Another lovely day for a Waterfield. 3 :30 start time that Mac thinks is 4:00. Chanelling Fred and looking for every psychological advantage.  No worries as it's men's night and one can tee off almost at will.

Nick still gets 7. Gord gets 8. Mac gets everything but the par 3s

Off to a fast start Gord's tie one and two with pars. Mac could have won two with a ten footer but in a foreshadowing moment misses the putt.

Nick talks to GTs tee ball on 3 and it dutifully rolls to the back of the green for a front red pin. Glare. And a huge putt right in the middle for a birdie and 1 up.

Stroker alley. Nick pars them all for net birdies and it's suddenly 4 up after 6.

7 sees Nick's twelve footer going in the middle but it hits a green bump and breaks uphill to end the birdie streak. Stalled at 4

8 has Nick nip a 50 yard chip into a foot and a half. McD uses Nick's ball to stop his fast moving chip and set up a good good half in par. Still 4 and the karma feels different.

Sure enough McD pars 9 and 10 for net birdies and wins. The lead is down to two and the times they are a changing.

Except Mac and McD go right on 11 and can't get up and down so GT's par wins

The tree on 12 takes both Gord's balls and throws them deep in the woods. So Mac plays Nick and their matching three footers halve the hole in par -net par.

And then the Gords play each other on 13 and GT leaves it on the edge while McD sinks. The lead is back to two.

Mac hits it deep in the trees on 14. After suitably rattling around it lands in the rough and two shots later he is putting for net birdie. However he and his Gord have putting challenges and their net bogie loses to Mr 69's par. Three up.

Nick bounces off a tree on 15 nearly ob.  Not playing. However GT stripes his best drive and even a not so wonderful second leaves a reasonable chip and a three footer for birdie. Mac can halve via a sandie and does. McD can win but his net eagle putt never threatens the hole so it's a halve and dormie.

Nick hits a hundred yard drive on 16 which is good because it is not lost. McD stripes a drive and a second to the fringe. Nick hits his hundred twenty yard third inside McD's chip. And GT makes a routine par. All over 3 and 2

Lots of wonderful play on a gorgeous night. Too big a lead in the end

GT 76 -72

Nick 83-70

McD 84-70

Mac had one par on 15 and so many nearly ins that it could have been his to win.
