Where to begin: let’s go with the sidebet champion and our new leader on your FGL leaderboard. Rory’s win as well as Cam Young’s 3rd place finish were a huge part in the Team PAK-Mon win with 38 points! That’s more points in one tournament than several managers have for the whole year.
Manager Jim picked up 24 points. Big J drops into 2nd place with several of us just a few points behind.
As for Big J - TRADE ALERT he has dumped Min Woo Lee. Kind of sad. In his spot is a guy from his team last year (and a guy Doug just released early Thursday morning) - Mr. Colin Morikawa.
I had the amazing opportunity to get out to OakHaven Golf Club in Delaware this past weekend with Managers Big J and Doug. A wonderful day. Not many great shots but just enough to bring us back again!
Also got out Friday afternoon to catch some Master’s action with Ms. Monica, Doug, Maxine and Mrs. Commissioner. Gallo’s was pleased to host us.
One of Kevin’s traditional picks got himself in trouble last Thursday. Mark Calcavecchia thought he might be a last- minute sentimental pick-up by Kevin. Two problems. Mark was only AT the tournament; not in it. And then he got busted on his cell phone trying to reach Kevin. He was then immediately escorted out of the golf course.
Big J’s Bobby MacIntyre was burning quite hot Thursday. Slamming his club into the fairway and flipping off the green got him a nasty reprimand and soon thereafter a missed cut.
Congrats to Maxine for her upcoming retirement at the end of the month. I’m sure there will be fireworks and perhaps we’ll have a parade.
I was amazed watching the Artemis moon adventure. Everything went so perfect. But I often found myself trying to remember the 7 year old version of me that watched Neil Armstrong jump around on the moon and then I’d go outside and look at the moon and try to comprehend how that was even possible. This was an amazing adventure but reinforces how incredible it was to do that 55 years ago plus land & then take off from the moon with astronauts climbing outside the vehicle which did not happen this time. And back then, they pretty much did it all with paper, pencil and a slide rule.
Sunday brought Monster Trucks! Huge beasts. And louder than an AC/DC concert.
