Season 2 - Week 2 Recap

This morning was cold and blustery. Forecasts had the rain as high as 50%. But DPT Golf must go on rain or shine (just not lightning). And as a reward... the day was actually pretty nice.

Chandler/Justin vs. Ryan/Robb
Ginger Brown came into the season with a ton of confidence after a busy off-season practice regimen. But all that has been thrown out the window as Chandler is in a horrible slump, and at times can't even seem to hit a ball. Justin's shoulders were strong, but two double bogeys (on #5 and #14) ruined any chance of an easy victory. And don't let Ryan/Robb fool you. They play a perfectly complimented game, with Robb's monster drives and Buchanan's stellar short game. In fact, their median DPT gross average is a 77, the same as Chandler/Justin. Which only means that they're more inconsistent, but will bury you if you don't play well. Final score: Ryan/Robb win 76-80 (net).

Bito/Gomez vs. E-Flo/Cong
After starting an impressive +1 through five holes, the Asians went on a bogey-fest... carding +5 on their next four holes. Bito/Gomez didn't fare much better, finding themselves two down after 13. But on the difficult par-5 14th hole, the Lin-sanity stopped when Eric and Cong recorded a triple-bogey 8. It wasn't quite cold enough for a snowman, and Bito/Gomez's birdie really iced the Yellow Mambas. On the final two holes with a huge gallery following, Bito wowed the crowd with some clutch shots and a solo par on #18. Final score: Bito/Gomez win 78-82 (net).

Next week Bito/Gomez take on Robb/Ryan in the only official game. We're playing Heritage Harbor ($32), and the first group tees off at 11:15am.  The exhibition game tees off at 11:22am.

Exhibition Match: Chandler, Geoff, Reid, TBD
