The only thing more oppressive than the heat today, was the course conditions. Really sad to see a decent course completely lose everything over a two week span. Florida is one of the more difficult places to grow grass. And 14+ straight days of rain can be catastrophic when coupled with bad agronomy decisions. But Tarpon Woods is going to need at least a year to recover from what I saw today.
I'm also going to need a year to recover from how I played golf.
Gorecki, on the other hand, appears to be improving again. And 30 strokes will get you some top finishes if you're trending up. I'm not sure if he's ever led in the standings, but we're officially at DEFCON 3. He's paired with me at the Ritz so the gimmies will be normal, as MikeHo can attest. I can't promise anything about the pace of play (Darryl will probably slow us to Jerky Speed), but at least we'll know after next Sunday if Gorecki is for real, and ready to win his first ever league championship.
Tall Mike played well all day until a couple of hiccups on the back nine. Reid couldn't put the driver down and finished +10 on the final four holes for 3rd. Robbie was also solid until the end to tie Reid.
---------------------
For the skins, we we're divided up into two groups based on handicap. You can see those results on the tournament scorecard. Don't know where that is? You got some learning to do!
Nothing crazy to report, but MikeHo did win a skin in Tier A on the final hole with a bogey. We are terrible.
Just about everyone has been paid out already through PayPal or Venmo.

Rapture rankings LOCK after the Ritz. Ben might be OUT, which is going to complicate things, and might force us to bring 12 people. Not the end of the world, but the "bubble" guys are JW, Brendan, Geoff and Danny. Would hate to lose any of them, assuming they're all still going.
Did you put the Rapture days on your calendar? Have you requested off work on Friday, August 17th? Did you tell your WAG? If not, you're already behind and might miss out.
People need to man up and start clearing their calendars for the rapture. I'm not looking forward to playing with 12..16 is much more fun. Get your shit in order and make it happen. No excuses!
ReplyDelete12 will be fine. We used to do 12. But when we picked a date months ago, only Robbie was out. So not much more we can do administratively. People are busy. But those going will have a blast like always.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows I'd rather be there than Portland.
ReplyDeleteDo we know that? You’re still going to Portland. #keepthepower
