Glen gives Dave 3, Nick 4 and Mac 11

Lots of pars. A few net birdies. Huge winds from the south. 

Glen pars the first three providing a 2 up lead by winning 2 & 3.

Nick wins the 4th with a straight forward net birdie. 1 up G/D

Glen chips stiff on 5 but it's only a half when Nick curls in an 8 footer for his own par. 1 up .

Dave uses his stroke on 6 to reward his own stiffed chip as a winning net birdie. 2 up G/D.

Macco pars 7 with a nice three footer to keep the lead at two.

Stroking Mac drives it 70 yards into the trees on 8 but then recovers well unlike Glen or Dave. Bogie net par is enough to reduce the lead to one.

A howling wind into our faces mean drives on 9 barely clear the ditch. Advantage Mac and his stroke. No problem for Glen who simply chips in for a real birdie. Mac can't match and the lead is two again G/D.

Strokes on ten are frittered as Nick goes left and Mac three putts for bogey. Glen gets up and down to par and halve the hole.

Dave plays Mac on 11 and wins with a regulation par. Easy game. 3 up G/D. Mac and Nick have been here before. 

Good drives on twelve are not followed by good seconds or good chips. Nick is just away and manages to roll his four footer in for par. Glen does a three sixty from four feet so surprisingly the lead is cut to two again.

Three very nice irons on 13 see birdie looks for all but Mac. No one negotiates their twenty footer so it's another hole halved in par.

Dave hits his fourteenth straight fairway to cover for his wayward partner. A not so good second is made up for by another running chip shot to eighteen inches. Nick hits fairway, green two putt. Once again pars are the order of the day. Glen and Dave are just running out the clock. Two up with four to go.

Stroker alley for Mac. Stroke for Nick and Dave. Dave goes in the creek to hand an advantage to the  M/N. They seize it. Mac has ten feet for birdie/eagle. It isn't needed as Nick is first in with a net birdie that is enough. 1 up G/D

A howling wind right into the group for 16-17 & 18. Nick gets nearly on in two, chips to a foot and makes a real par on 16. the match is now square.

Nick goes ob on 17. Mac comes through with a tree assisted bounce into the middle of the fairway allowing him an 80 yard pitch to fifteen feet and two putts for bogey/par. Enough as the wind has Glen and Dave not near in two or three and unable to better than bogey. Suddenly M/N are dormie!

Mac doesn't play 18. Nick plays two straight shots into the teeth of the wind to about sixty yards. Glen and Dave both get on from 150 but are a serious distance away. Nick pulls his pitch. Dave and Glen both lag beautifully to three feet from about 30 yards away. Nick three putts leaving his second putt short. Kiss your sister it's a tie.

Glen 80 - 71

Dave 81 - 68

Nick 84 - 70

Mac 94 - 71
