Early morning in Girton, chilly but sunny. By lunchtime it was as warm as you'd want it to be, perfect golfing conditions. Keith and I had a close battle against acting Captain Charles and Phil, all square after nine, then Charles carved a wild drive off the tenth which was saved from going into a bunker on the previous hole by striking David Court's backside (admittedly not a small target). Holes continued to be halved, Keith and I both missed gettable putts to win a hole, and the 18th tee saw us dormie one down. Fortunately your Captain rose to the challenge and, with a shot, had two putts to win the hole and secure a half.
Of more interest were the fine wins by our second, third, fifth and seventh pairs, to secure a 4½ to 3½ win- OUR FIRST WIN of the season AWAY FROM HOME
Nearest the pin, on 6, pipping me, was Vernon from Girton, and nearest the pin in two on the long 11th was Garth from Girton.
Fish'n'chips followed. Thanks to all who travelled, especially Mike McCarthy en route to an appointment at the Spire Hospital and Mark also en route to see Janet at Addenbrookes again. At least they missed my dodgy jokes of the day.
It's one of my two favourite away courses, I'll definitely be back next year.
