Another result from this years matchplay knockout competition is in with:
Dave Grubb
beat Craig Vale (19th) at Uttoxeter Golf Club

Valey sent me a brief report of the match which I reproduce below to scare the bejezzus out of Brian Keates and Sean Arble (one of which is Grubby's next opponent).

"Dave & I turned out yesterday for our match play first round tie - the 2 heavy weights of recent competitions, we last years runner up facing the winner of 2 years ago. Conditions were very tough with a strong wind blowing straight down the course.

The form books had Grubby as firm favourite, taking an 8 shot advantage into the tie, where Valey had only managed a measly 20 points on his previous outing and seriously lacking any kind of form!

It looked bad for Vale on the outset, hooking off the first tee to find himself on the far side of the 5th fair way! Grubby, 1 up after 1! 2nd hole halved and then Vale found some kind of a swing, and Grubby, after 2 shots still hadn't beat the ladies tee on the 3rd! All square.

The match ebbed and flowed like this for some time, with Vale going 2 up on 2 different occasions, only to find himself 1 down with 1 to play as Grubby realised he did in fact have a putter in his bag (following some god awful misses resulting in no gimmies outside of 6 inches!).

2 shockers off the 18th tee, and Vale thought he was dead! However Grubby wanted to play some more golf, and decided to get somewhere in double figures before conceding the hole - overall, a waste of time playing 18 holes as we were all square.

Onto the scene of my earlier crime - the first tee - keen not to repeat my huge hook, I cut the ball wildly nearly finding the water on the 12th - nothing but quality here! Grubby sensibly places his trusty rescue down the left side of the fairway. A great recovery shot puts me straight back into contention, but Grubby responds with a steady clip up the hill. A pitching wedge for Vale on a fluffy surface goes straight under the ball leaving it behind a tree and woefully short of the green - Grubby in in 3, Vale limps on in 4 with a sweet chip. Vale to putt.....around 12 feet away on dodgy, bobbly greens, a clean stroke, its online, into the cup....loops round and sits on the edge...aaarrggghhhh!!!

Grubby 2 putts to victory and takes the tie on the first extra hole - well played mate!

A tie that on paper looked to be full of poor golf throughout was actually a match of decent quality (despite the highlights given above!) and very enjoyable.

Grubby is now looking for a number of bye's to reclaim his title of 2 years ago!"
