LGC Mid Summer Classic

July 9-10: My favorite tournament at LGC behind the Club Championship. We had excellent weather and great course conditions. The greens were rolling quick, especially on Sunday with treacherous pins on 3 (middle right) and 9 (front middle). Many people were putting it off the green from above the pin on both these holes.

I teamed up with Mike Keegan and we played with Dan Brennan and Steve Keegan. As usual, a boatload of laughs and good golf shots. Good memories of Mike finishing birdie and birdie in Round 1, including an almost impossible chip shot on 17. Mike was WAY right (almost to the woods) of the right-hand greenside bunker and the pin was back right, leaving 10-12 feet of green to work with, forget about having to fly the bunker. Mike's flop shot took two bounces and dropped in the hole. The second bounce hit my ball mark from my tee shot 1 foot from the hole. It was incredible that could hit the mark pop straight up and into the hole.

We shot 65 on Day 1, leaving us 5 back of the lead. On Day 2, we shot 69 for a 2-Day Total of 134. The winning team of Gary Bianco and Steve Geldart shot 130. We finished in the Top 10. A respect showing my Mike and I despite not playing all that great. Enjoyed it very much!

Shout out to Mike's 99 restaurant hat, Dan using his R11 driver as a hammer on the tee box, and Steve throwing Dan's golf ball from the 16th tee down to the 1st tee box.
