Mike and his zero points certainly don't do his golf justice: he lost both his matches 1 down and could certainly have scored points against other opposition.
So a heavy defeat to the city executives, but only one match was over before seven holes had been played and three of our defeats were at the last, so it could have been worse... Many thanks to Mike for organising the event and to the First and Third team for turning up. Next year we're going to train.
