Day 161 - More Flitch...

Monday, Monday... and a grey day, but at least it was dry!  Morning was devoted to catching up on all sorts of things, with the mowing of the grass remaining an outside option...

We were to meet up at the Club this afternoon with our next round opponents for the Flitch Salver: Chris and Judith Greet (a reminder: this is the knockout for which the only eligible entrants are married couples).  The course was pretty empty (apart from one four-ball who looked as if they had strayed onto the course from an 18-30 holiday camp) and we made good progress.

The match was closely fought: never more than one hole in it either way, with both couples spending times in the lead. That being said, whenever one team went ahead, the other side immediately played a good hole and brought things back to all square.  And so it went on, until we went into the lead on the 17th and all we needed to do was halve the last... which we failed to do! 

So here we were back on the 1st hole again with the match level... Fortunately (for us at least!) we managed to squeak a win on the first extra hole and therefore emerged as victors.

Back home for supper and then an evening in front of the box. Mrs L was busy preparing for her golfing trip on the morrow which gave me a free run of the remote control: University Challenge and Only Connect it was...followed by Penelope Keith exploring the Secret Files of the BBC.  All very entertaining...
