Greatest skin ever!

Let's cut to the chase.  After almost two months without a winner, the skin on the ninth hole finally went.  The combined score of 5 by Keith Booth and Charlie McNabb was good enough to capture the elusive prize which grew to a nice $210.50.  The Booth / McNabb connection also grabbed the skin for #3, adding another $43 to their winnings.  With his two on #9, Mr. Booth also split a deuce pot worth $64.50 with Robin Kimpinski, who scored his two on the fifth hole.

Other skins for the evening went to Ron Susinski and Lawrence Daniel ($21.50 on #1 and $21.50 on #7), Cody Cornwall and Randy Tully ($43 on #2), Robin and Keith Martin ($21.50 on #5), and Scott Maynes and Milt ($43 on #8).  Closest to the pin winners were Joel Ostash on #5 and Mike McLennan on #9.

For the second consecutive week, we had the unusual combination of great conditions and high scores.  The sound of golf balls hitting trees echoed from all directions...with Milt contributing greatly to this symphony of thermoplastic on wood.  He hit so many trees that Charlie McNabb's group playing behind was held up on almost every hole.  Charlie took it well however...his frustration likely tempered by the $125 in winnings in his pocket.

The Ringer Board also wrapped up this week.  Robin Kimpinski won the first flight with a -9, followed by Scott Maynes' -6 and Brad Benton's -5.  I placed first in the second flight, followed by Keith Martin in second place.  Scores for the second flight were unavailable at press time.
Mens' Nite will continue through August and perhaps into September depending on the availability of our friends in the agricultural business. Thanks in advance to the previously mentioned Brad Benton, who has agreed to run the show next week. Don't forget the 6:30 pm start time for the rest of the year.

I have reflected a lot recently about how certain people (such as Milt) are mentioned more often than others in the blog.  The simply fact is that the people I note are often those with whom I golf...and Milt is a regular partner.  Other than Mike Susinski suggesting things to write about Wes, I rarely get any other field reports.  Given that I will be away the next two weeks, make sure to give your blog ideas to Mr. Benton.

I suggested that we move to Thursday nights in 2012...mainly for personal reasons given my frequent conflicts on Wednesdays.  I would like to stay involved in running Mens' Nite and writing the blog...but it will be tough if I miss eight Wednesdays as I did this year.  Give it some thought and we can discuss it further before the end of the year.
