It was a chilly one (about 5 °F) and only 10 souls were brave/stubborn enough to make it out to League last Saturday. This was the first week this season in which we didn't field a C Pool.
Dan "The Goon" Allen played like he always does and won A Pool handily. In B Pool, Mike B broke Naz's cash streak and took home the lone prize in a 2-man field.
Dan's -12 1st place round was filled with only 2s and 3s. His best birdie streak was from Hole 15 through Hole 2 (6 in a row). Way to go Goondaddy! It was a much tighter race below Dan with 3 players finishing tied at -8 (Sramdaddy + Gall + Flannery) and 2 more at -7 (Purpero + Asing).
In B Pool, Mike B played some classic Mike B golf, laying down a ton of birds (9 to be exact) but also throwing in some bogeys and one double bogey to finish at -4. I wasn't there, but I'm guessing my man airballed a couple 15 footers which then zipped by the basket at roughly 80 mph and left him with tough C2 comebackers. Just a guess, but if you know, you know. Naz's cash streak came to an end , falling 1 short of Mike B to finish at -3. It was a good run, Naz! You'll always have the memories.
Stats wise, the course played about average. Hole 18 (9 short) was birdied by 8/10 players, tying it with hole 15 (6 short) which has consistently been the easiest hole all year. I infer this means our cold weather discers also happen to be forehand specialists. Holes 14 (5 right) and 4 were the toughest on the day, finishing +0.1 throws from par. In terms of scoring separation, it looks like holes 3, 9, 13, and 14 are among the best at delivering both birds and bogeys so far this season.
Ratings were about 2 points below their average this week, perhaps due to the cold, perhaps due to randomness and the small sample size. Generally this league season, -12 has scored around 1005;-9 around 965; -7 around 940; -4 around 895; E around 840 or so.
We'll be back for Week 6 on Saturday - get your Venmos in on Friday or Saturday before 9am if you want to play!
