Our gang had secured the 1st Tee time and jumped off to a fine start with Chuck leading the way with a par all others had bogie. Off to the 2nd where 3 bogies recorded and one triple for the Mann. Third found Chuck long and down the middle followed by another nice approach shot and Chuck had 2 pars in 3 holes. There is a momentary time out on the 4th tee box as all contestants want to check his ID to assure Judi sent the correct competitor to the course this morning.

The 4th found Chuck another par and after 5 he is only 1 over par a feat that has never occurred before. The boys are now very concerned as Lou and JR are playing well but find themselves 3 strokes back. What do we need to do to clip this guys wings is the question of the hour. Well the golf gods provide the answer as a big 12 was recorded to send the name sake back into 3rd position. Greg is questioning why he came out today as he follows all others and is trying to get something going. Lou comes off 6 and makes par on the 7th. There are a few train wrecks on number 8 and Greg gets a birdie on the 9th so as we make the turn Lou Greg and Chuck are all square with JR in the lead by 6.

One would think that was a good thing but just when you think you are in a good position the wheels come off (remember Chucks 6th) well JR has a 9 on 10 and Lou feels it is his moving day as he comes within 2 of JR. They tie on 11 while Greg makes par. Then there was the 12th a hole that has cost many a competitor the match in years past. Today would be no different. As we said Lou was two back and feeling like it was his day. What hole did I say we where on? Yes 12th. That number became the score Lou would register (his version of Tin Cup) to fall way back as Greg birdied the hole to come to within 2 of JR. at 13 Greg would tie JR and move into a 5 stroke lead over Chuck and JR after 16. He continued the strong play through 17 and 18 to shoot a fine 92 and win by 9 over JR. Chuck was 1 back and Lou 3 back of Chuck. Greg's Lunch was provided by Lou. JR treated Chuck after his penalty in the hazard at 17. A note to the world, always know where the hazards are in the course of life.. Nuff said.
