Had a good turnout for two tee times on Saturday, Nov. 1, with lots of highlights. Sun was shining and some of us were even playing golf. For starters, let's note that Group 1 (Bob F., Chris P., Dan P., Doc H., and Don G.) all scored 43 gross on the back 9. Even they admit it's some kind of coincidence. Now, did they all play the day's LOTTO with a "43" and variations (1, 7, 34, 12)?
Let's also note that the previous week's "Tiger Woods" moment achieved by Art G. on Hole 18 was more than surpassed by Dan G. this week on the same hole. Chipping from at least 50 yards from the woods left of the hole, and not all that far from the No. 10 tee box, he hit his ball down the hill, bounced it off the cart path, across a bit of rough and onto the green, where it rolled in a left-to-right arc into the hole in the upper right side of the green -- for an EAGLE! What a letdown for Tim C, who was working a press against Dan, when he chipped in from off the same green for a mere birdie. Dan did have a great day overall, as you might imagine, with a gross 73 (2 over par).
Art G., from Group 2, was the low-net shooter for the day with a 60. He grossed at 79 and his 19 handicap is now under serious review. Congratulations, Art. Conditions were right for the majority of golfers present as 6 of the 10 netted below par with the remaining 4 netting at par for the day.
To top things off, as the round finished, we gathered in the picnic area near the 9th hole. Ruben O., unable to play that day, hosted an unexpected and much enjoyed BBQ. The perfect host, he also provided beverages and golf-appropriate tunes through the Jeep's sound system.
