Remember all the complaints in past years about Commissioner Fred "What's His Name", how he couldn't control the weather? Well, the new guy, Dave "What's His Name" is no better. The May 21st TGIF matches were canceled due to torrential rain and thunderstorms. Fortunately, only a few matches were underway and no one got wet (or too wet). The new commissioner's match had just started, and he was never happier to hear the storm siren because Jay Kuhn had just hit his approach shot to gimme range on #1 for a sure birdie. Was going to be a tough night if Jay kept doing that so better to retreat to the clubhouse, start drinking and eating! At least Duke energy kept the power on so we were able to enjoy dinner and drinks. Thanks to all the league members who showed up even though the weather was very iffy and ultimately washed out the matches. We still had a good night in the restaurant.
This year prizes for closest to the pin (three golf balls) will be awarded right away instead of at the end of the year. So, if you win closest to the pin, I will hand you some balls the next time I see you, or ask me for them when you see me. I will usually have some in my golf cart or bag. I think I'm current with everyone except Kathy Pare now. Kathy, you will have to track me down to get your balls!
Due to the Acomb, there are only 3 TGIF nights in June. But, don't let that keep you from coming out to play on Friday night, even if you aren't scheduled for a match. The back nine is always open so call a couple from your flight, maybe someone you aren't scheduled to play this year, and come on out to O'Bannon Creek and play on Friday night. Just as importantly, have dinner after you play.
Everyone, remember, the restaurant counts on the TGIF league for a base of business on Friday nights. So, even if matches are canceled due to weather, please still come out for dinner. And, make reservations a few days in advance so Mo knows how to staff the restaurant to serve us all. Thanks for supporting TGIF and O'Bannon Creek!
