John has been on tilt for a few months now, after completely losing his swing and playing some really shit golf. On Friday he literally wanted to play the Red tees with Katie, because he had no confidence with any club off the tee. Two days later, he wins the first Major of the season with a really solid 86 (gross). Golf is a fickle game.
Darren did his best to hang on, but ultimately came up one stroke short. Reid ejected on the par-3 17th, failing to remember the #1 Rule of Bogey Golfers. Both tied for 2nd.
Gary's 3 double bogeys dropped him to 4th, Greg had his best finish in his rookie season, and Geoff imploded on the final hole because he hates points and money.
On the other side of the spectrum, MikeHo owes a pitcher and Katie recorded the season's first "Gorecki."

We're off this week to avoid playing 5 in a row. The Hangover is our next event, with the bar probably in the Carrollwood area. More on that next week. Update your availability if anything changes.
I failed to follow that rule as well starting on the 9th hole and then the entire back 9. Apparently I need to putt it!
ReplyDeleteDanny and I probably set a record for the number of duffs from 30ft to the green and in.
I also saw Darren damn near set a record for chunked irons in the fairway - it's amazing he still snagged 2nd place!
Good win John!
ReplyDeleteReid may have totally f’d up the 17th hole to blow the win but he did set a personal record for low gross score in relation to par with +9. His previous best was +11 at Buffy Creek in the Summer ‘16 season. To say Southern Hills is tougher than Buffy Creek would be an understatement to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI told Reid on the 14th green he was going to win the tournament, and had his handicap been 1 stroke higher he would have tied. He was on fire. It was fun to watch, but also frustrating because I was ice cold. Mike was cooler than ice cold, and Andre 3000 can't even comprehend cooler than ice cold.
ReplyDeleteYeah... we definitely didn’t inspire him with our shot making ability
