It is generally said that it is a good thing to get away to a flying start. That is, so long as you do not find yourself in a count back at the end of the day. Andy got away to a flyer scoring 9 points on the first 3 holes but the gloss wore off as the morning wore on. Five points to Dick Secomb on the 6th hole of the day (the 9th) suddenly saw Andy under threat and when finally they both finished with 21 points Dick won the count back easily. The only other player was Dick Cleland who took the Mars Bar with 17.
