That was an odd one

The picture above is from a classic episode of Seinfeld called "Bizarro Jerry", The plot references a comic book character named Bizarro who is the polar opposite of Superman. In the Seinfeld version, the gang meets a group of people who are their exact opposites.

It was sort of an odd Mens' Night this week. I am not sure if it was a Bizarro Mens' Night but it seemed a little off.

The weather was reasonable but only 11 golfers showed up. It was even too damp likely to farm but none of those guys played.

One team comprised of Scott Maynes and Blake Hunter won three skins. This doesn't usually happen, even on nights with low attendance. The Maynes and Hunter train was on a roll winning $20 on three separate holes, #1, 2, and 5. They were also the closest to the holes on the par 3's with Blake hitting it tight on #5 and Scott being closest on #9.

There were two deuces, but by the same person. This rarely occurs. Good job Scott Maynes.

Jason Hunter didn't play. He usually is a die hard. I have to assume that he was kidnapped or was on jury duty.

Brad Benton was in the high pot, which almost is never the case. He still won a skin on #3 with Robin Kimpinski for $20.

I had the good fortune of pairing with the dummy card which had never happened to me before. In the end I won two skins on my own, including $77 on #6 and $20 on #8.  A high single winner is rare. Not everyone who pairs with the deuce pot gets lucky. Even odder was the fact that I was the middle score on the evening. The dummy card that I ended up with was a reproduction of my own card.

The $97 combined was the highest individual one-week total of the year, edging out the $95.25 won by Blake Hunter back on June 15th.

These wins put my season money total to $253.50 moving me ahead of Blake  who sits in second at $244.13. Blake had an amazing run of 14 weeks in first place.

Ronin Kimpisnksi also moved to $219 in winnings for the year. This is the first time that I recall we had three people over $200 for the season.

Too bad one of the odd events wasn't a hole in one. Our last one was recorded by Dale Watson on July 25th, 2012. That was 1522 days ago. Currently we have two separate pots capped at $1500 and a third currently at $331. That's over $3300 awaiting a couple of lucky shots. Maybe it will happen on Wednesday.

The Club House closes after this Sunday but we have still lined up staff for one final Mens' Night on Wednesday. After that we will shut it down for another season and start counting the days to next year.
