The Claw was as bad as we thought it was. While conditions were nice, it'sjust too tight and unforgiving for us high-handicappers who spray the ball off the tee. So far this season, only Bloomingdale ranks harder in slope. On #14 (that horrible par 5 known as "The Claw) my team got a "smart" bogey by going: topped 3-wood, pitching wedge, 5-wood, pitching wedge, putt, putt.
Oh... and TMZito tried to get us kicked out of the clubhouse due to some provolone cheese. Good times though. And it was also nice to have everyone playing for only the 2nd time this season.
Justin/Chandler vs. E-Flo/Cong - The winner of this match controls their playoff destiny, while the loser needs a lot of help. Both teams got off to a slow start, with the whities stringing 3 bogeys together before settling down and the Asians getting double-bogey on the first two par 5's. And then it got really ugly on the back side. The paring was a combined 11 over on the first six holes, and Justin/Chandler clung to 3-stroke lead with three to play. Chandler basically wasn't even contributing at this point, so Justin decided to stick his tee-shot 4 feet from the pin on #16 to seal the win with a birdie. But E-Flo/Cong got revenge after the round, as their soccer team karate chopped Pete Carroll and team USA.

Robb/Buchanan vs. Reid/Geoff - The second match-up also featured teams that needed to win to assure some post-season golfing. With two strokes to start the round, Ebony and Ivory were in great position until they decided to shoot 5-over in the first five holes. Robb/Ryan had a three stroke lead at the turn, which quickly faded as they began the second half: bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, double-bogey, double-bogey, bogey. That's right... 9-over in a seven hole span. Not to worry, however, as Reid/Geoff shot 7-over in the same stretch, with a nasty triple-bogey on #15. This match was ugly, and yet down to the wire. Final score: Robb/Buchanan win 82-83 (net).
Bito/Gomez vs. Frank/Steve - A preview of the finals, perhaps? Maybe not. The best two handicapped teams are still... well... handicapped. But a win would go a long way to lock up the top seed. So what's better: old school glass bowl or the vaporizer? As Frank would say... the vape is hype! Allegedly Bito had one of his bad days as his team recorded three double-bogeys. Frank added some miraculous shots to Steve's steady play, allowing them to close out the game on hole #15 (picking up 3 strokes on that hole). Final score: Frank/Steve win 74-79 (net).
Tomorrow I'll post up week 8 details, as well as an explanation of how you turn a "handicap index" into a "course handicap" (which we will be using for the playoffs at World Woods).
TMZito and his 11 o'clock wanking hour
ReplyDeleteWhen most of the world settles in for sleep... Bito is wide awake... choking his chicken.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course... I'm watching in the bushes, allegedly.
The whole world now knows, "zito"
ReplyDeleteOur claw hole,
Drive to the left side of fairway in the rough/sand, sand wedge hit luckily off a tree into the fairway, bombed 3 wood, 7 iron to the fringe, made par putt.. led to Bito heavily drinking at that point.
That hole is stupid hard if you're on the left side in that rough/sand. Nice use of the trees though! No doubt that ruined all their hopes and dreams.
ReplyDeleteCan we get a synopsis of that conversation?
ReplyDeleteOur claw hole went something like this.
ReplyDelete(1)Reid hit a 3wood into the trees, I hit a 4 iron to the far right, but past the corner.
(2) I hit a three wood almost into the trees on the left of the hole with trees in our backswing & Reid hit a 3 wood to the left of the hole with tree in our backswing but closer to the hole.
(3)We both leave it short of the green due to said trees.
(4) we're on the green and two putt for 6 and were happy to get it.
That hole definitely blows.
forgot about the hoodrats, but it was awesome. We were on the par three by the road, and it sounds like two people fighting. We stop what were doing and look at them. The guy is not wearing a shirt and his pants were down to his knees. The girl,, basic ghetto... So it sounds like someone is about to get shot they way they are talking. They get up next to us, and they're just having a regular convo, like talking about food and shit. Bito starts mocking them, while they're screaming in his back-putt and he sinks it, nonchalantly. Pretty hype
ReplyDeletebtw bito had a shot that bounced off a moving car tire
ReplyDeleteWe got a lot of honks by the road... more than usual.. we weven had a guy slow down and "hoot" at us to amuse himself on 17... strange day.
