Errol Estates 7:56 AM September 25^th 2008 The front would be played on the Highland and the back on the Lake.

Greg has been sick for a week and today was no different as he was seen hacking and sneezing on the 1^st tee. CW always thinking of the safety of the stable of athletes in the cup race suggested that JR locate some filters to protect all the rest of us. So there we stand on the 1^st tee box. Greg gasping in laughter while JR, Lou (poor attempt) and CW await the beginning of the competition with their painter filters strapped on their faces. JR always one to communicate had printed across the front of each the following.

STAND BACK MANN

Tee shots where struck and balls found many different lies and JR took the lead by 3 over Greg with Lou and Chuck following. 2^nd hole chewed CW up and he was immediately down 10 strokes to the leader. The 3 par again saw JR extend his lead as he was the only one to par. The 4^th saw Chuck, Lou and JR par and Greg fall back another 2 strokes. That’s when the earth shook, I’m sure you all felt it. JR was in a commanding lead and what does he do? He blows the ball OB and goes on to record a 9. These boys can smell blood in the water two zip codes away. Greg immediately cranks it up a notch and shoots 1 over par over the next 3 holes to close on JR and take the lead at the turn. He is up 2 on JR who is up 3 on Lou and CW is 5 back of Lou. It is a fickle game this game of golf.

The 10^th hole today would have a beautiful view looking down into the valley and all drives where struck and play would continue down the fairway. Lou was in a strong position until his 5^th shot was hit twice. Greg extended his lead by 2. The 11^th had Chuck and Lou recording par and Greg giving up two strokes. CW went in to hyper drive and recorded 4 pars in a row. At this point everything has changed from the beginning of the match. We are on the 15^th tee box and Greg leads Lou by 5 with JR and CW tied 1 back of Lou. Lou closes the gap to only 3 and we are looking for a wild ride to the club house with only 3 holes to play. There was a slight delay while Greg hosts a conference call, the other three played on and waited patiently. He was not flustered as he extends his lead back to 5 and the rest is history. That is with the one exception on the 18^th. CW is in 3^rd position 1 shot over JR. We do remember that the last place contestant has the honor of buying the Winners lunch. So one would think that CW would go into protect mode. On to the Tee box and all drives where struck. We will drop the color on Lou and Greg at this time for they are locked into their position.

JR finds himself on the green in 4. CW (remember he has a 1 stroke lead of JR) is lying 100 yards out in 2. He proceeds to hit the 3^rd to the left side of the cart path and asks for a ruling on his ball. JR and Greg confer and agree to a fee drop. This is within 30 yards of the green. He will score today a 9 on this hole. CW will have to confer with his Elders and come up with a new course or some consideration that in future matches he would be exempt from playing the 18^th hole on the Lake course. Yes this is the same hole that he (being in 1^st place with a 1 shot lead) slid all the way back to 4^th in Match 19 on June the 19^th. Always remember the Golf Gods will not be mocked. He who is looking for birdies instead of boggies is due to repeat their past errors. Or as CW likes to say. RECOVERY IS A WONDERFUL THING on to Rock Springs Ridge.
