Day 12 - Mid Week Match

A brainchild of my predeceesor, Colin, was the Mid Week Knock Out.  This was a new competition launched last year and pretty much does what it says on the tin: only playable Monday to Fridays.  In its first year, we limited entry to 64 players but this time here were almost 90 entries.

A mess-up on the diary front in 2014 had meant that I was unable to play my match and had to concede a walk over.  I was pleased therefore to have my first round game today: and what a day it was! Yes, the ground was wet underfoot but we were treated to a still, clear day with unbroken sunshine throughout.  Sitting on the terrace afterwards with a beer in hand, soaking in the rays, was a real treat.

And the result? Well, suffice to say that I played like a drain and that this managed to put off my opponent sufficiently that I managed a win: but that was all by the by. We had a good chat all the way around, enjoyed the great weather and spent the whole time just glad to be out: just what a friendly game of golf is supposed to be!
