Jamaican Open Recap - Spring 2015

So as predicted, Pebble Creek screwed up our tee times... and for some reason the live scoring app did some weird things. But we still had a pretty good day yesterday.

Only 5 strokes separated the top 8 players. Darren "The Baron" limited the blow-up holes to win his second tournament of the year, despite only having one par on his card (and one birdie). Reid, John and Dave finished two back in ties for 2nd place. Reid had a sizable lead on the field until he blew up on the par 5 8th hole. John made a late charge but ultimately fell short with doubles on 16 and 18. And Dave is still searching for his first ever victory after making a hideous triple bogey on the 17th hole.

With Darren's victory, only Buchert and Tall Mike have a chance of catching him. Both don't necessarily need victories to win the cup... but they do need high finishes with Darren hanging out in the cellar. Mike basically can't finish lower than 2nd the last two weeks.

This week is the dreaded Hangover Invitational. Everyone playing for points and money must show up to the bar at 9pm. Every 15 minutes late is a penalty shot. On Sunday we play at Quail Hollow, which has hosted three previous Hangovers. Tee time is 10am, cost is $40 plus tax.

I have a full 12 people signed up, which includes everyone who told me they were playing plus Reid's friend from out of town. If ANYONE else out there wants to play but isn't on the list, let me know ASAP so I can add another tee time.

As of today... Jesus is still causing Big John to play for fun on Sunday. Unless the leaders agree to let him in the event sans hangover.

We're also still waiting on Gorecki to finalize the deal with the bar. It's scary letting him be in charge of things, but I'll let you know how that turns out after his afternoon nap.

-------------------------------

Slight movement in the Official Golf Rankings. Buchert is two tournaments away from his debut near the top of the list. Watch for Geoff to drop from 4th to near last after this week. Darren has pretty much locked up one of the captain spots for this years Ryder Cup.
