Saturday
Mad Dog with calculator in hand created seven teams of three playing 2BB on the crowded South course. The Dog could not muster enough ambition to join in but no one is sure why, other than in his last venture he lost $5 to Bear and filled the air with F bombs after missed putts.
Team #1 featured Triple N, Chimney and Bill M. Followed by Team #2 Pudge, Jay S, and Fireman, Team # 3 TJ, Jay Esh and Rama, Team # 4 Bear, Dickie Mac and Andy Mac, Team # 5 Skrocki, 40 and Dr Dave, Team #6 Bow Pete, Tractorman and House, Team #7 Sandy, Joey M and Billy D.
As teams finished the front nine word spread that several teams were at even par until Skrocki's team reported they were -1 which everyone thought was good until Sandy's team finished with -2 to take the front. The back nine proved to be easier somehow as two teams were -2 only to have Skrocki's team go crazy with -4 to sweep back and overall.
There were six skins worth $17 a piece by (Joey M, Pudge, 40, Cheez, Triple N and Billy D).
Low scores were Skrocki 69, Triple N 70, Jay Esh 71, Bow Pete 73, Bear 74 and Pudge 74. A total of 15 players broke 80, which is an unusually high percentage.
Skrocki played Bear in Mad Dog's absence and clipped him good for $8 with his 5 birdie day. Rama got deep in House's pocket when he shot 77. Billy D broke form and shot 77 messing his perfect record of always shooting 82. Dr Dave keeps his winning streak alive as he continues to take home pieces of the pot.
The seats in the shade were most popular on the deck as temps were soaring into the high 90s. All Anheuser products are on the outs at Bretwood so everyone has to scramble to find something new to drink.
Sunday
With a high percentage of Pot Gamers only playing one day on a weekend the number of players on Sunday dropped to 16. Mad Dog before he went on grandfather duty was able to put together four teams of four to play 3BB on the North Course.
Team #1 led by long driving but iron chunking Captain Luke had 40, Chimney and Billy D. Team #2 Captained by Bear fresh off his loss to Skrocki along with Dougie, Cheez and Rama. Team #3 High 70 Shooting Sandy Captained Andy Mac, Birdie and House. Team #4 Captained by Love Number Shooting Skrocki with TJ, Bill M and Fireman. With three teams shooting either +8 or +9 one team rolled along at +2, Team # 2. The back nine Sandy went to the whip and his Team #3 responded with seven birdies and a score of -3. Their score was good for the back but not overall as Bear's team took that by 2 shots.
There were five skins worth $16 a piece (Bear, Rama, Luke, House and Dougie). Low scores of the day were Bear 72, Andy Mac 74, Sandy 78 and Billy D 78. Half the field broke 80 including the Cheez with 79. Rama lost a few bucks to House on the strength of House's birdie, birdie finish. Bear got revenge on Skrocki winning back all his money from Saturday plus a few dollars.
Cheez fragile as an antique vase worrying about the dreaded laterals wasn't helped when Deacon rolled up in his cart on the third tee box and in his booming voice said "Hey Phil, I heard you aren't shanking anymore." Nice guy. Cheez hit draws or baby hooks all the way around instead as he made his goal of breaking 80. The "Sticks" at the Villages may take him back after all.
Commish despite the hot weather was a no show again. Rumor has it the losses to Birdie damaged his psyche to a point where he can't pull the trigger anymore. Either that or he has had to fill in catching for the Swamp Bats.
The Anheuser boycott by The Big House lasted only a few days as the Budlights and Michelob Lights will be flowing next weekend. So Murt's dream of having Miller Lites in the cooler ended before he could buy one.
Next weekend is the Cities which will wipe out most of the players for the Pot Game.
