There was a low key build up to this match, which was just as well, because it was a very low quality match at Macarthur Grange this morning.

The Result: Jimandr defeated Spiersy11 5 and 4.

I didn't play very well, but Rob played the worst round he is ever likely to play. I gather Rob's preparation wasn't perfect, but he can expand upon that if he wishes. I do know he was going home to get some sleep before he even contemplated having a look at the web.

We halved the first in bogeys after I three putted, I won the 2nd after he three putted, I won the 3rd after he had at least 4 putts. I won the fourth after I took three to get down from just off the green, and he took at least 4 from a similar spot. He won the 5th after I took three to get on the green from a bunker.

The game was there for the taking for the first player to start playing decent golf. From that point I played Ok, which turned out to be good enough.

If we have a rematch sometime on a course more suitable to both our games, I dare say the result may well be reversed.
