Recap of the Judge Smails Cup Finals

The finals had Peters and the free swinging Bamford against TJ and myself. The first hole had Bamford put his drive it into the driving range twice which left this recurring theme of Peters to try and fend myself and TJ off. I sunk a long par putt on 1 as I had done in the previous 3 matches to put us up 1. TJ made a putt on 3 to go 2 up. Bamford was getting 4 shots and blasted a drive on 5, but his next shot was the dreaded shank and put him out of the hole and leave Peters to make a 5 to stay 2 down. The 6th, I drove the ball just over the green in the rough and Peters was safely on, but with a long putt. I chipped up close and made the putt and Peters could not 2 putt and suddenly they were 3 down. Bamford on 7 after a wild 2nd shot chipped to a 4 footer and made the putt finally helping his partner out with a 4 net 3. I birdied the 9th to make it 3 up going into the back 9. This is the first 18 hole match in Judge Smails Cup history, so Peters and Bamford still have a chance to come back. TJ and myself quickly start the back with par, par, par to go 5 up and this locomotive is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The match was dormie with 4 holes left when, Sweet mother of Pearl Bamford strikes again with an approach shot on 15 that left him with a tap in par, still these two need a miracle to happen and their dreams of getting the Judge Smails Cup ended on 16 when Bamford was between a rock and a hard place and Peters needing to chip in for birdie, while TJ and myself were safely on and putting for birdie, it didn't happen and the coveted cup belongs to TJ and Bino who dinged and donged through each of the matches to become Champions of the 2009 Judge Smails Cup.

Elsewhere in the league for the second time this year Stefanick takes home all the birdie money with a birdie on 8 and takes over the top spot on money leader board. He loves this league. McNeice wishes the league was the back 9 as he follows last weeks 35 with a blazing 36.
The league now hits the home stretch with the year end just over the horizon. Details on that will be posted in the coming weeks.
