Fred's hot putter was the reason for the win. He had extra motivation because he was traded with Les. Fred said, "Trade me. I'll show you what you coulda got."

Gold Mt. Olympic Scramble
The underdog won for the second year in a row. It must have been extra motivation. They were given one stroke for betting purposes. Norm was so fired up he demanded the ball, telling his team "I got this" on a mulligan putt. Four under was a good score since the course was set up long.

Seed 3,10,4,8: Dale, Richard, Ronnie, Norm, 67

Seed 2,11,5,9: Calvin, Fred, Les, Edmon, 71

Seed 1,12,6,7: Benny, Jack, Dennis, Frank, 73

We were celebrating our Super Senior Frank's 80th Birthday at Anthony's Homeport. We will all be lucky if we can play like Frank when we hit 80.

Happy Birthday Frank

Tough day of golf (or too much to drink)

RWI 2015 The Old Dirty Dozen

Homestead

Welcome back to that same old place that we laughed about.

Now that Ronnie is retired he was able to join us after several years absence.

Pink ball was at Battle Creek. This course was picked because there are a lot of holes where you can loose your ball. We fought the course and the course won.

Benny and the Jets: Benny, Craig, Fred, Dennis. Hole 12

Class of 71: Norm, Dale, Ronnie, Edmon. Hole 9

Class of 70: Calvin, Richard, Dave, Jack. Hole 8

Loomis

The second day was Black vs. Red at Loomis Trails. A better name for the course would have been Loomis of Hazzards. Black won according to form.

Black: Benny, Calvin, Dennis, Edmon, Craig. 2

(Ronnie had to scratch.)

Red: Richard, Jack, Dave, Norm, Edmon, Dale. 1

The Scramble Finale was at Homestead. This year we tried a new formula to determine teams after some discussion that the old format wasn't fair. However the winning team got two strokes and won by 2 strokes. What's fair about that?

Seed 3,4,9,10: Dave, Dale, Craig, Edmon. 71

Seed 2,5,8,11: Calvin, Richard, Norm, Dennis. 73

Seed 1,6,7,12: Benny, Fred, Ronnie, Jack. 77

I won't add any comments about your swing if you don't make any about mine.
