How Cold Was It Really?

Tropical Billy and Nanook Of The North By Pudge Pics

As nine Pot Gamers gathered on Wednesday morning, it was hard to tell by the dress of a few if it was cold or not.  We had Commish dressed as Nanook Of The North and Billy D like it was mid-summer.  It was 42 degrees at tee off but with forecast to warm up into the 60s. 

Three teams were picked on the first tee of the North Course.  Team #1 Captain Pudge, Billy D and Commish.  Team #2 Captain Bear, Skrocki and Skooger.  Team #3 Captain Sandy, Mad Dog (he declared himself a 8 handicap B man) and Birdie (The Great White Hunter).  Team #3 looked very strong and their play on the front proved they were as they bested the field by 4 shots in 2BB with a score of +1.  However on the back Bear's team found their game and shot +1 which beat Pudge's team by one and Sandy's team by 4.  Which meant Team #2 and #3 split the pot with 1.5 sides each.

The low scores of the day were Sandy 74, Bear 76 and Pudge 78.  Everyone else was in the 80s.  Bear prevailed against Mad Dog in their auto dog match for $7 which means the YTD total is down to $6 in Mad Dog's favor.

Nanook did warm up enough to peal off a layer of clothing which he left on one of the tee-boxes for Mad Dog to throw in his cart so he didn't have to carry it around.  Skooger made a birdie for the first time in about 20 rounds but still barely broke 90.  Billy D is back to drawing the ball after a in-round lesson by Pudge.  The Great White Hunter was still riding high after his take down of Bullwinkle on Monday.  Captain America announced to all groups from his tractor with flags flying that he has made up his mind to vote Obama because he likes his motto of "Forward".  Huh...
