More to come, but this is a brief update on the last official league night, August 20th. As most of you know, Kathy and I took a trip to France, had a great time, but I've been a bit behind on a number of things, including posting to this and other blogs.
Dave Forsthoefel gave me this whole sob story about how the Thiel's cheated in the last match, robbing him and Arlene of yet another TGIF Championship. He even wrote his own detailed summary so I could post or read at the closing event dinner (which I will probably do). Anyway, all for naught, since Arlene and Dave did win the Group 1 Championship ( for what that is worth), by 4 points. Dale and Janet Lindle were second with 83 points, followed by two couples tied at 76 points, "Irish" Wayne and "Mississippi" Lina Stokes and Janet and Dale Lindle.
I may fill in some highlights from the final official night of play Friday night during my two hours of comments following dinner!
August 27th, four couples played a little TGIF unofficial event, two best balls of the foursome, one ball from the men, one ball the ladies. The four teams were Paul-Gennaro, Wilson-Smith, Downing-Porter, and Bunn-Lindle. There were some pretty amazing scores and if there was any real money on the line (especially if the money was mine), I'd ask for an audit, and probably referees next time this post season event is held! For those of you not familiar with playing 2-best ball of the foursome events, a score of 5 or 6 under par is very good for nine holes. Anything over that is phenomenal, especially a mixed couples event. But TGIF players are exceptional, as indicated by the following scores:
1. Team Wilson/Smith: 60, 29 for the men, 31 for the ladies, 12 under par (remember, ladies par is 37. Wow!
2. Team Gennaro/Paul: 63, 30 for the men, 33 for the ladies, 9 under par, another very good score.
3. Team Bunn/Lindle: 67, 30 for the men, 37 for the ladies, 5 under par, a winner on most Saturday morning games.
4. Team Downing/Porter: 70, 36 for the men, 34 for the ladies, 2 under par, again, this score would have won the front nine in the Pope Skins game last Saturday morning.
There will be some small recognition for the top two teams in this mini event at the Friday night closing dinner. Seems as though this event was enjoyed by all and we may do this with our full field once or twice next year, depending upon what the new commissioner wants to do.
See y'all Friday night. Scramble starts at 5. Please consider taking a cart, since that makes scrambles move better. As of this morning, we have 44 people signed up for golf, and 47 for dinner, so we will have a nice group.
Dave
