  • The foot wedge.

    I managed to get my way into the final of my clubs matchplay competition this year and played the final last weekend. My opponent is well known, for how should I put it, cheating. I decide at the start of the round to watch him like a hawk on every shot.

    Things progress well all the way til the 18th, (i'm 1 up at this point) no sign of any cheating, fantastic I think. I hit 1st off the long par 4 18th tee and find the middle of the fairway, my opponent carves his drive into the thick rough on the right(don't often find them over there i think to myself). With me to play 1st I decide not to risk a shot of 200 yards into the wind over a ditch to the green, i'm thinking a bogey will be enough to secure a half, I hit a nice 6 iron down the middle.

    We then start to look for my opponents ball and after a while I find it burried, a hack out at best as you can only just see the top of the ball. I then walk away to give the guy some space, some 20 yards away. When I next look I see him with a 3 wood in his hand where he smacks it on to the green. IMO there is no way he could have hit anything more than a PW from the lie he had. Anyway he ends up with par and I make 5, the dreaded extra holes. Luckily I make a 3 to his 4 on the 1st and win.

    hi Davie
    its good you kept your cool as many of us get so upset at things like that its eats away at us and stops us playing well, good you triumphed at the extra hole.
    well done.
