The season kicked off yesterday with the normal cast of bandits showing up. I was a little late so the LR Dr. stepped up to the plate and was captain for the day. As is normal he had to rearrange the teams three times as stragglers kept rolling in. He finally paired up 11 of us for a friendly game of 2BB and the fun commenced. Not has much changed from 2012. LTG, JJ, Par, and Bob D walked away with 1st place. What was amazing was Bob D shot 76 with a lame foot. He had some kind of toe surgery and was limping around pretty noticeably. How he managed that score is a big question mark.
It didn't take long for the first rules question. When we came in The Pilot, OTR, TGWH, and Jim M. were having a lengthy discussion on how many provisional balls you can have in play at one time. It seems The Pilot was having a little trouble with #17. I'm not it was ever resolved but the discussion was pretty humorous to say the least. OTR said he hasn't had as much fun since his golf trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago.
Since we are now posting scores these rounds will count for the qualification requirement for the JRSR Championship. You will still need 7 rounds to be eligible for the championship. Shouldn't be a real problem since the tournament is in August.
While riding down #6 fairway a phone in our cart rang. It was the club calling us wanting to know where we were. The phone (not ours) belonged to a guest who forgot to take it with him after playing. They sent one of the bag room staff out to retrieve it. I'm not sure how you forget your phone. But it should serve as a good reminder for all of us to check the cart when we finish to make sure we have our belongings
No SOTD winner, $10 more was added to the pot. See ya at the training table.

PS - Kudos to Eric and his staff for the great early season condition of the course.
