A beautiful night for golf inspired a good turnout, with the league coming within one double booked sub of perfect attendance. Most amazing was that the Nelson:Weber match had a full contingent of 8 players. No doubt many league members lost their shirts betting on the under on how many players would show up for that match.
Teams Warren and Kraus each made a statement with 5 points each, eliminating every other team from the first half title chase and setting up an epic head-to-head match next week. Word is that advance sales for the top viewing spots are off the charts, as is the bidding for the TV rights. Three players managed to break 40 this week, including Mike Warren who needed just 12 putts thanks to quality chipping. Eric Durkee rudely shot a net 25 while matched against his Commissioner. Yes, there will be consequences (though his boss refused to fire Eric today).
In other news.....
> Taking one of his typically manly swings, Brad Nelson actually dented his driver striking his ball. May be a league first.
> Apparently confusing the "lower green" sign on the hole 1 tee box to mean that he was supposed to shoot for the green on hole 7, Jake Holler got as far as the hole 5 fairway. Once he was informed of the actual target, he managed to salvage a bogey. He may have kinked his neck during his round though, because he may have set a league record for head shaking while playing the ninth hole.
> Chad Shultz wilted under the pressure of being the season low average golfer through week 7. He won't be facing that pressure next week. However, he may be facing his second suspension, this time for allegedly cursing the Commissioner. An investigation is underway.
> Pat Fahey threaded another shot through the trees on hole 7 onto the green. A warning to others - don't try this at home.
