Tiverton, not Darlington

After a bit of a communication cock-up, this morning's fourball consisted of just three. As I was the missing body, the tale of this round can be regarded as mostly ficitional.

In muggy conditions Charlie, Richard and Mike drove off the 10th in magnificent fashion (I have no idea if this true) What is true is that all three acored three on the par three, Mike got stuck in a bunker of the relatively easy 15th scoring an eventual 11 and Richard birdied the 17th. At the turn there was little to choose between them - 18pts/18pts/16pts.

The back (front) nine was won by Mike with 45 shots but overall the match was tied for the trousers. Charlie, though strode away in the strides after a countback that went back two holes.

FInal scores Mike 95 (33 points), Richard 94 (32 points) and Charlie 94 (32 points). New handicaps are Mike 18, Richard 17 and Charlie 21.

And, apparently, Mike will be in Darlington next week.
