Threesomes Never Win

Saturday:
Mad Dog instead of making two five man teams decided to create uneven teams so the Pot Game would be forced into playing quota.  But on the first tee of North it was announced that regular old two BB would be the format.  Team #1 Bear, Birdie and Bow Pete showed promise on paper but never found the scoring groove and took themselves out of the competition after the front nine.  Team #2 Skrocki, TJ and Bill Mag also never found the way to get the ball into the hole unless it was for bogeys and doubles.  So that left Team #3 lead by co-captains Tractorman and Joey M with Deacon and Loy (2013 debut).  Ding Donging their way to victory with + 4 on the front and a sizzling even on the back to swept all sides.  When threesomes play lousy and foursomes play steady, guess who always win.

There were 5 skins worth $10 a piece (Tractorman 2, Bear 1, Bill Mag 1 and Joey M 1).  Low scores of the day belonged to Tractorman 77, Skrocki 78 and Joey M 80.

Mad Dog claimed that he is playing great after all his practicing yet made up an excuse as to why he couldn't play the Bear.  Something about taking swing set to his grandchildren in VT.

Sunday:
Fourteen players came out expecting possible showers half way through the round but were treated to bright sunny skies all morning.  Mad Dog determined to make the Pot Gamers play quota again created foursomes against threesomes, but two BB format prevailed again.  Team #1 Bear, Billy D and Rama lead the way with fast play but not much else as they couldn't putt the ball anywhere other the edge of the hole.  Team #2 Jay Esch, Andy Mac and Chimney were rolling early until Jay wrenched his back and saw their chances knot up.  So that left Team # 3 Skrocki, Birdie, House and Loy to battle it out with Team # 4 Tractorman, TJ, Blue Tees and Deacon.  Team # 3 was even on the front and +6 on the back which matched Team # 4's +6 on the front and even on the back.  So they split the Pot.

There were only 3 skins worth $23 a piece (Bear 1, Tractorman 1 and Andy Mac 1).  Low scores were Skrocki 77, TJ 79, Bear 80 and Andy Mac 80.

For those keeping track Rama took $2 from House in their dollar-a-hole match.  House was rather quiet on the deck after his outburst two weeks ago.  Everyone did notice he kept looking over at Deacon making sure he wasn't in his "sights".

Mad Dog forgetting he had used the same excuse yesterday as to why he couldn't play the Bear, said he had to deliver a swing set to VT.  Wonder what excuse he will use next weekend?

A surprise appearance (deck only) was made by the Cheez.  He was there to greet all his fellow Pot Gamers.  He even bought a rack for the boys.  He promised to make his debut on Sunday but was a no show.  So it is still even money as to whether Commish or Cheez will be the first to make a Pot Game and we are deep into May.

Pudge snubbed the Pot Game both days to play in fund raiser scramble tournaments.
