Deja Vu All Over Again

July 30, 2016

Lil Bob gives Fred 4, partner Dave 6 and Nick 7

 

Fast start again from F/N as Nick birdies net eagles 1.

Fred just misses birdie from ten feet on two so that hole is a push.

Fred drains a ten footer on 3 for a bogey and a half!

Nick takes four from 50 yards on 4. Fred misses from two feet. It's another push with net par.

Nick takes 5 from 130. Lil Bob misses from four feet and it's another push with bogey.

All stroke. Best for F/N is double which doesn't count against LB's par so the match is square.

Gimmee pars on 7. Still all square.

LB tries to give Nick his four footer for par on 8 since Fred has the team par. Nick suggests maybe not since he is stroking. Poor putt so it's another push.

LB ob on 9 with his tee shot. Dave ob with his fourth shot. (figure that out!) So at the turn, once again F/N are 1 up.

All stroke on 10. No change again.

LB stiffs a nine iron and drains the 12 footer for bird on 11 and all square again.

Fred putts from 30 yards including 10 that are fringe and stops it an inch away. Dave does the same. Spectacular. All square.

13 and LB has twelve feet for birdie. His ball moves just before address. No one else sees it. LB putts it without replacing it. Is that the proper thing to do? What to do? LB gives Nick and Fred their three footers and the hole is declared halved. Very sporting.

Fred plays brilliantly on 14 finishing with a curling thirty foot birdie and restoring the 1 up lead.

Nick plays LB on 15. Lb is first in with a 10 foot natural birdie. Nick coaxes in an 8 foot net birdie. Just like Wednesday F/N leave the 15th green 1 up. (p.s. Dave went ob after 4 again just like 9!)

Looks like a half on 16 as Dave is thirty feet above the hole in three while LB has 5 feet of side hill madness for his par. But Dave the shark gets his putt to drop. Once again F/N lose 16 and the match is square.

Strokes on 17 for Dave and N. Nick's ob drive is thrown back into play. On the green he has 12 feet for par while Dave has 8. Nick misses and Dave makes. Oh no. F/N have just lost 16 and 17 and are 1 down going to 18.

Pin right in the middle of 18 with viscous breaks.  LB gives an opening when he goes so far long he is nearly on the chipping area. He settles for 6. Dave flares his approach into the trap and leaves his par putt near the edge. Another 6. Can Fred two putt side hill from 20 feet?  You bet. Not quite deja vu but awfully close. All square.

 

Lil Bob 79 - 73

Fred 80 - 69

Dave 85 -71

Nick 92 -77
