On Tuesday I suggested that we should aim for 50 golfers for yesterday's Mens' Night. We got fairly close, with 44 guys showing up on a perfect evening for golf. Neither the relentless black flies nor the thunder in the west could take away from what was an all around enjoyable night. Yes...it was a fun time, in spite of the 24 golfers who refused to turn in their scorecards in a timely fashion...and the two senile elderly gentlemen who forgot to sign up.
Skins went on four holes. Winners included Dick Edgeworth / Darcy Stewart ($22 on #1), Robin Kimpinski / Matt Yanick ($22 on #2), Jason Hunter / Brodie MacEachern ($22 on #3), and Ron Susinski / Les Grills ($22 on #7). Next week there will be four prizes over $100, including skins on #4, 6, and 9. The deuce pot was not won last night, so it will also be sizable given a multiple week carry-over. Closest to the pins were Chris Kimpinski on #5 and Phil Ostash on #9. Sub 40 rounds were carded by Jason Hunter (38), Brad Benton (38), and Mike Susinski (39).
The greens were fast yesterday, given that Joel cut them short. Also, he still has not put any water on them. I am thinking he gets a commission on his salary if he saves a certain number of gallons over the summer. Of course, payback can be a funny thing. A few of Joel's closest pals were quick to share the fact that Mr. Ostash had a four-putt as the result of his own golf course maintenance. Joel, the course is in great shape given the year we have had so far...and you and your crew are very deserving of the credit for this. You just might want to be careful about how you prep the greens and where you place the pins, especially if you are playing later the same day.
Despite cashing in on a regular basis, Clayton Bomak still found time to complain about me mispelling his name in an earlier post. It's funny...I recall Milt and Neuf both whining about one of my blogs last year. That resulted in both gentlemen being featured regularly in the weekly posts. Perhaps Clayton will get similar star treatment in the future. After threatening me against future typos, Clayton did mention that even though he did not win any skins this week, he did clean up on the snips with his group. To be fair, Austin Hunter did really well with the same guys a few weeks ago. It's not like Clayton played in a power-house group with the likes of Ronnie Susinski, Chris Kimpinski, and Milt, as some of us did.
Have a good Thursday...and I will see most of you at the fundraising tournament tomorrow. I apologize to those of you who are looking for the updated ringer boards, money list, and skins for next week. They will have to wait until later today. I am finally on vacation and the sun is shining...so I am heading to the golf course.
