This may not seem that odd an occurrence. However, if you think about it, it does not happen very often. A typical golfer on a bad night might have 1-2 three putts. To have four do it all at the same time was really quite odd. The fact that I was one of the offending foursome takes nothing away from it.
Four of us had birdie putts on seven. Two others from outside of 20 feet. Two of us from maybe 15 feet. And all of us three putted. Of course we all snaked each other which meant nothing once all of us walked away with six snips. Thanks to Ryan, Dan, and Gorrell for being part of my dubious putting foursome.
Other than some poor putting, it was a really good Mens' Night. We had thirty golfers with the two of the lowest scores going to guys who were playing their first rounds of the year. Chris Kimpinski had a 38 and Keith Martin shot a 39. There were lots of new golf shirts, bags, and clubs and quite a few happy faces.
Mike Susinksi had closest to the pin on #5 while Bob Moffatt hit it tight on #9. Bob also cashed in for $67.50 for making a deuce on the same hole.
Skins were won on five of nine holes. Winners included Dan Stokes / Carey Findlay ($20 on #2), Keith Martin / Wes Arnfinson ($20 on #4), Chris Kimpinski / Brett Griffin ($86 on #6), and Brad Benton / Theoren Hunter ($39 on 7 and $20 on 8).
As I write this the outlook for golf today doesn't look ideal. It is wet outside, the sky looks a little foreboding, and the prediction is for rain and thunder showers. Forever the optimist, I need to get going. First stop is Central S for some gas for the cart...and then maybe clean it up a bit so it shines nicely if the sun ever comes out.
Acknowledging that there are way more important things than golf, I wish the best of luck to all of our friends and neighbours involved in the farming industry. May hot and dry weather be in all of your long term futures.
