On a beautiful Bella Vista morn, Anne McClintock and Deb Metz took to the Dogwood Hills course against Patty Walker and Nan DeLany. With multiple commitments on the horizon, the WGC ladies and the match play organizers were gracious enough to let this match tag along with the WGC Thursday play. A huge thank you to Kathy Zumbro for all her extra work with rearranging the foursomes.
With a bye the first round this was the first actual match for McClintock/Metz, while Walker/DeLany had just got their first round match in on Tuesday. Starting on the par 5 fifth hole the match stayed even until the 7th hole where Walker/DeLany went one up. Another point on the 9th hole and then another on the 12th hole with a birdie by Walker, put their team up by three. McClintock/Metz took holes 13 and 16 to pull within one. Holes 17 and 18 were taken by the Walker/DeLany team to make the match 5-2 with four holes to go. Although all four tee shots were good, McClintock’s second shot landed in the right bunker, while Metz, Walker and DeLany all lay in front of the green. Walker was away and chipped in for another birdie! McClintock and Metz gave it a valiant effort but fell short.
A fun time was had by all, but winning is always more fun than losing, and we thank Anne and Deb for being such gracious competitors.
