After our good fortune with the weather on previous mens' nights, our luck ran out last night. Play was delayed for about 20 minutes when the sky broke open and brought some very heavy rain. Everyone on the course found some refuge under trees, umbrellas and duct-taped garbage bags. Those of use hiding within earshot of the 7th green were comforted by the sound of music from Brad's golf cart and the peaceful echoes of Benton and Robin berating Milt about being slow and for his whiff on #5. When play resumed, Milt got the last laugh when he scored a deuce on #9. With no other two's, he walked away with $84 and jumped into second place on the season money list.
Other prize winners included the father / son combination of Ron and Mike Susinski who picked up #20 for #1, Scott Maynes and Doug Koroscil who cashed in for $20 on #6, Dave Gill and Beaker taking home a $28 skin on #7. Cubby was closest on both par threes winning a free steak dinner from Susinski Farms and Kimp Services as well as a shaving kit from Shoal Lake Pharmacy.
Minus the rain storm, it was actually a nice evening for golf. The only other concerns were the hordes of mosquitoes around the course and the soggy fairways that added shots to almost everyone's scorecard. Ron Susinski was victimized by the tough conditions with a nine on #4 as was Jason Gorrell who had a ten on the same hole. We hit our season high for participants with 31 golfers, many of whom comforted a friend struggling with weight loss issues. No matter what Diane says we don't think you're fat!
What else...? Keith Martin said that Sport's incessant coughing caused him swing troubles and these swing troubles caused him to have a rougher round than last week. Remember, it isn't the golf that matters...it is the quality time with friends who call you by your wife's name when you are short on a putt or who run to tell everyone when you shoot a 50.
Welcome to Austin Hunter who joined his dad for Mens' Night. Come back next week with some friends and let them know the hole-in-one pot is close to $1500. We are very accepting of newcomers as long as you bring your eight bucks and remember...whatever happens at mens' night, stays at mens' night. Unless of course it involves Milt or Benton.
Don't forget to check the updated prize list as well as the ringer board, which is now sorted by total score relative to par. Also, feel free to add a comment if there was anything worth noting last night that was missed.
