Recap

Since nobody wants to post anything (Bayshore Baller recap? Rays tailgating stories? Losing RRRR? $150 bar tab recap? Jeanette dog update?), I'll just tell the world how golf went on Friday.

Location: Lexington Oaks
Group: Chandler, Gorecki, Buchanan, Geoff
Time: 12:45pm, Friday April 30th.
Weather: Overcast
You: A fuckin' ass

We spent the first 9 holes getting a feel for each other.  Every time someone had a good approach shot, the other dudes would feverishly attempt to get inside him. (GOTW, Nate?)

At the turn, I was leading with a 42. Buchanan was playing 9:15pm (LIGHTS OUT!) with a 43. Gorecki found himself in 3rd with a 50. And Geoff took it in the rear with a 52.  The group decided our current pairings were fine (Chan/Princess vs. Buckman/Heffy), and we'd play the "Low/Low Team" game on the back nine (this scoring system needs a name). As we did in the first half, everyone except myself would be awarded one mulligan.

Each team had confidence, but the tension was thick since Buchanan's shoulders were quite heavy from carrying Geoff. The patrons must have questioned if Ry could continue playing at such a high level. However, Buchanan/Geoff capitalized on some horrible play by Chandler & Gorecki on holes 10, 11 and 12. In fact, through 14, they had a 3 point lead with Buchanan coincidentally up three strokes on myself.

But in an epic collapse worthy of Jean Van de Velde, Ryan finished the round: quad, triple, double, double. I recorded two pars and two bogeys, while Mike and Geoff dicked around with a bunch of high numbers.

Final Team Score: Chan/Gorecki won +4 points (beers to be paid later).
Final Individual Scores: Chan (89), Ryan (96), Mike (105), Geoff (105).

So there you have it. Bowling league starts this week and I look forward to telling you all about it.

In all seriousness, a lot of people have asked about Leif's 3rd Annual Golf Tournament.  That will happen later this summer and all the info will be posted here.  So stay tuned.  If anyone wants to golf this Sunday, let me know.

Chandler,

I want to thank you for recapping the most epic collapse of my golfing career. I appreciate it.


DICK!

Geoff said...

If I ever learn how to putt, you guys are in trouble!

Chandler said...

Buchanan,

Once you successful lobby to have golf reduced to 14 holes, you will be unstoppable.

Buchanan said...

I blame it on the alcohol...
The heat...
Princesses' phone ringing...
The parrot...
...and my lack of ability at the sport of golf...

Chandler said...

I forgot about the parrot. That was some funny shizz.

And Princess... hang up the phone.

ya i made sure i recapped buchanans collapse to my dad the following morning with him present of course.

other highlights include chandler being afraid that i was gonna drive a ball through a patio screen and kill an old man, all of us teeing off on 15 and saying "Oh thats heading for a house!", and trying to get into each others heads by mentioning women's intangibles... we'll leave it at that.

Geoff said...

When are we playing again?

Chandler said...

This Sunday. Buffalo Creek attempt #2? Spend the night at Gorecki's the night before? Dudes in the hot tub?

Buchanan said...

As long as we don't try to get inside each other!

Too far?
