JW Hangover Invitational - Stats & (Un)interesting Facts

The newly re-branded JW Hangover Invitational may have suffered a little in terms of attendance but the six of us managed to pick up the slack for all the no-shows.  Man, the sights and sounds of this Carrollwood hot spot were not to be missed!  We had Lafawnduh on the stage, mini Sly Stallone (toupee and all) on the dance floor, Big John's cougar friend getting denied by Gary, and Darren even decided to add some much needed "character" to the coveted DPT Cup after being forced to throw down a few penalty shots.

Not surprisingly, the previous night's shenanigans led to some interesting results on the course.  We now have rock solid proof (see chart below) that extremely hungover people run out of gas after 13 holes.  The par-3 13th truly was the peak of our group performance.  It's the only hole this season to have a scoring average of less than par with Chandler making birdie and the other five all making par.

There were a few individual highlights worth noting.

- JW made his first greenie and his first sandie
- JW went 14 holes before making a max double par (his longest stretch of the season)
- Chandler made two 2s, nobody else has done that this season except Gary at Countryway
- Faz made eagle, only the 2nd one in league history
- John earned his highest career finish (2nd)
- Darren is still without a par on a par-5 (20 attempts)


I leave you with this gem from Friday night...

Off to the Big & Tall store in their Z4

  1. I may never par a par 5 again. It's just not in the cards for me.

  2. This from a guy who made par on 9 and 16 at Northdale last season. Two of the tougher par 5s we play.

  4. Faz, you should take my stats out and see how much worse my epic collapse made everyone else look.
