Facing Carol’s -10, and fearing my first round -11 was nothing more than a one-off, I started the round with a giant sense of trepidation.
Which quickly eased as I dropped four birds on the first five holes, and -11 today seemed well within reach!
(See what I did there?)
Then quicker you can say “Bob’s your uncle”, twenty of the wheels on my 18-wheeler fell right off, destroying any momentum I once had, and my grip on the Wooden Spoon tightened mightily.
Turned two more birds to wrap up the front at -4, and my confidence remained shaken.
Needing 6 birds in nine holes seemed out of reach, given my history, but a routine tweet on #10 gave me a glimmer of hope, bringing me to -5.
Then, the unlikely happened. A must watch…
In two swings of the club, I went from -5 to -9, a single stroke from tying Miss Carol.
Used the next three holes to regain my composure, then stared down the final three holes needing only two birds to capture the unexpected win.
Art Vandelay Wutpa I did all that and one better…
Three of them to be exact.
Rd 2: -12
I would like to thank the lovely Miss Carol for being lovely and letting me win won despite myself. In return, I present to you, Miss Carol, my side of our agreement.
Another great round Mark 👏👏👏
