On the 13th tee box, I told my group the day "reeked of a Tall Mike victory." Dreary weather, tough course, slogging pace, frustrating conditions — perfect for him to grind bogeys and sneak in birdies, including two on par 3s!
Moosite was the only player net under par yesterday and won easily by 3 shots. That's his 19th Club victory; now he's chasing a 5th league title and potentially a 5th Rapture Captaincy.
Second place went to Dan with a mind-blowing 76 (gross) — a new course record. He birdied 3 of the last 4 to finish even (net), which is usually plenty to win in those conditions.
We knew it'd be soggier than usual after Saturday night's rain. I'm not one to complain about tee boxes (the ball is on a tee, after all), but hitting drivers while standing in mud was next-level frustration.
The greens, though, were the best I've ever seen at HO: receptive, deceivingly fast, and rolled true. We heard about plenty of 3-putts and even a few 4-putts.
It's good to have regularly scheduled golf back.
Great win Mike. Despite me pushing hard the machine was unwavered.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dan, it was fun to watch you play that well and shoot a 76..very impressive!
ReplyDelete‘A Group’ sticking with the whites? Make Ho uncomfortable from the short tees. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to tip it out?
DeleteTroy is on the IR, so Dan just got booted to the B group.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am surprised nobody is moving back (yet). With almost everyone playing WHITE last week... I think we've finally embraced that shorter is more fun!
If you're going off of Course Handicap wouldn't Dan stay in A group and Melber go to B group since Dan is a 5 Course Handicap and Melberg is a 6?
DeleteYes. Not sure how they got swapped in my sort. This is why you're the best Mike.
DeleteWith my long break from playing I forgot how to miss hit my 4 iron. Fairway is your friend. If I cared about what anyone thought in this group I’d play my normal tees. Just trying to stack chandler bucks.
