Mac and Bob win all four par 5's. So it did come down to 18

 Another wonderful Waterfield match where no team was ever up by more than 1.
That should be noted should anyone have any questions regarding the participants handicaps.

1. Bob managed a 5 to tie the hole. Being the recorder, I only say this to get my name briefly in the summary.
2. Nick's par wins. 1up Nick and Fred.
3. Mac chips up Fred's surprised ass. He says he didn't mean it but it was the start. Tied with 4's.
4. Mac and his partner played the hole as a twosome. Match even.
5. Nick and Fred stroking both had net birdies. 1up F&N.
6. Mac and Nick tie. Nick hitting a wonderful shot from right of the big bush after his strategic fairway wood safety shot.
7. Everyone short except Mac whose putt from the back of the green stops inches away. Tie. Still 1up F&N.
8. Mac's net par wins. All square.
9. Mac's net eagle wins. 1up Mac and whoever.

!0. Bob and Nick manage to sink putts for par and net par respectively.
11. Tied in pars. Still 1up Mac and whoever. It could have been anyone.
12. Fred and Nick play as a twosome. All square
13. Beautiful birdie by Fred. 1up F&N.
14. Tied again with bogeys.
15. Who would have guessed it if they had been following but Bob is successful on a long birdie putt. All square.
16. Mac asks his partner to help him take off his pants. He is obviously more comfortable asking this than his partner is at doing it but it is accomplished after kind , well rehearsed words and Mac nets par for the half.
17,18. Mac is net par, net eagle-almost sinking his third shot. Nick was last seen on 18 humping a tree on the right trying to extract his strategic fairway wood safety shot.

   So it came down to 18 tied and Mac came through magnificently. And it was about time. I was getting tired of carrying him.
