I've made it into the last 16 of our handicap singles after winning two ties in the last few weeks.
1st round I was getting 7 shots, it was all square after 15, I won 16 then he won 17 to take it up the last. I managed to win it with a par 4.
2nd round I was only getting 1 shot on the 12th, but managed to be 3 up after 7. He got back to 2 a couple of times but I was dormie after 15. He won 16, and on the par 3 17th he came up just short of the green. I then thinned an 8 iron that went like a tracer bullet that ended up on the green. He duffed his chip and I lagged it up close so it was game over.
Common denominator in both ties was that they were both in their early 30s and drove the ball for miles, but their short games were dreadful.
