The day was March 26^th time 7:50 as the 4 hearty lads met at Sweetwater Country Club the temperature was in the low 40’s but off they went. First hole was won by Lou with a bogie and then we moved to what has to be considered the 2^nd hardest hole on the course. Where Jim’s bogie provide him with a one stroke lead which he extended on number 3. Greg recorded the first par on # 4 and tied Jim with a bogie on # 5. Lou was hanging around looking to make a move while Charlie was enjoying a senior moment.

Jim recovered his two shot lead by the 7^th only to make the turn even with Greg after a great par was had by the Mann on the 9^th. Off to the tenth where Greg made birdie and Jim had to sink a 15 footer to limit the damage to one stroke. Chuck rolled a great put on #11 to record the only bogie of the day at that hole. Then Jim went on a par spree that allowed him to take a one stroke lead going to the 14^th tee. There the boys sprayed the ball all around yet our three contestants all scored bogie. Lou’s snowman was great with all the potential issues he faced coming down that fairway. The 15^th 3 par had a hole position that can only be described as unfair. Yet Greg did record a bogie while all others had 5’s.

So here we go again. Another nail biter as the boys teed it up on 16. Jim and Greg tied both hit good drives and then both popped their second shots to near the 150 marker. That is when the earth shook and The Gods stopped smiling on Mr. Mann. All that can go wrong within 150 yards of the green did so today for Greg. First he attempted to go over the tree that sits about 90 yards from the hole. That ball dropped straight down. Then he hit the last branch on the same tree and that dropped him in the bunker where he double hit the bunker shot and left a short chip on to the green. Oh this fickle game. Let the record show Jim 6 Greg 9 a three shot lead going to the 17^th. There another stroke was recorded by Jim as he went on to win the 10^th match. That means Jim 5, Greg 4 Chuck 1 and Jim has a 1 stroke advantage in a tie breaker.
