Well, despite the weird weather, we were able to get in our 36 holes today. We really lucked out... only rained on us for one hole, and that wasn't even that bad. Both courses were a little soggy, and it was windy as all hell... but we made it through.
In the morning round, I gave Excal 14 shots... that is, 1 shot per hole on all holes that were not par 3s. I beat him 3 and 2, and shot 77 to his 97. I took all sides of the Nassau. Saweeeet. In the afternoon, he had the same deal, but played a set of tees that were 600 yards shorter than mine (6850 to 6250). I got him 3 and 2 again, and shot 73 to his 92. Excal actually played pretty well on the back 9, and had a chance to win that part of the Nassau, but he pulled the old 3 tap choke on 18, when 2 putts would have cinched it. In his words... "pathetic."
All and all, a somewhat wet and exhausting day. Thankfully, the mime outfit never made it back out.
We have 18 more tomorrow at a course that I've never played, so we'll see how it goes.

So, Excel putts like da Rodent (someone who has turned the 3-putt into a work of art, it can be truely mesmerizing).
I give Joel credit for breaking 100 twice though.
Watch out tomorrow. Remember, da Mime lets his clubs do the talkin'.
Yeah, it was a meltdown... he was 1 up on that 9 and "layed up" on the par 4. I was just off the green with an easy chip, and he was a little scared of hitting it long on his 3rd, so he hit a very... indifferent... shot onto the green, about 40 feet away. I chipped it up to tap in range, and all he had to do was 2 putt to win the back 9. He left the first putt 12 feet short...
Wow, it must be thrilling to watch da Rodent and Joel play each other. This would be more exciting than that Big Break shit.
If the FPGP Open happens... I can't play in that group. Put me with Jeff and Vic, and let Tev, Robbo and Joel shoot a group 304.
