#PLAYERS: 29
CTP: I already forget, but congratulations!
ACE: Pot is up to $71.
WELCOME: (back) Alan MacLean for session 2. Alan’s got a long drive up from Massachusetts so thanks for joining us.
THANKS: For the great weather. For once I wasn’t glued to the radar map all afternoon.
CONGRATS: To division winners Aaron Monier, Mike Frisina, Meadow Hartwell, and Katie Jenkins. Mo has returned to form in a big way with a 3-week average of 53.7! How he can do that with only 2 or 3 pre-league practice rounds is a mystery to me ;)
POTW: Mixed cards was a good opportunity for me to load my group with Jon “Lucky Charm†Grover and Pete Elliot, who I’ve never played with before. While Jon failed to bring the mojo I was hoping for (I cruised to DFL in open – Jon’s fault, clearly not mine) we had a lot of fun and enjoyed watching some epic P-Terd (Teebird) hucks. My favorite was Pete’s (Roc?) backhand drive on hole 6. He took the lefty hyzer line and floated it clean through the “back door†before it dropped down and SLAMMED the cage, missing a $71 ace by the narrowest of margins. So this week the POTW is Pete’s almost-ace. Next week lets make it a real one!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
!!TIME CHANGE!! – Next week and beyond we’re moving the start time up to 5:30pm. Please arrive early and register as soon as possible. Having the full list of players early lets us better optimize card sizes and starting positions and still get started on time.
Once again I appreciate everyone’s patience waiting on the final groups to come in and the tags/payouts to be handed out. Moving forward I think we’ll have to eliminate 4-somes altogether in favor of the occasional 2-card. 3’s are the smallest acceptable card size in sanctioned events (so that violations can be seconded) but I think we have no choice given daylight constraints.
While I’m thinking of it you should never let another group play through in tags or tournaments. That includes other tag groups and especially non-tag players (ewwww.) I allowed our card to play though the ladies card last night and I shouldn’t have. It adds delays to the already-slower group and means more waiting for everyone in the end.
Also don’t get stung by bees – that apparently takes a long time also.
I hope you all liked the mixed cards, as I did. We’ll do that every few weeks to mix it up and get to know some folks you might see all the time but never play with.
Birdies,
Jim
