Beautiful one minute sprinkles to rain the next. Then it became just steamy. For some the conditions were too hard to overcome. For others they found the fairways and took advantage of the soft greens.
15 birdies fell off the Birdie Train from last week as we only recorded 7 birdies this week, down from 22 the week before. The only player to grab 2 birdies was Grant Hines. He figured with the new baby arriving anytime now he better get in his best golf.
As expected with the drop off of birdies, the number of hackers that beat their cap was cut in half. Leading the way was sleeper Vincent Alongi who destroyed his cap by 5 Strokes, all without a single birdie. He did have 7 pars.
- Vincent Alongi – 5 Strokes
- Tom Ebert – 2 Strokes
- Mark Olivet -2 Strokes
- Brendan Mulcahy – 2 Strokes
- Sub Don Kurdt – 1 Stroke
- Glen Cranmer – 1 Stroke
Leaderboard update:
With the Collapse and ass whoopin the Smith & Dell took last week they tumbled out of 1st place.
I am not sure if you can describe the frequency of something that has never happened. With Jack on an Alaskan Vacation the improbable happened. Ebert played some of his best golf I have seen in years. Not only did he beat his cap this week they destroyed Smith & Dell by 24-0. If that wasn’t shocking enough they unprecedentedly went from 3rd place to 1st place in just one week and sit atop of the leaderboard.
For the Green Flight the Hines Brothers less Walker Hines continue to dominate that flight with a 30 point lead.
