Littlestone Golf Club v SHAPE GOLF TEAM
With an 80% chance of rain expected
the team from Littlestone arrived at RGCH at 1130 on the 15th May. The Captain of Littlestone arrived a little
later having driven around Mons 3 times. After a drink and sandwiches both teams headed off to the range to warm-up before
battle commenced. On paper the teams were very evenly matched, both teams having many single figure handicaps.
Hush descended on the 1st
tee apart from when Lenny teed off. The weather was holding out, NO rain, the first fourball set out on Bruyere at 1300. From
the stories afterwards on the terrace, some great golf was played out on the course. After the singles the SHAPE team had
a commanding lead.
Dinner in the club was again a splendid
affair with a wonderful spread laid on by the staff (Sean donate his Skins money as a Tip!!!), we got away with only a couple
of jokes from Lenny. The host and guest dispersed to various houses around SHAPE and some continued to party into the night.
Next morning bleary eyed we all met
for a cooked breakfast before the 4BBB matches. Unfortunately we had to endure 15mins of rain, the first and last over the
2 days. Again evenly matched groups set off on Les Etangs and the SHAPE team once again showed their knowledge of the course
to be an advantage.
We all enjoyed a fabulous lunch on
the terrace in bright sunshine and reminisced about long drives and missed putts. We finished lunch with a few words from
both Captains and a promise to continue the hostilities at Littlestone on the 7/8th Oct.
The result so far is 32 ½ - 12 ½ to
be continue at Littlestone G.C.
