Great two days, scorching weather on the Thursday and cooler on the Friday. First round match against Trent (Thursday) was won 2 & half to half. Second round match against Liverpool (Friday), 2016 winners, was narrowly lost 2-1. Two matches went down the 18th, one won and one lost. So very close.
New acronym learnt during the competition against Trent was a NITBY. When facing that delicate shot over a bunker onto the green and someone calls a NITBY……….Not In The Bunker Yet!!
Cheers
Richard (stand-in Captain)
