Well we’ve passed the midway point of our 17 week season so while there’s plenty of golf left to play we have to admit that it’s all downhill from here to the conclusion of our 2022 season!
Bill Drew is continuing his campaign for the 2022 Nick Malaxos sandbagger of the year by once again hitting a week’s best 39 net 23 after pumping up his handicap to 16 with a couple of bad rounds… so that’s now two weekly best net rounds in 9 matches… hmmmm…sandbagger of the year indeed!
Skins / Near Pin only had 14 entrants as we had several absences this week… Multi-week winner Christopher Stevens won cash (again) on #7 with a shot to 12’8″ good for $28. His partner Jamie Wilson grabbed a skin with the only par on #3 and rejuvenated Mitch Hull grabbed a skin with a birdie on #5 each good for $21… oh and a note: “The Kid” – aka Ryan Sanford – managed to bust his right wrist in a fall and so Russ is looking for his third partner of the year… hey Tim Maxim – want to make the commitment? Don’t think you’ll end up like one of those “This is Spinal Tap” drummers…
Next week features a potentially dramatic match between front runners Jamie/Chris (can this be the year they finally hang on to win it all?) versus current 2nd place “we want to win it this year” team of Lenny/Derek… in 3rd place is the always competitive and now playing back up to form Mitch and Larry Hull.
Note there’s been a correction in the Standings Report… somehow Derek’s week 8 score was deleted from the database and reduced his points total by 21. I was able to recreate his hole by hole score from the week 8 player report and that corrected the reports / database… Apologies for any agita that this causes… and thank you for your careful examination of the reports and these blog posts!
