Dennis Four Ball !

Sept 17-18, 2011 - Murph and I made our annual trip to the Mullen household in Dennis to compete in the Dennis Four Ball. We drove through the Friday 5pm traffic from Boston and arrived to the house around 7pm, had dinner at Lost Dog Pub. Excellent greek pizza, sesame chicken, boneless buffalo wings, and Guinness. We even liked it so much that we ordered the pizza on Saturday night for the FSU-Oklahoma game.

During the two days, we made homemade baked nachos, walked the beach, created a fire, and played 36 holes of tournament golf. My good buddy, Porter, came to watch us on Saturday with the Brockton boys. One of em said after a crappy shot on the last hole, 'the first guy I see in the bar I am going to punch him in the face.' Albeit a joke, this 6'5" 270 lb guy had likely been in a few melees in his day. Porter bought the guy a beer right away to make sure he was on his good side. We had an awesome time. The other Brockton guy played 5 years of minor league baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays before getting injured. Lots of laugh were had at the bar after the round.

Mike and I played really well in Round 1. We missed a bunch of makeable birdies, but still ended up at 2 under par 69 (4 birds, 2 bogeys). Tied for 11th going into the final round. We closed with a 76 in Round 2 to fall well out of contention. It was a bad day for us, only making one birdie.

As usual, one of the best weekends of the year. Weather was sunny and partly cloudy in the low-to-mid 60s. Winds were relevant both days, especially Round 2, gusting 20mph+.

Good times,

Kurt
