Season Finish Recap 2 - 3 events

This is a fun time of year when the tournament schedule shifts to team competition:

September 21, 2014: LGC Fall 2-Man
Course: Lexington GC
Scorecard: Par 71 - 6,100 yards
Best Ball - 1 Net Plus 1 Gross: 138 (T5)

Brief Recap: Mikey K and I teed it up with S. Keegan and D. Brennan.  We battled, but did not have our best.  Due to a scorecard mistake by my great friend S.Keegan, we were knocked out of the money.  Good day of golf and laughs.

October 4-5, 2014: LGC Member Member
Course: Lexington GC
Scorecard: Par 71 - 6,100 yards
Best Ball Net: 68-70 = 138 (T18)

Brief Recap: Todd K and I teed it up and played with Mannings (both Peters).  Todd and I have done very well together in the past, but this time was not going for us.  I did not hold up my end, making few gross birdies.  I shot gross 76-74.  Todd's game was not his typical play and he did not make as many net birdies.  We enjoyed the company of the Mannings and was good to catch up with Todd.

October 11-12, 2014: Norfolk County Four Ball
Course: Presidents GC
Scorecard: Par 70 - 5,800 yards
Best Ball Gross: 71-74 = 145 (T43)

Brief Recap: Mecke and I were first time teammates.  Under rainy and cold conditions (got called off course for 60+ minutes during round, it felt close to cancelling whole day), we pulled together a marginal Day 1.  On Day 2, we started on the tough #6 with a bogey, then I birdied #7.  We got to the 10th tee at even and then the wheels fell off.  We proceeded to go bogey, bogey, bogey, double, par, bogey, bogey, bogey on holes 10-17.  +8 thru 12 on best ball!  It was so bad.  Not sure what turned, but the flip switched "on" after 17.  On 18, I stuck a 9-iron to 6 inches and made birdie.  On 1, Mecke chipped in from short left of the green to front left pin for birdie.  We just missed birdie on 2 and 3 and then I birdied 4 and Mecke birdied 5 to go 4 under on last 6 holes and avoid the basement of the leaderboard!  Where was that all weekend!  Really enjoyed competing with Mecke and hope to do so again in the future.  Also, Alberico brothers are cool dudes.  My individual gross scores were 73-78.
