If not for Opening Day, there would have been no Pot Gamers playing, but it was so 10 crazies came out in 28 degree weather which felt like 18 degrees with the howling wind.  They all froze and their scores reflected it.  There were two teams of 5 playing three Best Balls.

Bear's team included Forty, Joey M, Billy D and Chimney.  Captain Skrocki had Dougie, Tractorman, Birdie and Fireman.

Both teams tied the front with +9, Then Skrocki's team shot another +9, while Bear's team soared to a +17 on the back.  There were 9 skins by 8 players worth $5 a piece (Forty 2, Bear, Billy D, Skrocki, Fireman,  Joey M, Tractorman and Dougie.

Low scores of the day Dougie 79, Tractorman 80, Forty 84.  Everyone broke 100 but a few came close with scores well into the 90s.

Sunday

With the temperature a balmy 35 degrees,  under sunny skies, 12 Pot Gamers in three teams of 4 (Mad Dog took minutes to figure our how many teams) played 2 Best Balls. 

About half way through the front nine a front came through which had rain, sleet and snow and lots of wind.  It was as bad as Saturday's weather.

First to tee off was Captain Tractorman's team of Forty, Fireman and Deacon (great to see out playing).  Next came Captain Brad-Brian's team of TJ, Billy D and Blue Tees.  Last but not least was Bear's team of Little Bow Pete, Birdie and House (who begged to play when B Boys never showed).

Lead by the nervous House and the Lee Trevino (low Ball Hitter) of the Pot Game Birdie, Bear's team shot +2 on the front to take a 4 shot lead for overall over Brad-Brian's team (+6).  But Brad-Brian's team roared back on to take the back with +3 to Bear's team +6, which meant Bear's team took 2 sides and Brad-Brian's team 1.  If you notice Tractorman's team was never mentioned..therefore they a $20 beer for their trouble.

There were 5 skins by 2 Pot Gamers Brad-Brian 3, House 2.  They were worth $12 a piece.  When the Commish reads this it will be House's first and last Pot Game of the Year..

Low scores were Brad-Brian 77, Birdie 82, Billy D 82 and (White Tee Slut) House 82.
