John became the first player this season to notch multiple victories. While I wouldn't say he had a stellar round (score-wise), shooting under par (net) on those greens should be applauded. We've played that layout three times in Club history, with John finishing T12, 14 (DFL) and now 1st.
Troy finished one stroke out of first, doing what basically everyone who made picks (shame on you who didn't) didn't think was possible — back-to-back low rounds. Sadly, his next handicap adjustment might haunt him the rest of the season. Regardless, Troy is on fire right now.
If you ever needed a reminder how important Match Play is, look no further than Adam beating Ho. Both played like garbage and finished in the bottom two spots. But Adam beat the guy he was paired with and earned 100 valuable Drunken Pirate Tour points... more than seven players who finished above him on the leader board. In future years where we don't have multiple people failing to hit the playing requirement for the Rapture, this might matter.
John might be a lock for Rapture Captain this year. Brendan needs one more round to get on the rankings, and Buchert needs two.
-------------------
Gary said he feels like he's always playing Reid in Match Play (non-Rapture).
Doing a quick check, they've only played each other twice. Buchert/Brendan have squared off a record 4 times, however. And only four pairings have happened 3 times: Chandler/Darren, Chandler/JW, Darren/Moostie, Faz/Geoff.
-------------------
Ho and JW lost the aforementioned picks contest, owing a pitcher to the five non-losers. Ho did buy his 2 pitchers for the day (via Buchert).
If anyone else owes something let me know. Unfortunately, Gorecki can't repay groups C and D the lost time from watching him stand over shots for 2+ minutes... before deciding to pull the trigger or switch clubs (again).

We're off this upcoming weekend. Then it's on the the Bayou Club for the 2nd Major. We need to get as close to 20 people as possible, so update your RSVP now. I'm going to replace you "maybe" people the first change I get.
From now on I’m just picking what someone else picks so I’m not in last place alone.
