April 27, 2014 - The fearsome foursome of Flionis, Lynch, Keegan, and Brennan had a Sunday morning showdown. The three of us tee'd off around 745am. I say three of us, because my partner Rob was still waking up. He joined us on the 2nd tee after I carried the team to a win on the first hole. Rob proceeded to make a stellar birdie on 2 to give us the 2-up lead. We never looked back. 10 team birdies, 9 under par best ball (62). A 6 & 4 thrashing that will always be 'chirped' at Keegan and Brennan throughout the 2014 season and maybe longer.
Weather was cold for late April; runny nose and cold hands. You wouldn't know by the drastic difference in apparel. I had a under armour and a full rain suit. Rob was in shorts and a light jacket. Temp may have hit 50 degrees.
My day was sweetened by a victory in the Paul Revere Cup, an 18 hole 100% NET MAJOR at the club. It is very rare for a low handicap to win. I shot 68 gross, 66 net for a one shot victory. One of my best rounds at LGC, with a career high 7 birdies, running off 4 in a row on the back nine.
Unfortunately (as this is so much fun), this will be the last battle of Flionis/Lynch vs. Keegan/Brennan until the fall season. Well, maybe not so bad for them, they could use some practice time....
What a start to tournament season at the Lex!
Cheers,
Kurt
p.s. (I think this 2-0 Lynch/Flionis since we started the new match record...see "1-0" blog post)
