It was hotter than... Jamaica yesterday. But the course was ripe for low scores despite a little bit of wind in the air. Most of us failed to obtain those low scores.
JW came out swinging less than his handicap predicted, shooting a net 29 on the front. At the turn Darren sent out a text saying: "It's over." Unfortunately for JW, Geoff also shot a net 29 on the front thanks to four pars and only one blowup hole. Geoff actually had the lowest gross score in the league on the front side (44), which is pretty impressive.
Geoff's goal on the back nine was to beat his epic collapse in the Summer 2012 season (he shot 55 on the back to finish 3rd). With only one par it was close, but he was able to keep it together and win by 3 strokes.
Reid played very solid throughout the day, carding six pars and two birdies to finish 2nd. He had some ridiculously lucky bounces... but he remains at the top of the standings.
JW got the Crazy Eight disease, starting the back nine 8-8-8 and falling to 3rd place.
Brendan bought another pitcher of beer.
--------------------------
Only three people are mathematically able to win the Cup. Chandler needs a victory and a ton of help. Geoff needs a top 3 finish combined with a Reid collapse. Reid controls his own destiny with a top 2 finish.
Everyone from yesterday said they were in for next week except Tall Mike. So if anyone else is in make a comment.
Gorecki is "looking" to get us on TPC Tampa at a cheap rate. He has until about 2pm on Tuesday before I just book us somewhere else. Probably Cypress Creek since it's cheap and super difficult.
--------------------------
Tall Mike got lost yesterday and went to the wrong course. If you ever need to know the address of a course... you can click the course link on the "Courses" tab at the top of this blog. Or use the date link on the schedule (ie: Apr 27). That takes you to the tournament standings and the course address is at the top.
Reid borrowed Chandler's horseshoe, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI think in order for Chandler or me to win next week we're gong to have to dial the smack talk up to 11.
Maybe I'll bring my driver tool and change the setting on his stick... is that legal?
It's not a bad idea. He had a lot of 280ish drives yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI had 2 birds yesterday, Sir!

ReplyDeleteYou're right. I fixed it.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a problem with me being the "marker" in the final group next week? Since Chandler will need to somewhat focus on his round I want a front row seat so I can help document this potentially epic shootout.
ReplyDeleteSand bagging Reid at the top. He's a 12-15 handicap and plays at a 20. ridiculous! Need Shooter McGavin to pay me off and I'll drive a VW Beetle across the fairway and run him down. Unless he gets his Usain Bolt on and escapes.
ReplyDeleteYou in for next week, Dan?
ReplyDeleteNo SB here Mr. Play from the tips. You just need to check the facts of the pass seasons.
ReplyDeleteThe Process and my Mental game is coming around.
