Recap Week 9

    A good night at Easton and we had the best attendance of the year. Hard to believe that next week will be the last night of the first half. Payment of $305 will be due on the 11th night, which is 7/10.

 

       John Tracy made what he thought was the shot of the day, just missing a hole-in-one on the closest-to-the-pin 6th hole, and leaving it  20 inches from the  cup. But little did he know that when he got to the green, Paul Raynard was already on the board with 10 inches, having also just missed an ace. Sometimes 20 feet wins and sometimes 20 inches, I guess, isn't good enough.

 

     The Willard cartel continues its winning ways with brother Blake getting on the money board with a bird on 1 and Dad coming through with team (along with Jim Egan) and individual honors.

 

     Other birds that lived were Karas on 4......Peters on 5....and Aronson on 9  Birdies on 2,6,8 ..... were covered.

 

     Scorekeeping 102: Last call for circling birdies. Starting next week, if you don't circle your birdie, it will not be counted. By not circling a birdie, but still expecting payment, you are expecting us to review every hole of every card to try to pick out hidden birdies. This is not Where's Waldo.

 

     And just a week after dodging the surgeon's knife, who to our wondering eyes did appear but Bino, ready for golf and an ice-cold beer. So without further adieu, HEEEEERE'S JOHNNY !!!! :

I get to the first tee and there were tears of joy coming from the sky or was it rain. I was feeling good and decided to try it out and happy to say all went well. I looked around the course and saw people doing double takes....is that who I think it is. I had no expectations and just swung easy...who new that's what it takes to play good...shooting a surprising 86.

TJ gets the round of the day shooting a 3 over 74....playing every day sure does help your game....living just in back of the 18th hole....he rolls out of bed and onto the course.

The 19th hole was the same except for our friendly neighborhood bartender Obo was not in his usual spot.... replaced by just another pretty face. It ain't gonna be the same....you could always count on an outburst or two with a bag of peanuts flying at your head at any given moment.
