One Shot Wonder

A golfing week that got progressively worse for Tuckers had one moment of salvation at 10.45 on Saturday Morning.

After a tongue in cheek coverage of Father Tuckwell's Ruddington round the Golfing Gods dished out a little pay back as first Doc Brown was victorious in Tuckers back yard with a comprehensive 3&1 performance at Stanton, on a windswept Wednesday.

Tuckwell and Meadows faced much better golfing conditions in the Thursday Medal once again at Stanton, one over through 5 for Tuckwell seemed satisfactory with both players becoming agitated by the slow play. 13 over for the remaining 13 holes and not one creditable shot left Tuckwell bemoaning his ineptitude as Meadows sneeked a pleasing one shot victory. Canning a bunker shot on 16 the highlight after 2 previous near misses earlier.

A fourball with A.T. and his Belton Buddies, Friday morning was unsuccessfully swerved with the game in tatters. 8 lost balls in 7 holes leaving the recently met partner shaking his head in disbelief.

Still the Saturday Medal would surely be welcome relief...

Front 9:
4 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 5 - 4 - 4 - 5 = 36
4 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 4 - 7 - 7 - 6 - 4 = 47


Back 9:
3 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 5 = 37
3 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 7 - 1 - 5 - 7 - 9 = 45



There it was on the 15th hole a drilled 4 iron that was hit too hard and slightly pulled but pitched 3 foot from the pin and gave an almighty clatter. A half hearted look around the green revealed nothing before a closer examination of the hole revealed the titleist 2 sitting in the bottom of the cup! Joy of joys before working out how much the bar tab would cost - if only you were golf planned up! I would like to say that the elation caused the 7 - 9 finish for a glorious 92 but alas I cannot and no worries Dafty for my end of season run.

School can't come round quick enough!
