Errol Estates Country Club - Highland and Grove both from the whites @ 7:55Am

Tardy by 7 minutes our gang tee it up on a new course (the Highland) and the track seems to work well with all of our games today as all contestants broke 50. Two holes saw all four of our competitors score par so let us acknowledge the fact that these boys are getting better.

The play was tight thru the fist 5 holes until Lou had to endure an ant bite that caused swelling in his ankle much has been made of JR’s free drop from an ant hill back in match 13 but that is why the USGA made the rule to protect the athlete but it does require the ball striker to ask for relief. Its almost like riding your Hog with out a Helmet. Well that explains that.

So on with the match as JR stepped out to a two stroke lead Greg attempted to real him in on the next but JR expanded the lead at the turn to 4 strokes. On to a more familiar venue The Grove where

Lou and JR pared the first hole, pars where had by Lou and Greg on the third and a battle was beginning. On we went as Lou was playing a strong back nine in hopes of his first win if he could just overtake JR. CW started the back off with some big numbers but then settled in playing bogie golf and found him self just one behind Greg after 7. JR 4 putted that green to provide Lou with a light at the end of the tunnel (yeh yeh I use this analogy to often but it is so appropriate when describing a Train Wreck) yet the next hole would find Lou attempting a downhill 3 metal across the hazard, a shot that no one should attempt. So in the drink he goes and ends up with a Snow Man (8 strokes for you non golfers) to JR's 5. So with one hole to play JR leads by 6 but what is interesting is Lou now finds himself tied with Greg for second and CW is only 2 back. Anything can happen on the 18th at Errol, just ask Chuck. All 4 competitors hit safe drives but CW is long and straight down the middle it seems that he may make up the 2 stokes. Greg and Lou leave 2nd shots short of the green while CW pulls one left into a green side bunker. Bunkers are not his friend but he does execute a decent shot and has a putt to tie Greg as Lou had two putted to secure 2nd. Have we told you about CW's dreaded putter? Well its back, coming in on the last two holes he leaves each putt short. He could have taken 3rd place but instead he treated JR to a wonderful lunch.

So, you may sit your children down this evening before bed and share with them that all is not lost in this world. Oil may be up the war may drag on but at least JR has beat the Mann and it is clear that Lou is DUE. CW on the other hand may reload the field next Year.

Rumor has it he is checking out the Kids camp at both Rolling Hills and Sweetwater for potential competitors. See you all at the new and improved Dubsdred this Thursday.
