July 20, 2011 Singles Round

Another hot and muggy afternoon was the scene for nine players who made this round.

MaT would continue to demonstrate his air of consistency by winning the round with a solid -15 to tie his best score of the season (for a third time) and to move into the legue scoring lead by a point over Sammy. Wayne would take second at -12 after a one hole playoff. Hitting an ace with his first shot, Wayne gave Robby but one chance to keep the playoff alive. “I have to say, I was, in no way shape or form, ready to play another 15 hole playoff today,” said Russell. And lucky for him, Robby was not able to convert on his tee shot and the playoff was over after one hole.

The Best Hole Award (BHA) goes to Furman Sanders, not for what he shot, but for what he said! Always keeping up with the banter and after teeing off on seven, Furman removed his blouse. For some of the group, this was their first exposure to the artwork of tats that adorn Furman’s upper torso. Compliments from the group were aptly offered and Wayne, of course, had to offer his own form of complimentary humor at which time, the following exchange took place.

Wayne: “Hey Furman, what are you going to do with all those tats when you are all weathered and wrinkly?” Furman immediately and without hesitation replied: “I guess I will always keep my shirt on, like you do.”

This is but one of the many reasons we all continue to come out and play in the heat, the cold, the wind and the rain. Humor, taunt and competition are what keep it fun!

Unfortunately, Furman’s shoulder gave way before the round was over and he was not able to finish. We all hope his shoulder recovers so that we can continue to enjoy his quick wit, banter and able competition.
