No Sense Of Humor

That's what I knew and had reinforced yesterday about some of the JRSRs.  You would think that playing 4BB was like the worst thing that happened to these guys.  I guess I'm getting ahead of myself and should start at the beginning.

Upon my return from IR and resuming my role as daily captain I thought it would be helpful to play 4BB in an effort to help prepare everyone for the championship that we'll have later this year.  Plus I know that my subs had been mixing things up (and apparently the players) with some new formats.  Plus we had a big crowd (16 players) and I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to contribute.  The moaning, chaos, and general complaining that ensued was historic.  First of all I found out some don't listen or don't believe what they hear and tried to submit a 2BB score.  The 12 other players thought that was grounds for disqualification.  The real reason was that team was leading after recalculation to the proper format.  They had the remarkable score of minus 6.  The next closest was plus 2 (which included all 4 players in the water at no. 2).  The remaining scores spiraled upward from there and aren't really worthy of comment.  It was interesting to note my intellectual capacity was only challenged a few times;  there were only three threats to join TCC;  one serious proposal to name a new captain (no one really wanted the clip board);  and, six who vowed to find another group to join.  I guess that'll end any future social experiments.

There has been a lot of lively debate about rules recently.  The GWH had a question that is intriguing.  No one had had ever heard of invoking the yellow stake rule on an unmarked hazard.  You'll have to see him for details.  There have also been a lot of questions concerning adjustable clubs.  We're still trying to get clarification on that issue.

See ya at the lobster dinner,

PS - All four players being in the water on the same hole deserves to have a term.  Any thoughts?

PPS -  The Big Bertha driver was introduced in 1991 and was 190cc.  Taylor Made introduced the Burner metal driver in 1979 and it was the same size as a wooden headed club.  My how things have changed.
