-The second part of the Lakeview-Washington Golf Challenge takes place at the Washington Country Club next Monday at 9 am. Format: first nine holes: alternate shot; second nine holes: individual play. Expect to post the pairings later today. Play at Washington will be straight up, no handicapping.
-Comment on yesterday's play: I think the Washington players did a great job of adjusting to the conditions at Lakeview and doing what was necessary to win. And, if you didn't notice, it was a resounding win anyway you looked at it, both in the scramble and in the best ball. I did hear a couple of the Washington players (including Charlie Bledsoe) say that their play was exceptional. But I also heard of comebacks after rough starts. I know that Dave and Charlie, the two paired with Bob Elliott an myself, kept making shots that kept them in the game or gave them a point (i.e., after Bob, myself and Charlie had dropped our tee shots into the creek alongside #2, Dave refused to join us and put his shot up to the left of the green - eventual par and point to them guys; Charlie also made a tying sliding downhill putt on #4 and a super chip on #6 that gave Dave a routine five foot putt for the point). And it wasn't that we didn't have our share of grand moments either: Bob Elliott's tee shot on #3 the first time almost went in and gave him a 13" putt for birdie; and my own five iron shot on #10 that that gave me a 24" putt for net eagle which did nothing but tie Charlie who had got himself a par and a net eagle. What does a guy have to do around here to get a point from these guys?! Hey, it was fun, lots of fun; and we look forward to Day Two next Monday.
-Am sure there are lots of shots and recoveries and also some ugly moments that took place yesterday. Got one to share? Put it in the comments.
World turns. Heading to the golf course. Eric has things started.
