ANOTHER BOGGY DO!!  In fact the rain overnight and in the morning caused efforts to try and cancel by both participants, but the Pro shop said the course was open and playable.  The radar showed the rain patches were thinning so we turned up expecting a muddy soaking.  As freakish luck would have it, by tee time it had stopped raining and there was hardly a drop of rain during the game as all the nasty stuff was just north of us, no doubt doling it out to Mona Vale and Bayview.  In fairness there were few puddles, and the bunkers were in play, but you would have to say that large parts of the fairways would be classed as standing water which welled up around the shoes if you stood still for long enough.  Most of the sprinkler heads were little round pools of water!  Nice close match in the mud with the deciding factor probably being Andy sinking a long putt for a 3/4 on the 13^th.  Three games played this season, and Andy has won two of them – Congratulations!!

Handicaps unchanged.
