Papa Hicks is all excited (nooo not like THAT !!). His first golfing trip to Ile Bizzard!. He's so excited.. he forgets he's collecting LT and gets on his way!. Gazebo is determined... he's been at the golf course since 6am to get some early practice in on the range. Dagenator spots confirmation of his early rise, as water from the course has already started wicking its way up his trousers/pants/whateva!!.(its reached his knees). The 6 six TGA Tour vets, namely ..Dagenator, Gazebo, Papa Hicks, Crack, Robin (now named 'VFM' until someone comes up with something better.. Value For Money.. he has the lowest cost-per shot of 'the Tour' so far ;-)), err.. where was I .. oh yes.. and LT, are joined by Graeme, organiser of the "Duff Brewery Invitational 2009" . he's making a guest appearance on the Tour to ensure the Duff entrants (LT, Gazebo and Dag) are not sandbagging their way to Duff glory at the end of the month. The 7 is also joined by a walk on player, Corey, who spends the next 18 holes wondering WTF is this group of crazies doing playing golf.???
Ank introduces LT to the Canadian way of picking the teams, namely collecting all the putters from everyone, throwing them onto the wet grass... chipping paint from the quality putters themselves and then throwing them randomly around the grass area. Errr. Thanks for the quick hockey lesson Ank... is it ok if I give you a quick slap for f&*king up my putting mojo?? ;-)
putting competition .. nearest pin on the par 3s.. and a team whack n hack game...
Highlights ....
Crack... Gotta be the par 3 8th.. tee shot... splash... re-tee shot... splash... drop zone shot... splash... drop zone next shot... PIIING.. hits the top of the concrete surrounding the green and bounces through the green to the back min..fringe. Took a 10. tried to convince LT that his second tee shot was for fun.. and he was carding an 8... and not a 10.... yeah right!!. Took solace from LTs previous experience of the same hole.. a 13 !.
LT.... Not a good round today.. carding a 1...0.. 7 (sigh...).. Highlighted by a countless number of shanked wedges.. and when a lob wedge flubbed on 16.. lost his cool, and launched the lob wedge into the blue yonder.. only to have it get caught up in a connifer/cedar tree.. approx 18 feet in the air... Scaled the tree with the dexterity of a small ape and retrieved it before anyone could get their cam ready on the cellphone.. later voted and seconded at the 19th hole, LT is now to be known as.. wait for it.. Lemur (he'd never heard of the word 'til then)
VFM.. 7th hole tee shot.. send his tee shot fading right.. a quick lesson from LT.. sorry.. Lemur.. and then sends his tee shot fading right.. that lesson cost him 3 bucks.. Thanks a bunch!!.. Later made par on a hole on the back nine.. proving that his VFM scoring goes down occasionally. 36.29 cents is his overall VFM score this week. Should suggest to OOB to add it as a stat!.
More comments to follow from the Dagenator for highlights from the 2nd fourball.
2nd fourball wins all the par 3 competitions... the overall match.. and Gazebo wins cash for the putting competition. Dag spends 45 minuties putting Lemurs scorecard back together on the promise of entering the scores after it was accidentally torn .. into 30 pieces.. WTF was the first team doing?. ("not much" according to Lemur and Crack)
