The first hole set the tone for most of the match. M sneaked a win by 1 point. On the 2nd I had a VERY luck break chipping onto the green and getting the ball stopped by M while he marked his card. I could not have planned it better I got a par and won the hole by 1. Holes continued this way with 1 point wins. At 8 holes we were 3 each but on the 9th M went on the rampage winning 5 in a row. With recent form M was hitting his 3W well from the tee putting me under pressure to use my 4r. This did not work too bad and in the end my score was only poor not terrible. With 4 to go I needed to win 4 in a row just to draw but it was too much and yet again the Geller trophy stays North.
It has to be said that the wind played an important part in the play in this match with very strong gusts not the best for great golf.

Only 5 proper golf scores with 2 par 4s and 3 birdies. My putting on the back 9 saved 4 (good job!) I only messed up 3 all on the front 9. The 3rd with a duff from the tee and a 3 putt. The 5th was unlucky landing in the bunker and getting stuck and then 3 putting. The 8th was silly as my tee shot was a good one but I took 5 to the green. If I had avoided bunkers this would have saved 3, 3 putts would save 4 and the ball lost in the lake on the 18th 1 more, 110 is on my limit for acceptable but it was close and fun.
