Round 3 at Diamondback. Best check the grid on the tee before swinging away.

Hi Guys,

Rd 3 done and dusted. As I said, I brought my "A" game this round and still only just scrapped in the win.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

here's an early round at Sleeping Bear Downs. Make the most of the mild conditions, it's not going to get any easier.

I was very fortunate on a couple of holes, when putts I thought were missing fell in. These greens are fun!

Cheers

Brad

57?!! Wow that is some great golf Brad! My play is the opposite of yours, putts I thought were going in usually miss! :laugh:

Thanks Jeff. I doubt greatly I will be able to repeat it in medium winds. In play-testing the course for you, I never broke 60.

I played rd1 alongside of my partner Brad.

Front nine was a back and forth while I had a few mistakes on the back nine which Brad took advantage of :wavey:
The 16th hole got away from me on the tee, otherwise not bad for me.

Jeff, this is one tough course!
Stepping up to the tee it's better to know where you want to come into the hole from. I found that pin 1 was reasonable.....If you hit the green
on spot.

Well Done !

Final round at Diamondback. A fun course, very well designed and somewhat diabolical for the unprepared.

Hi Guys,

just watched Galen's final round against Randy's and it was to and fro the whole way. Identical scores for the first six holes, then Randy took a two-shot lead by the ninth. Galen fought back with three straight birdies, before Randy hit his stride again and got his two-shot lead back. Galen fought back, to again square the match. Randy got away again late in the back nine and Galen unfortunately ran out of holes. A fitting final contest to our time at Diamondback Trail.

Tarheel's great round in Rd 4 saw him take out the round honours, just. :up:

Here are the results for our most recent tournament, with Randy's recent run of good form seeing him atop the leader-boards. Well played partner!

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

I said earlier that Juan would be a constant threat if he could fix his putter. We'll, we have another smokey! Young Mr. Grant is playing out of his sox at the moment. I just watched his first round at Sleeping Bear Downs against mine and, while I am giving him six shots on handicap, after the front nine he was beating me by one on stroke. "Burglar!" I hear you cry!

Thankfully, his normally trusty driver decided to bring him back to Earth on the back nine, which allowed me to restore some semblance of order to the world. Amazingly, this purple patch hasn't affected his handicap.....yet! :laugh:

Cheers

Brad
