One of the oldest courses in Central Florida was the site of this competition. It has just been refurbished and looks great. Greens are outstanding and fast. So today should be a true test for our four competitors. Yet there is something amiss and its not just the cloudy skies as our boys tee it up at Dubsdred 7:37 Am. A lengthy presentation by the Starter should have been a warning that this was going to be a long day. Yet we did get to tee off shortly after 7:45.

From the Back tees the first hole has a tunnel view and it allowed our boys to blast their shots all over the fairway. Yet Greg managed bogie to take the early lead. Next hole saw him come back to the field and then again with an OB on 3 followed by two OB's on 4. Greg was longing for his bed with the hopes that this was just a bad dream. By the time we left 4 Lou was up by two on Chuck. Chucks par on 5 provide him with a lead by himself until he strolled to the 6th tee box as he was leaving 6 green all he could be heard saying was give me a Ten....

Ranger Dan kept an eye on our boys the entire day. Seems these folks down here like to keep their Nines in two hour segments. Clearly they have never participated in a pressure cooker like the CW Cup. JR and Greg where having some major battles with the demons in their bags or was it between their ears. While Lou consistently drove the ball to the center of the fairway (attack the white post is what the starter said) and it was providing him with a nifty lead. Until the eight, there Greg hit the green in regulation and two putted for par to close on Lou. The 9th saw JR's driver woes take a whole new meaning as he found water twice. Lou, Greg and Chuck where strong in the middle of the fairway and Chuck would record pars to close on Lou. At the turn we have Lou in the lead Greg one back Chuck 2 back of him and JR trailing Chuck by one.

The 10th is a short par 4 and Lou Greg and Chuck hit great Tee shots. There was some concern that CW's 1st was in the drink so he tee'd up another and hit it in the same area. Not to be concerned he was dry. But much conversation could be heard on the Driving Range as they wonder aloud what the heck is Chuck doing. He walks clear across the fairway and up and down the hazard looking at his balls. Then as if just waking up he realizes he needs a club to hit the shot and has to trudge all the way back down the fairway (at least 100 yards) to get a club and then back to his ball. If Ranger Dan had seen it surely we would have been delegated to only the practice facility in the future. Pars where had by both Greg and Chuck bogie for Lou and JR had a snowman. Over the next 3 holes Lou put on a show off the tee and chipping. He was one over on that stretch and one got a since the last blog was right "Lou is Due" a battle was brewing for 2nd and 3rd between CW and Greg as they see sawed back and forth neither could shake the other. You could see Lou start to tighten up as he saw the finish line only 3 holes away. Muscles tighten and the fluid swing goes into protect mode. OB and a few grounders showed up and where enough to disturb what was shaping up to be a great round. Meanwhile Greg and Chuck are tied on the 18th tee box. Will we have our first chip off??? Drives are hit 2nd shots produce no one in a dominating position so CW pulls out his favorite 3 metal. Greg feels relief as CW nails one across the street OB and so it would end. Lou with a 98 Greg in 2nd CW 3rd and JR hosting Lou's first win Lunch. Congrats where shared by all.

Next week will be an off week as Our Champion will be traveling to the Island (me thinks for autograph signing) you know some people think he is Asian. The rest of the boys will be playing a skins game at some course near by. Enjoy your day.
