Cyder Cup Final Day - Singles
I could easily have pulled the plug on the golf today as the early morning weather was
miserable and the 18th green was partially waterlogged. So I will claim that I made a
brave decision in playing, which proved to be fully justified as, but for a very brief shower,
the course was perfectly acceptable. The Cyder Cup over three sessions is universally
liked as it is something different. Many players rarely if ever play fourballs or foursomes.
This week we did have a problem of absentees and there is some discussion about
bringing the competition forward next year as it is difficult to predict the weather in October.
At the end of the Week Vice's team triumphed over the Captain's team by 27 & 1/2 to 23 & 1/2.
Quite close but congratulations to James. It will soon be his Captain's year and he is already
off to a winning way. All members of his team will receive a pro rata payout whether they won
their matches or not.
