Three in the Tree

Normally I don't write anything about what happened before Mens' Night on the blog. Occasionally, if someone has a practice round of 36 and follows it by a 48 I mention it. Or if a 48 is followed by an official 36 I say something. But usually I keep the golf references to what occurs between 6:00 and 9:00 pm.

However, sometimes very unique happens. This Wednesday, for example, while enjoying some warm-up holes, Dan Stokes hit a great drive on #8 to the 100 yard mark. Then he hit his wedge over the green to the trees behind the green. And the ball did not come down. Below is a picture of Dan pointing to his ball. Remarkably, he hit his third shot from where it was lying and then got up and down for bogey.

For the actual Mens' Night round, the highlight was Leslie Blackbird's score of 33. He paired with Neuf to win skins on three holes ($20 on #2, $20 on #6, and $44 on #7).

The only other skin of the evening went to Jason Gorrell and Dick Edgeworth who won $22 on #9.

Closest to the pins were Scott Martin on #5 and Jason Gorrell on #9. Gorrell converted his putt to share the $30 deuce pot with Robin Kimpinski.

Gorrell's combined winnings put him at exactly $300 for the season, the first time anyone has reached that plateau.

With the fall farming season starting up, there were only 20 golfers. Many more turned out for the season-ending Nine and Dine on Friday.

Remember we have switched to a 6:00 pm tee off time for the remainder of the season. Hopefully we will see you on Wednesday for our 19th Mens' Night of the season.
