The story of today's round was the return of Malcolm, his first appearance on a golf course since late November. He was in fine form, driving majestically and putting with great power, not much precision though.
The front nine was dominated by conversation relating to how the Scot's have brought this country to its knees (Scottish banks, Scottish PM, Scottish Chancellor, Scottish anything really) and by some startlingly consistent play by Mike. He struck 4 pars and just one double bogey on a first nine of 41.
Standing ouside the pro shop at the turn, I was engaged in conversation by a visitor in plus twos (slightly longer than plus fours, I believe) who had not a single complimentary word to say about our mighty club. I hope he lost his match.
The second half saw Mike fail to pass the trees on the 9th, me fail to round the corner on the 7th and Malcolm hit a cracking drive on the 8th with my driver.
Final scores: Mike 89 (36 pts and 5 pars), Kevin 88 (33 pts and 5 pars) and Malcolm 97 (30 pts and 3 pars).
Updated handicaps: Mike 18, Kevin 14, Malcolm 21.
