What a ripper of a day!
Sure he can strike the ball but he has the control of a dingo in a playground. However the conditions were perfect for an Aussie comeback. Much like Alan Border in 93 at Leeds, despite being on tour the conditions felt like home.
It all started with a near death midnight rescue of the Donkmobile in the outback. Things just felt right.
Standing on the first tee it was clear, we were looking at Royal Queensland. None of these English fairways built on mud and bunkers like a Queensland beach.
After a birdie on the 3rd racking up 5 points he knew he was back and confidence was high. In true Aussie form the tactics changed. To build on that confidence we needed an Englishman to sledge.
Poor Butters was the obvious target with a ball strike like a wet towel in the wind. Golf is a all about penetration and poor Butters has none.
The result was a record breaking 47 points and the win for the Aussie! Sure there are those that will complain a handicap of 28 wasn’t fair when he was off 7 when he was fifteen years old. Sure. But he’s only played shit golf for years.
At least Copters stole the Dog from the Aussie on the last. Despite using a semi-legal borrowed driver.
Boyce picked a marvellous shark at 10 foot but who cares really. The dog is where it’s at. Sadly new comer Jason came second on 41 points playing the game of his life but no cigar.
Boyce picked up 3rd on 34 managing his handicap for the weekend. All in all a bonza Queensland day!
