Today was a brilliant, but windy Halloween Friday afternoon.
Who would get tricked and who would get treated? Were there any ghoulish stories that will give anyone nightmares?
There were no horror stories on the front nine as 6 holes were won and the 9th was halved. However, the ghosts and goblins finally showed up down the stretch.
John Schantz and Dave Fries made a Houdini like escape on #16 when Jim Mason's 2 1/2 foot birdie putt for a field win was knocked off-line by a mysterious force and missed.
But Doug Lyon slayed his demons by lacing a 208 yard 3-wood into a 25 mph wind on #17 and converted the birdie for a team win. Looks like Doug will be sleeping well and Jim might be tossing and turning.
But wait!
The story is just starting to get interesting.
After being tricked for two holes the field was in a foul mood heading to #18 where an 8-hole carryover was at stake. Brad McAreavy was pulled as captain and drove long and right into the trees. He chose to laugh in the face of danger and took Doug Lyon as his partner, passing on the opportunity to see Jim Mason's drive ("Never wait for the last hitter").
Brad waded into the dark forest and hit a brilliant recovery that had the field quaking at its magnificence.
But it was growing dark and the Halloween spirits must have spooked the team as they failed to convert their par chances and the field enjoyed an early Halloween treat.
Will Doug be able to sleep at night? Will Brad? Heck, will I after writing this drivel? Stayed tuned for the sequel..................
Game Summary:
Players 5 (6 on back 9 for 7 holes)
Marks 10
Mark Leader - Schantz and Lyon with 4 each
Overall Leader - Schantz $21
