Duluth, GA USA (AP) – Was It the Heat or Something Else?
Conspicuously missing from last Wednesday’s round was Wayne Russell who rarely (other than the occasional colonoscopy) misses a round of play.
But on this day, he was MIA; and for what reason?
Let us not forget that his disc was challenged after the July 20th round, and that the Compliance Committee was slated to make a decision on August 2, one day before this week’s round. Could it be that the decision (as yet not publicly announced) did not favor Mr. Russell?
Unconfirmed rumors have it that Russell stated there was a conflict with family plans. Then again, he is the eldest of the players and there was a National Weather Service “official†heat advisory for August 3.
As the round turned out, Russell’s overall standing in the league was not impacted. In fact, while there were some slight changes to point spreads, there were no changes in the overall standings as a result of last Wednesday’s round. Maybe the old man just decided to take the day off. Maybe he is resting up for the third annual Alexander Aerial Armada which was to be played on Saturday.
In any case, hopefully we will know at least some of the answers next Wednesday.
