Sandy and Jeff Garrison Wrap-Up Group 2 TGIF League Championship!

The battle came down to the last night.  Sandy and Jeff Garrison were in a hotly contested battle for first place with Ruth and Jerry Paul.  Throughout the long, hot season, Ruth and Jerry led or shared the lead of the league most weeks since week three.  Going into last week's matches, the Paul's trailed the Garrison's by two points.  As Kathy and I were starting our match Friday night, Sandy and Jeff were finishing their "match" on number nine, by themselves!  Seems they were able to convince Sandy Bowie to move up her hip replacement surgery so the Garrison's could get a forfeit, almost guaranteeing a league championship for Sandy and Jeff!  Wow, some people will do almost anything to win!  Seriously, Sandy Bowie, hope you are recovering well, and congratulations to Sandy and Jeff!

In addition to winning the championship, Sandy Garrison was closest to the pin on #7, and Jerry Paul was closest on #5.  Nice shots, Sandy and Jerry.  Sandy, remind me when we see each other next to give you the closest to the pin prize!

Here are some scores from last Friday night:  41, 39, 44, 38, 50, 53, 45, 40, 35, 52, 65, 38 and 64!  That was a little tribute to George Carlin and the Hippy Dippy Weather Man--remember him, when he would say here are some temperatures!  Funny!

Now, here are some notably good scores from last Friday night:
Kathy Pare, Net 31
Ruth Paul, Net 35
Dave Shaut, 38/Net 33
Kathy Shaut, Net 31
Sandy Garrison, Net 33 

Birdies, there were a couple.  Dick Wilson, subbing for Ben Basone, had a birdie 3 on #1.  And yours truly, had a birdie 2 on #5.

It doesn't seem possible the league season is coming to an end.  This Friday night is the last league night for Group 1.  I forwarded an email from O'Bannon Creek Golf Club earlier today about the Loveland Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing being held Friday afternoon.  Due to the outing, league play will start at 5:30 PM.

And, if you haven't already told me by email (dshaut@gmail.com), let me know if you want to play Friday, August 27th, so I can put a schedule and game together.  I need to hear from you by this Friday, August 20th, if you want to play.

Also, please let me know by this Friday, August 20th, if you will be playing in the Closing Event, Friday, September 10th, and having dinner with us.  If some of you will only be having dinner, let me know that as well.  Thanks.
