Baker fires a Stellar 66

2008 OHCC club championship runner-up Shawn Baker fired a stellar round of 66 on the East Course (Blue Tees) this past Sunday. Shawn's fine round was a follow-up to a seemingly fine, but pale by comparison, round of 70 on Saturday.

Four under for the weekend, that's pretty strong.

Dr. Jim Mason was asked about Shawn's Saturday round and commented "It was maybe the best round I've ever seen".

When Jim continued to gush about Shaw's ball striking yours truely, John Schantz, was finally compelled to remind the fine doctor he had witnessed my 65 a few years ago. Not missing a beat Jim replied "Yeah, well you made a bunch of putts".

For the record, Jim, I hit 15 greens and took 28 putts so the ball striking wasn't too bad and the putting was only slightly above average.

Either way 66 from the blues beats me, what a great round of golf. We'll have to convince Shawn to join us for a few fall rounds this year. Maybe he can get in Mason's back pocket.
