Everyone can barely contain themselves in anticipation of the open of the Olympics this evening. That even includes our trusty band of competitors although for them this morning’s competition has far more interest. Who shall own the bragging rights for the next week?

The first hole is split by Greg and JR with bogies, then Lou putts on a golf exhibition on the 2^nd (hardest hole on the course from the blues) as he goes on to record a par. Outstanding ball striking tee to green in regulation. JR and Greg get one back on the 3^rd

with Greg winning the 4^th as JR 3 putts from 10’. The 5^th had Lou and JR in the trees while CW and Greg managed bogies. On to our favorite par 3 6^th where JR’s drive up the middle of the ladies aid offers him no more than a tie with Lou and Greg. The 7^th generated some big numbers for Lou and CW while JR bounced the ball around but made a long putt for a bogie to tie Greg. Onto the final par 3 of the front 9 (yep they have 3 par 3’s on the front) and what a mess this group of wanna be Tennis players made. CW and Lou find water off the tee while JR and Greg show their golfing wisdom by hitting layups only to put their 2^nd shots in the same water. These guys really need to find a new sport.

So when the dust settles CW wins the hole with a bogie. The 9^th provided all four competitors a different venue as each of them found unique lies all along the par 5. As they make the turn all 4 record 7’s. Greg is leading by 2 over Lou who is out in front of JR by two CW is 2 back of him.

Let it be noted one par on the front nine…. Tennis anyone…. The 10^th was won by JR but he cannot buy a par. The 2^nd hardest hole is number 11 and our boys played it just that way. Three 9’s where recorded and Greg opened up his lead recording only a bogie. 12 saw Lou recording his 2^nd par of the round and he is starting to believe he can catch the Mann. The 13^th provided CW with his opportunity in the sun and he rolled a great putt for par. 15^th Greg extended his lead with another bogie. JR won the 15^th onto the 16^th with thunderstorms rumbling the boys must get it in to register a win for Greg. It was played well by Lou and Greg for bogies and then the rains came on us. The group huddled under some trees on the 17^th tee box for 30 minutes until the rain passed and they played

on. At this time the winner has been set and all that remains is to decide who will be 2^nd and 3^rd. Lou was not to be denied today as his putter brought him home for 2^nd place just 2 back of Greg. Mr. Mann surely had a few anxious moments going from 17 to 18. JR was third and the very kind CW hosted Greg for lunch. Oh let it be noted that CW finished 4^th last week but did not host the winner JR for lunch. So JR is holding a LTBD card on CW which he will forego if we change the rules as Greg suggested today. I would also suggest we invoke the inside the rap rule we played with today to speed play. Remember it is not the Triumph but the Struggle.
