Last Hurrah

Last Saturday was the last day of play for Bretwood for 2013.  Bright sunny skies were deceptive because the 20 mph gusting wind made the wind chill about 6 degrees.  But despite the freezing weather 10 Pot Gamers showed to play one last round together.

Chuckster under the influence of a crispy fresh $20 from Pudge, created two teams of five to do battle.

Team #1 Pudge, Jay Esch, Otis, Fireman and Commish (dream team) teed off first on the North Course with the wind hollowing from the North.  Despite several of the players bundled up with multiple layers they shot a unbelievable +10 (4 BB) on the front.

Team #2 Bear, Sandy, Dougie, Billy D and House got off to a very slow start and never recovered with a +21 on the front to lose by 11.

The back nine started out promising for Team #1 who was in cruise control but they couldn't duplicate the birdie barrage of the front side and ended up stumbling in with a +15.  They still thought it was good enough based on the pummeling they had give team #2 on the front.  But fear the team that stinks it up on the front, they usually roar back to life.  Team #2 demoralized and able to muster only one birdie put together a +1 over the last four holes to nip Team #1 by one with +14.

So each team won a side and Team #1 won the overall.  There were 5 skins worth $10 a piece (Pudge 2, Commish 2 and Otis 1)

Low scores of the day Otis 76, Bear 77, Pudge 77 and Sandy 79.  Pudge and Bear resumed their "dollar a hole" match and Pudge on the strength of his four birdie day got into Bear's pocket for $4.  Which should have been more because Bear had no birdies but did have a few more pars than Pudge.

A few libations were shared in the parking lot after which took the chill off momentarily.  It was a great end to all too short of a golf season.

Pudge announced that 9 at 9 is officially canceled for this year based on course conditions and weather (temps in low 20s).
Cheez is back in town and was planning to play and see everyone but instead sends his Thanks for all the emails and texts wishing him a full recovery.

Next Pot Game event is Dec 11th at 6pm at the Bowling Alley for the Annual Chili Party hosted by the Deacon and His #1 Girl Barbara.  Heaven help you if you blow it off...he takes notice of who shows and who doesn't.

Happy Thanksgiving
