enough about xander already (kidding 'cause this was actually interesting to hear about)...
i would like to congratulate:
pinkal and his mom for some great shooting and a nice win in open...
andrea keller for killing it in advanced and shooting well above her rating... if that girl gave up everything else she does that is super cool and just played golf... what a force to be reckoned with she would be...
ned blaisdell... not just a nice guy, but a great player... congrats on 1st in advanced...
and jeff hagerty and his one footed putting to take the win in masters...
and phillip kurtz (advanced grandmasters)... you're lucky you said all those nice things about him or else i'd be pissed that you beat my dad...
dan brown, jr destroys the intermediate division ... it's been a pleasure to watch you grow (and i don't just mean passing the 6 foot mark)... my favorite thing about you besides your skill has always been your demeanor and sportsmanship... impressive for such a young man.
lynn (not theodora!!!) for another win in intermediate women and for on her own deciding it was time to move up ( i actually still think she should finish out the series in intermediate... winning is just so much fun)
and crist garcia (i finally remembered... hey, did anyone ever check that dude's id?) for the win in advanced masters...
... and me? i wore my trophy hat to work all day yesterday and the blazer game last night... with the tag still on... damn right, i did.
... oh, and props to sean phillips for being a good sport, consummate professional and all around stand up guy... and it sounds like you, as well, xander... rules are important and so is knowing them (i hope that you are reading your rulebook right now! and this is a good lesson in that speed of play is important indeed but so is taking the proper amount of time... i find that nothing good ever comes from rushing rushing rushing...)
yeah, slosh!!!
p.s. super good idea on the hats, miss ashley peterson!!! and thank you to everyone who always makes these things happen...
