Week 11 Recap

Well, I didn't realize how responsive you'd be when I encouraged low scores this week, but the results were pretty amazing. Perhaps it was the return of Travis Thoeny that inspired the league to average 43.3 (lowest since I've been Commish, by 0.7 strokes).

I felt pretty good coming off the course at 5 under par, but felt pretty inadequate when the scores started coming in and we had a 9 under (Brad Nelson), two at 10 under (Tom Weber & Andy Taylor) and an 11 under par (Bob Moritz).

All in all, seven players scored in the 30's led by Bob Moritz and his career low 34. Andy Taylor was one behind at 35. The rest were Travis Thoeny (36), Lynn Paulson and Taylor Devalk (37), Steve McDonnell (38), and Scott Gomez (39).

The Moritz team, behind their Captain, tallied 5 points to maintain their second half lead - by two points over the Kraus team, and 2.5 ahead of the Loescher team.
