Pretty boring night on Wednesday – gorgeous weather, 52.8% of guys shot their handicap or better, there ended up being a couple division leader shifts <yawn>, two matches ended in a draw, oh and a freaking HOLE IN ONE aka ACE aka $10 NEARIE! Mr. Jeff Martin knocks one in on the super easy 8th hole – he flew a 5 iron high that flew directly over the flag and sucked back in. Nobody could tell if it went in because of shadows or beer or something…so it was confirmed by walking up to the hole with wide eyes to peek into the depths of the cup. And there was much rejoicing.
Bob Engebretson had an ace in Week 2 (our first week of play), so he’ll have to split the hole-in-one pot with Jeff…plenty of time left for someone else to get a piece of the pie! Congrats, Jeff! Also, his teammate Steve Broyer rolled one up to 10” after the ace…no big deal.
Ok, to the action on the course. This week was a Division battle – and it was a doozy of a week. Here are the highlights:
- Mid-Round Crisis defeats I Like Big Putts 47.5-32.5 to take the BCC North lead by 1 – this battle isn’t over.
- Par then Bar loses to Putt 4 Dough 40-35.5 in a heartbreaker, team captain Alec Johnson barely misses his tee time, which could have flipped the script.
- Pin Seekers eeks one out over Team Hack Attack 41.5-38.5, but because that division is so tight Team Hack Attack actually pulls ahead of Par then Bar by 2 points in the GVC West. Pin Seekers creep with 8.5 points of the leader with their win. This division has been tight all year.
- We had two ties this week: WTF v Who’s Your Caddy and CTB v Bald Man Brewing Co.
- Zed Heads win big over Range Balls 45-35 to gain on WTF, only 17.5 points back..
- Last Call scores well defeating Fairway 2 Heaven 44.5-35.5
Scorecard of Shame – None. I’m speechless for once.
