Frozen Out

Wednesday was the coldest start yet in a Pot Game.  Frost was the dominate theme as 8 players had to wait until almost 9am to tee off on the North Course.  Chuckster created two teams which looked very fair on paper.  As they assembled on the first tee Bear's team was all there so they tee off first which made Triple N wait to go second which usually throws him off his game because he can't race ahead.  But more than going second Bear's team thought Molasses Boy being in his group would be his "kryptonite" because he can't stand to play slow.

Team #1 Bear, Otis, Billy D and Fireman started great on the first hole but lost 4 on the 2nd hole and had to use a lot of double bogeys in their 3BB score along the way so they end up +11.

Team #2 Triple N, Skrocki, Molasses Boy and Skooger played strong through the first five holes on the strength of Skrocki's two birdies but slipped a little coming in to end up with +9, but a two stroke victory.

On back nine with Team #2 fading out of sight two holes behind, Team #1 played steady through 14 and then brought their score down to +4 which they thought was a winner after three birdies on the last three holes.  However Team #2 settled into the snail pace set by Molasses Boy and continued to play better golf on the back as well.  Skrocki rolled in two more birdies and Triple N threw in another on the 17th and they finished at +3 to sweep all sides and freeze out Team #1.

Low scores of the day Bear 72, Skrocki 75, Otis 76 and Triple N 77.  Everyone else slipped to high 80s or low 90s.

There were 5 skins worth $8 a piece (Skrocki 3, Fireman and Otis)
