The contrast couldn't be much clearer. Tiger, realising he now can't win at the Blue Monster, wimps off after 11 holes complaining of a sore leg. 

Meanwhile Nance has bad feet, bad ankles, chronic elbows and a suspected malignancy in the chest. (Which turns out to be a bone that everyone since Adam has possessed). In addition Mr. Grumpy has the worst case of man-flu since medical records began, but bravely they hang on to snatch a team victory from Stan and Turbo with the last putt of the match.

It's a benign day and scoring should have been better, but Turbo celebrates his restoration to a 30 handicap with a welcome return to form to run out an easy individual winner. Ably supported by Stan they are actually five points down standing on the 8th tee, but add a couple of 3 pointers while Nance and Mr. G can only find one. So it's all square at the refeshments and still all square as they stand on the 18th tee. Mr. Grumpy then chooses this moment to return from a period of exile and his par down the last snatches victory.

An example of Nance and Mr. Grumpy's superior teamwork comes at the 7th. After a reasonable drive Mr. G inquires of Nance "how far is it to the brook". "210 yards" comes the unlikely answer, but Mr. G, trusting in Nance's superior skill, fishes out the 25 degree rescue club secure in the knowledge that in the face of a stiff breeze, he can't possibly reach.

The result? One Duck.
