Well, one can scarecely give it credence - but middle bruv and me hammered father and baby bruv 7&6 (colloquially described by the older generation as a "dog licence").
I'd love to say it was a classic encounter, fought under an azure sky as we traded birdie for birdie. Unfortunately, it pee'd down for the first 6 holes before finally settling on mirky and miserable, with the latter phase coincidentally describing father's mood! And the golf... well, essentially my partner and I won on the basis that we somehow engineered it so that we were not pish at the same hole. And, of course, it helped that the more consistent golfer in the opposing pair might have had slightly more success putting through windmills and clowns' faces.
It also helped that our pair weren't bothered by a bit of rain, while father anguished about the weather for the whole round. In a sense, I felt stronger when I saw his shoulders slump as the rain intensified - there's nothing quite as inspiring as watching the opposition suffer. Or watching an opponent three putt 8 of the first 9 greens... using a putter that you sold him.
Anyhoo, it's just a stupid game, and we all laughed it off at the end. Well, sort of.... just don't mention the third hole....

Don`t mention the 3rd hole,well I will.You walk off the green with a well earned half and next thing a plaintive wee voice says I have a putt for a 5 minus my stroke.Hey wait a minute you picked up your ball as you thought hole was won ,not thinking your young " bruv " had a putt for a five and a half.If your partner sways you to pick up and you do ...for one...that`s it ....and two ...you should pay attention to the game.You were distracted by the pouring rain like us all .That should have been it but your kind parent allowed you to replace your ball somewhere around where it originally lay and you did the ungentlemanly thing by rubbing it in by holing a 18 footer.Thing is it put the opposition 2 down and with the pouring rain they felt truly pished on.A foul stroke on reflection and it tarnishes any win even though it was handed to you by a barage of 3 putts on greens that were inconsistant.
By the way you do not mention the back nine where there stilll was a game going on where after being 3 up you went on to loose 5 of the last 6 holes and bit the dust on 18.
worst blog ever. Come on man, get updating!
