Only the most hearty of disc heads showed up for league last Saturday. Temperatures were in the single to low double digits and the winds were swirling, cutting though our outer layers like a Ballista through butter.
It was our first week all league in which a -12 or -11 wasn't needed to take down A Pool. The Goon Man Dan was only mildly perturbed by the cold and shot an A-Pool winning -8 in a field of 6. Naz and Samm split the 6-player B Pool at -6. In C Pool, Josh won the the duel with a +5.
In A Pool, the Goon Man Dan shot a bogey free -8 and was followed up by his fellow league director (me) at -7 and Leader Board Leeds at -6 to round out the cash line.
In B Pool, Naz and Samm diced up -6s. Naz did it with 8 birds and 2 bogeys, while Samm had 7 birds and 1 bogey. Weslee rounded out the B Pool cash line with an up and down round that included 5 birds and three bogyes to finish at -2.
In C Pool, Josh carded two birds and a handful of bogeys to finish +5 over Jeremy's birdie free +8. The chains were cold out there!
Lots of folks earned shoutouts this week due to league-wide lack of birdies. Here are the notable ones:
Samm had the lone bird on hole 3
Morgan had the lone bird on hole 9
Jake had the lone bird on hole 10 (1 long) - the hardest hole on the day
Frank had the lone bird on hole 12 (3 left)
The ratings for this week were almost 2 strokes higher than in prior weeks. This week Dan's -8 was 971 rated whereas two weeks ago -8s were rated a measly 944 (a 27 point differential).
With his Week 9 victory, Dan has all but cemented his overall league W unless someone goes crazy during the finale at week 10 (Jan 11). If you want a shot at upping your rating ahead of the Jan 14th ratings update - week 10 is your last chance to do it!
