Match Play:
Match play final: The winner of the Jock Oehlers Match Play Championship Shield is Alan Smith who defeated Tom McClain 3 up with two holes to play – Ladder. The final was played in very pleasant sunny conditions on the Old Course on Monday 6 May 2024.  To get to the final, Alan had to defeat Ric Haddleton, John Stone and Ian Johnsen which he did fairly comfortably 5/4, 7/6 and 4/2.  Tom McClain’s route to the final was via Graham McHarrie 6/4, Grant Saunders 5/4 and John Allen 2 up.  A hard fought competition and well played to both finalists to get that far. 
The photo shows president David Hayes congratulating the 2024 match play champion Alan Smith whilst runner-up Tom McClain looks on.

Wife’s Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird.   We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. 

I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late but he made no comment on it.
Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk.   He agreed, but he didn’t say much.  I asked him what was wrong;  He said, ‘Nothing.”

I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.  He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me and not to worry about it. 
On the way home, I told him that I loved him.  He smiled slightly and kept driving. I can’t explain his behaviour.  I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too.’ 
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.  He just sat there quietly, and watched TV.  He continued to seem distant and absent.
Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed.  About 15 minutes later, he came to bed.
But I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else.  He fell asleep; I cried. I don’t know what to do.
I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.

Husband’s Diary:    

A one-foot putt .. who the hell misses a one-foot putt!
