Week 1 is in the books, and the 2009 season is underway! What's not reflected in the scores, though, is that we played 40 rounds of golf with no reported hamstring, groin, or quad pulls. Results and standings can be linked from here, or in the link list on the right.
All forty slots were filled this week (as opposed to only 32 golfers in week 1 last year). The lesson I learned from this is that Commissioner Season starts in March - not mid-April. Thanks to the team captains for getting everyone there, and for getting subs for those who couldn't make it.
Congrats to Travis Thoeny (34) and Jason Thomas (38) for their sub-40 rounds. I made an early-season mistake last night and forgot to have their scores called into the paper. Assuming the newspaper still exists next week, I'll do my best to remember.
Congrats also to John Loescher, who must have a putting green in his basement for winter practice, or maybe studied under the Zen-tutelage of Phil Jackson in the off-season. In a week when only three golfers bettered their average, John came in 6-under.
The scoring average this week was 48.85 (a high number to which I contributed significantly). Last season we started out with a 48.2 average, so we have some catching up to do. Back at it next Tuesday. So far, the forecast looks dry - partly cloudy and high of 65.
The Miller and Loew groups have the late tee times next week. "Partly cloudy" turns to "too dark to see" around 8:00 this early in the season. Feel free to arrange for earlier tee times next Tuesday. Just let me know when you'll be going out if you change them. Thanks.
