Although we were unlucky enough to 'win' the trophy again, a few words are due to Josh and I only wish that I were sober enough to post them! But, here goes.

Yours truly lost his ball on the first after a couple of crap shots but Josh, cool as ever, kept us in the game against that well known Meva bandit Rob Blames. A steady second hole, superb third shot to the third, followed by a battling fourth, fifth and sixth kept me off the card. Bunty and Blames were rocking! Unlike John Smith, Josh then carried on throughout the round, posting par after bogey on a difficult course, followed by a magnificent birdie on the 15th to blow away the opposition. He was awesome as the yanks say!

On the par 3 17th his drive took him to the back fringe with me in the bunker short right. Rob was on the green with his 'trusty' 4 iron. I played the bunker shot of my life to get within 3 feet but Josh was up and down in 3 and my putt was not required - again!

Bunty & Blames had the 4th best score of the day but it was immaterial; Josh rules OK? It was a pleasure to be in his shadow.
