The golf week started with high hopes by everyone to score well since it was the beginning of June and all the rust should have been knocked off. Well the best laid plans and hopes often go astray. So was the case with my team on Tuesday, and I might add one other team also. Being the Captain for the day a format of two best ball of four seemed reasonable. The pairings were made with the mindset to try to equalize the teams. Everything was fine until the second hole. My group started out like a hose a fire and was -3 after one. Then the golf goblins woke up and played a nasty trick. We played the next hole in four over, and it was down hill after that. We finished 34 shots off the winning score. While there are no official records no one can remember anything like that happening before. The second place team wasn't much better. They were 22 shots behind the first place team. To say it was a run away is an understatement. The next days returned to normal with much closer competition. I might also add that scores improved dramatically from Tuesday to Thursday.
The SOTD had a number of close calls, but no winners. I need to conduct a money count, but think there is around $130,00 in the pot. I haven't been able to update the section of the blog that tracks this for some unknown reason, but hope to solve this problem soon.
Since Jack's tournament will conclude on Sunday we should be able to look forward to Summer weather. Hope to see ya all at the training table.
