Hotel. Breakfast will be taken at Caerwylan but evening meals
will be at The Lion with the rest of the party. The four people
who sent in their deposit cheques the latest have been allocated
places at Caerwylan.

Another result from

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!"
