Well the first round of the Victorian Matchplay was played today at Southern and the result was ------------drumroll please--------a DRAW!!!! Even though Flowergirl was up three at one stage she couldn't shake Chappy off who valiantly scrambled back to square it all up leading into the 18th. Par 4 with no shots given. Both players drove well - although Chappy found himself in some long grass. Flowergirls second shot- A bit of a low runner - found her at the front of the green while Chappy got a flier out of the grass over the back of the green. Flowergirl skulls her chip ( again) to the back of the green and Chappy overhits his to the front of the green. Talk about a comedy of errors ( but neither of us where laughing). Flowergirls sinks a great putt and hopes ( in a nice way) that CHappy would continue with the putting woes that had dogged him all day - but no - he sinks it to draw the game.
We both agreed that we had souch a good time that we would do it again at a later date.
Thanks Bruce for your company today - it was lovely to have a game with you again - you bandit!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it was nice to meet you Chappy. Thanks for the invite to play at Southern. I really enjoyed the course. Beautiful fairways - and superfast greens !!!
