Ten-over par should normally accomplish the goal of being last in the tournament, but the inability of the favorites to finish the round gave ninth place to this hopeful quartet.
Tim Backenstose brought his son Hunter Backenstose along to increase the average height of the golfers present. It's good to have second generation Yanomamo present!
Mark Hawkins wowed the crowd before the start with his putting prowess, but apparently that didn't translate into the actual 18-hole round.
Group Officer Larry Mangan also braved the ideal golfing conditions to see if he could somehow finish in the back of the pack. In our running days, Larry was never in the back of the pack at the end of a workout. There were many duels on the last of 12 quarters between him and Gary Black. I got to watch a lot of them from near the rear!
A protest has been filed with the proper authorities. We had our hearts set on that last place trophy - the southbound end of a northbound horse - justice must be served! LTM
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time Tim's team has filed a protest with The Powers that be. We must remember that Coach Groves is the ultimate arbiter. I will bring it up with him soon. But remember Rule #13 of Coach's Rules for the Tournament:
ReplyDeleteRule #13 -- Any disputes of the rules shall be judged by Coach Groves or a representative of the group appointed by Coach Groves. Those disputing the rules shall be belittled and impugned by the whole group and shall forfeit all rights and privileges bestowed by The Keeper of the Beer.
Point of parliamentary procedure (I was pre-law...pre-med, what ever), your honor! The team you are saying finished last is actually a DNF rather than a DFL. I know that Coach will understand the difference and rule in our favor. LTM :)
