It's Billy D's Fault

Bear received his first ever X and it wasn't even by the little weenie Commish, but from all the Pot Gamers on the deck on Sunday.  Billy D having made a luncheon date with is daughter and son needed to leave the deck early so he handed the pot over to Bear to distribute.  The Pot was short by $40.  Then Bear remembered he forgot to collect from Pete.  But it was still short.  Then he reached in his pocket and found Deacon's money which he had failed to place in the Pot.  Immediately arms were raised in the form of an X and the chant of "Give Him An X" rang out from the deck.  Billy D should have known better than to give the Pot to someone who couldn't handle it.  A very Cheez like moment.

Sunday started out rather cool at only 40 degrees at tee time.  Nine players were broken into 3 teams playing 2BB on the North Course.  Mad Dog made some strong teams and it was too close to call as to who was stronger.  Team #1 was captained by Mad Dog with Joey M as his B and Billy D as his C.  Team #2 was Captained by Tractorman or Tomahawkman with Skrocki as his B and Rama as his C.  Team #3 was Captained by Bear with Bow Pete as B and Mr Money himself Deacon as C.  Bear's team raced out to a big lead with a score of +2 to Mad Dog's +7 and Tractorman's +8.  On the back Tractorman came in with a +6 to edge out Bear's and Mad Dog's team score of +7.  Bear's team did take the overall with a +9.

There were 4 skins worth $11 a piece.  Bear 2, Joey M 1 and Bow Pete 1.  Low scores of the day were Bear 73, Tractorman 79  and Joey M 82.  Everyone else shot in the 80s with two exceptions in the 90s.  Deacon won 2/3 of the Pot keeping his Chimney like streak of cashing intact for another week.

Mad Dog came out of his self imposed retirement from golf to play one last time which meant an automatic match of cards with Bear.  Bear prevailed by $11 (Mad Dog could only produce $8 from his pocket) bringing the YTD total to Mad Dog up $13.  It seems that the "flick at the bottom" technique doesn't work if you lose some peripheral vision.  Who knew.

  1. Should have been the first double XX given out.
