I thought long and
hard all weekend about disbanding the Bro Golf Club. Not actually sure if
I could ever pick up a golf club again.
But, upon serious soul
searching, I realized that it's these trial and tribulations that make
life so rich. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. So I am embracing
the moment. I know that many thought I wouldn't post the video (and
therefore stole the video memory card). But G-Man returned it to me over
the weekend and at the end of this e-mail you can enjoy it to your heart's
content.
For those of you who
weren't there. Friday was another perfect day for golf at Los Verdes. A
nice tight field teed off at 10:05 a.m. At the turn, D. Mill (who shot a
38 on the front), Kid, G-Man, Dalis, and myself (with a career 42 on the
front) were all in contention. D. Mill faded quickly on the back. Dalis,
Kid and G-Man also faltered toward the end, but Dalis got into the
clubhouse with the lead (at net 72).
After a solid start to the back nine, my lug nuts started
loosening and I stumbled home. Following a hooking drive on 18th and a
shot into the trees, I punched out and pitched to around 40 feet. After
some quick scorecard calculations, it was determined that I needed to two
putt for my first every victory. I left the first putt 8 feet short and
missed the second. After tapping in for solid seven, it was on to the
first tee for a playoff.
Billy O caddied for Dalis and D. Miller reluctantly
carried my bag. Ensalada and I have played in more BGC tournaments
without getting a victory than an other members. Finally, one of us would
get the monkey off our backs. No strokes were given on the opening Par 5
hole (the same one that I described in the Nate vs. G-Man e-mail).
Jeff his a nice fairway wood right down the middle and hit
a solid second shot and had about 60 feet to the green.. I popped up my
drive, then hit a 5 wood to the fairway bunker and had around 200 left.
There is no need to describe what happened next. The video
tells it all. In one moment, Dalis not only captured his first title, but
also relinquished the honor of having the most embarrassing moment in BGC
history.
Congratulations to Ensalada on his first victory. Thanks
also to the Kid for another great Oakley Pro-Am. And thanks most of all
to Big Al. The prizes (Oakley sunglasses, Oakly gear, Titliest drivers
and wedges, etc. etc. were BY FAR the best in BGC history.). Al came
through big time and if you missed this event, you missed out on a booty
bonanza.
Okay, here's the video:

p.s. One more
"Whiffshaw" from C.B. and I may wrap a 4-iron around his head. Although I
might whiff trying to hit him.
