When we first heard that we were going to Paultons we were rather surprised, but it turned out to be a very pleasant golf course with some testing holes and in excellent condition. The greens were rather “nappy” so putts did not roll out and it accentuated the borrow near the hole. The Hampshire captain and I lost track of the number of putts that stopped an inch short.
It was one of those matches that when they went through the eighth tee it looked like a 6/4 victory for us. After the fourteenth maybe 5 ½ / 4 ½ to us. After the sixteenth with John Nash and Campbell Boal both one down with two to play I was keeping my fingers crossed for 5/5. However both of them came through with halved matches and as you can see we managed our first win of the season relegating Hampshire to the wooden spoon position in the league.
The league this year has been strange. Last year Sussex lost every match and yet this year they won every match and the league, even beating Kent by the unheard of margin of 8 ½ - 1 ½. Last year Hampshire beat us to win the league and yet this year they have lost three and only halved one. Will fortune smile on Dorset next year?Created by intelligentgolf version 10.1.2.
