As Chandler already mentioned, Reid ended an incredibly
long win drought on Saturday and managed to tie the (as of two weeks ago) second
lowest net score in league history with -10.
You don’t often see a guy shoot 84 when they’re +11 combined on the par
3s and 5s but Reid absolutely destroyed the par 4s by playing them in +1, something
Buchert did as well.
Other Highlights
Faz was even on the par 3s and won all 4 greenies in the
process. Chandler was even on the par 5s
and was the only guy to make 5 on the 7th hole, which played to a
7.417 average and was the toughest on the day.
We made 13 birdies as a group, which is technically not a
league record since a field of only 9 players made a total of 15 birdies at
Countryway in the Spring ’13 season. But
in terms of birdies made on a real golf course it was very impressive seeing as
how we made a total of 16 in the first four events combined last season.
Lowlights
Chandler played the par 3s in +7 helped by making two max
6s, something he hasn’t done since Plantation Palms on March 17, 2013. In fact, he’s only made two max 6s in the
last two seasons combined. Pretty funny
that they’ve both come on the 17th hole at Brooksville Country Club.
As a group we made 15 double pars, which is not a record
but it’s certainly not good.
Consistency award through two events goes to Gorecki
Jr. He’s managed to make double bogey or
worse on 75% of his 36 holes played so far.

Gotta go low to win at the Hills.
ReplyDeleteSo I need a 76 it appears. Hmm....
ReplyDeleteAfter this layoff, I'm going to need my customary 200 ball warm up at the Hills. Mostly so I can relearn how to hit the ball.
