| Ian feeding entry into golf pig as Bob tries to pretend he has no change |
The round started badly for Kevin and after first battling against a badly placed tree on the first he saw a good looking approach end up in the bunker and refuse to come out. However the bunker was punished as Kevin attacked it with his club before a fine display of swearing and more club throwing on the next hole. Things got worse and after the first 9 holes only 7 pts were in his golfing points bag.

| Kevin attempting to chip after taking an unplayable penalty drop from under a badly positioned tree on the first. It was the first of 5 front 9 blobs |
John had the opposite problem and after a solid front 9 (15 pts) fell away badly on the back 9 getting only 9 pts. The highlights were some fine swearing and a nettle bush getting an exceptionally savage beating with a 7 iron.
 |
| John scrambling well for a point on the 5th. |
 |
| John 3 off the tee on the 14th leading to one of four back 9 blobs. |
With Kevin and John's huffing and puffing Chris did well to keep her game under control and had a solid front 9 of 15 pts.
 |
| Chris teeing off on the first |
Kevin had a good back 9 with the highlight being a birdie (his first of the season) on the last. He still finished with a dismal 23 pts and last place. Despite this birdie and John's poor back 9 he still beat Kevin by 1 pt with 24 pts.
 |
| Kevin tee shot on the par 3 12th leading to a 4 for ONE!!!!!! |
Chris also had a good back scoring 16 pts for a total of 31 and third place for 1 OOM point.
 |
| Chris tee shot on 10th. It was never seen again but by using Bob dropping rules she took a penalty and scored a point. |
Meanwhile in the group behind a ding dong golfing battle was underway with points (and enormous handicaps) a plenty. Both Ian and Bob had the Diss course tamed and secured 21 pts each on the front 9.
 |
| Ian approach to 10th and surprisingly only 1 pt. |
It was neck and neck as the pair approached the last with 37 pts to Bob and 36 pts for Ian.
 |
| Ian and Bob on tee on 12th. I was waiting for Bob's tee shot but halfway through his pre tee shot routine the phone battery light start to flash so I had to take photo. When he started his pre tee shot routine the phone was fully charged. |
As Ian played perfect golf down the 18th Bob got into difficulty and failed to score. Ian got a par 5 for 3pts and won the day for the second round running.
 |
| Bob putting off the green to try and rescue some points on the 18th. He didn't |
So congratulations to Ian again. Its now on to Thorpeness in a fortnight where there is again a bumper field of 5 lined up to play.
