Day 3 - Round 3 and the Grenadiers are in need of a good result today. Arriving at Monte de Marsan golf club, many of us looking slightly jaded from the previous 2 days in hot conditions and a fairly long drive to the course. A few of us were hoping that an easier challenge lay ahead, a relatively flat course should have been easier on our aching legs and sore feet (for those walking), however we were greeted by a tight course, pine lined fairways, bunkers galore and greens that would challenge the best of us putters.
A shotgun start and we were off, some from the 18th (Only to realise it was the 9th, so had to walk 3 holes before even hitting a shot). The rest scattered between the 17th and the 1st. The Grenadiers put out a strong team hoping to claw back points from yesterday and sneak a win (I'm pretty sure I heard their captain say "Today is our day", But I think he was talking to Vicky who's ah/hum Birthday it was today)
Sadly, lunch came all too quickly. Some amazing rounds of golf were being discussed but the Grenadiers faces told the story of a team that just couldn't fight back from being 12 points down the day before. We only took 1 photo - that of the Grenadiers Captain 'Gaz' with his opponent Christine who won.. well, lets just say he managed over half the round!! lol

They say a picture can say a thousand words. It appears to be true. Captain Gaz gracefully accepts his defeat to Christine Vidaud 6/4
