From the 19th Hole

September sometime 1997

I very seldom get the opportunity to play a round of golf and when I do it should be marked with a public holiday. I am the kind of person that makes a 27+ handicap look good. The last game I played was 8 years ago with a few friends from college. My score at the time was similar to the opening partnerships of the New Zealand Cricket team, (when they played exceptionally well), and my style of play was much similar to a cricket player, (glancing edges, balls disappering over fences, etc). Having described my abilities, (or lack thereof), I lead on to my most recent game against Richard Bright

The card below is a true and accurate reflection of the score, (when we remembered to write the score down). The fact that there are only 8 holes on the front 9 is due to a lapse on our part. I have put the score for the 9th hole as an average of our previous 8 scores.

When Owen Tumulty reads this page he may note that despite my best efforts Richard managed to birdie the 12th hole. I won't mention that this hole was shortened by 100 yards due to drainage work being conducted around the green. Or that these drains also shortend the 13th to a mere 150 yard chip shot over the water hazard. We both needed all the extra shots we could get.
