A match worth noting!!

Last Friday, one of our doubles match was played and went EXTRA long. It was between Diane Moffat and Lynda Rennick versus Dale Hodge and Bridget Smith. It was back and forth for 18 holes with no clear advantage being taken. It was tied after 18 and unfortunately Bridget had a prior commitment (9 holes of golf elsewhere!), so Dale soldiered on 2 against 1. Unbelievably, she took her opponents to the 9th hole. Yes, that's a 27-hole match before a winner was determined! We've had 6 extra holes several times, but I do not recall a match having to go to #9.  When did you last play 27 holes? And Diane and Dale walked all 27! Congrats to Diane and Lynda for winning, and Dale and Bridget for putting forth a battle!

Here are their three great shots into the 26th hole (#8) - no sloppy golf here!
