Out Of Balance

Mad Dog clears his schedule for Wednesdays when he knows the low handicappers all show up.  So when he added up the list and found 13 players including himself, he knew he would be chainsawing instead of taking Bear's money.  But before he left in his unhappy state he decided to bless one team with three Captains and leave the other two teams wanting.

Team #1 Triple N, Walt, Skrocki and Rod was harassed from the first tee by the other two teams for being ridiculously strong.  By the look on their faces they knew they had it in the bag courtesy of  Mad Dog's team creations.  Just to make sure they lived up to their billing, Skrocki knocked in three birdies to have them shoot +1 and win the front.

Team #2 Pudge, Otis, Billy D and House knew they had to battle hard to beat the dream team and they tried but the best they could muster was +5 (3BB with all birdies).

Team #3 Bear, Sandy, Fireman and Skooger drifted all the way up to +5 after the 7th hole but rolled in three birdies on the 8th to climb back in it only to watch it melt away with two bogeys on the 9th to finish +4.

Team #1 ran away with the back as they posted an even par 3BB and +1 total.  Team #2 succumbed to the reality of the situation and despite Otis having three birdies  they shot +8.

Team #3 put up six birdies but couldn't overcome their slow start on the 10th hole where they lost four shots and ended up with +2.

There were 5 skins worth $12 a piece. (Otis 1, Triple N 1, Walt 1, Skrocki 1 and Fireman 1).

Low scores of the day were Bear 72, Otis 74, Skrocki 74, Pudge 75, Triple N 76, Walt 78 and Sandy 78.

The Mad Dog created Dream Team had all three "Captains" between 74-78.  The other teams could only get two players in the 70s so "fair and balanced" was not the theme of the day.

The loser teams at least got a free $20 drink. 

There was a total of 23 birdies made.  Skrocki lead the way with 5 of his own.  Team #3 loved the par 3s as they had three birdies on the 8th hole and two on both the 13th and 16th holes.

Bear was able to pry $6 from Pudge on the strength of 3 more birdies in their continuing match.
