I'm really not sure where to go with this blog, Lexington GC was full of energy on this Friday night...the beer, wine, and food was flowing on the porch, bets were flying, and personal shots were taken (in a humorous way of course, we at LGC are all close)
I showed up to the course around 530 and managed to see a wide range of great events:
1) Matty C with a Super Stroke putter grip; if you know what this is, you'd be laughing in some way; Matt is working very hard to get rid of it by the club championship
2) Billy F mysteriously making his way around the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th holes, practicing golf or enjoying nature?
3) Scott C betting $20 on two separate bets with Brian K: 1) he would break 70 in at least one round of the club championship and 2) he will finish in the top 5 of the club championship; love the confidence, but you wouldn't catch me betting on myself in the club championship
4) Jack F and friends signing Ole Ole Ole Ole on the porch; yes, this really happened and more than once
Aside from the entertainment and laughter, there was some serious golf that preceded these events. It was the first Ryder Cup event in LGC history with Lexington High School defeating Arlington High School (graduates of all ages) 383 to 386 (team totals - 6 combined scores per team - included 9 holes net best ball and 9 holes net scramble). The low rounds per each respective team were for Lexington - Scott C and Pat H fired a 60 and Arlington - Peter S and Joe T fired 61.
In the middle of all this I managed to put in my practice time around the greens and on the course. The club championship is right around the corner. Everyone is talking about it. The hype it brings to the club just makes you love the tourny even more.
Can you believe Tiger Woods missed the cut at the British Open and Tom Watson and Mark Calcavecchia are 1st and 2nd? Say that again?
Passing out...cheers to the weekend
