Conditions were swell but our turnout was meh ahead of the holidays. In A Pool, Murph dog and I were able to split the W in 7-player pool shooting -12; in B Pool, Naz continued his winning ways shooting -8 in a 5 player pool; and in C Pool Jeremy stood alone against the elements and solo'd his way to the W with a +5.

Murphy proved that he's been playing more disc than studying by shredding the Goon with 13 birdies and one self-sacrificial bogey (due to a doinked 5-footer). I can only assume that bogey was his way of showing off his Christmas spirit by lifting up his fellow man and awarding one of his biggest fans (me) part of his winnings. Dan "the Goon" Allen had a typically strong showing but got rattled enough by a spit out on hole 16 to miss a 15-footer on hole 17 and give Murph and I the W.

In B Pool, Naz carded 9 birds and one bogey to take the W over the field by 2 strokes. Derek had a strong showing shooting a bogey-free -6 to round out the B pool cash line.

In C Pool, Jeremy had an up and down round with 2 birdies and few bogeys to finish +5. Sadly, he was alone in C Pool :'(

Stats wise, Holes 2, 11 (2 left), and 17 (8 right/short) played the easiest on the day, each averaging -0.62 throws from par. Hole 10 (1 long) was the hardest on the day, averaging +0.23 throws from par. It was bogeyed or double bogeyed by 31% of players. Hole 4 also played tough, averaging +0.08 throws from par.

Shoutout to Dan Allen for being the only player to birdie both of the hardest holes (4 and 10). He did it by cashing C2 putts on each. Shoutout as well to Murph for stream-parking hole 4 and sinking the putt from his casual relief.

We're 7 rounds into this league, giving us a sense of who has a chance to be the overall league champ. As a reminder, each player's top 7 rounds by points are included in the overall league-long points tabulation. Here are where things stand:

255 (7 rounds played) - Dan "The Goon" Allen
230 (6 rounds played) - Sramdaddy Dave
202.5 (7 rounds played) - Naz "B Pool Muncher" Munoz
187.5 (5 rounds played) - Scott "Penelope's dad" Groves
177.5 (6 rounds played) - Morgan "Leader Board" Leeds
170 (6 rounds played) - Anthony "The Pastor" Purpero

It should be an exciting finish to the season! The Goon and Sram Daddy are the favorites going into the final 3 weeks. Let's see how things shake out. We'll be back at the Goon on Saturday to ring in the final AK sanctioned round of 2024 - hope to see some of y'all out there.
