CON STORMS BACK
Ding-dong matchplay with Dave ends in victory on the last.
As the ground thawed and the mud thickened, Fort Baxter struggled to maintain last week's standards. However, there was another close set of scores that had everyone battling to the last. In the Matchplay, Dave and Con were never more than a hole apart. It took a par on the seventh for Dave to break the deadlock, but then he slipped with a seven on the easy eighth. Anopther fantastic drive on nine handed him the lead again, although his drive on ten was too fantastic and found itself in the ditch. Bouncing back with a par, he faced his jinx patch and sure enough lost two holes on the par threes. He pulled level by being the least bad on fourteen but then completely screwed up another easy hole. Par on sixteen saw things level, but Con dropped his only par to take the leqad with one to go. After a struggle on the last, Con gave Dave a chance of a tie, but his long put just swerved over the last six inches.
In the Stableford, Dave and Con battled for the lead, as Geoff quietly battled back from another poor start. Con was three points clear with three to go, but there was a great battle for second. Geoff fionally sneaked in with ten points over the last four holes, whilst Mike's nine points gave him a third share of third place along with Alan and Dave.
