Hammerin’ Frito Bandejo was ablaze this afternoon!
All groups started off the round reasonably well. And then, starting with a hammering eagle on 6 and a hammered bird on 7 Frito started the tear for the Frito/Robby Team. Robby would nail an eagle from 75 meters on nine. On eleven, Frito would hammer a bird and then another bird on the rarely birdied 12.
Staying on their heels, at two back, was the team of Sammy and Wayne followed by MaT (who also hit a bird on 12) and Travis and then Stone and Mossburg.
All teams eagled 13 with some stellar up shots after some of the longest tee shots of the season.
On 14 the Frito/Robby team stumbled a bit with a par giving the rest of the field a stroke.
As the group headed into the “Travis Trail†birdies were made on 15 and 16 to keep the game within a stroke. On Eagle 17, Frito and Robby both went off the fairway on their drives while Sammy and Wayne put their shots on the fairway left and within a meter of each other. Wayne’s up shot left about 9 meters which Sammy nailed for a double eagle 3. Frito and Robby took an eagle and the game was tied at -18.
On hole 18 both teams birdied and the playoff was on at -19!
Due to scheduling conflicts and after the playoff began, the teams were whittled down to Frito and Wayne, who both agreed to play “cali/odd dog†style and continue to throw their partner’s discs. With two shots each, this went on for an unprecedented 15 holes at which time Wayne left himself too much of a putt (actually directly across the fairway from hole 18 at 9 meters) and missed both by only inches on either side of the hole.
Frito attempted his first putt “center style†and from about 2 meters. Hiking the disc between his legs, he missed by a long shot, but turned around and nailed the bird to win the match.
Congratulations to the team of Frito and Robby and particularly Frito for a stellar and grueling round!
The Ace Pool is now at $38 with Travis holding two IOUs.
As a correction to the discussion held prior to the round Wednesday, Travis was actually two (2) IOUs down on the pool and would have been penalized $10 (2 IOUs X $5) had someone hit an ace. It takes a big man to play a 5X IOU round. It takes an even bigger man to play at 10X. That is why part of this course is named after this stud!
Oh yeah, BOB (one of only two NFGA players to have ever met and beaten Skrote Sphinkter) caught up with the group on 7 and played to a stellar -13!
