On a seasonably cool and cloudy fall day Brad McAreavy continued his recent fine play and unleashed a number of major bombs off the tee.
His big tee shot on #1 led to his selection by captain Mike Labue. Much to Mike's chagrin Brad's 3-putt led to a team loss. Brad rebounded on #2 as another immense drive was rewarded by Doug Lyon. Brad rode Doug's coat tails as Doug made 4 for 3 and a team win. Brad captained #3 and hit still another monster drive but the hole was halved as both Doug and Brad made 4 for 3.
Just to prove it's not all about driving Brad took the greenie on #4. Of course there's also the mental side to this game. That means you should always check the ball you are going to hit. Brad's third shot on #6 was nullified when he discovered he hit Mike Labue's ball. It only cost him a shot at a birdie putt as the hole was halved with pars.
Brad made up for his error as he led the field to a win on #9 with a birdie and 6-hole carryover win. Two more massive drives on #11 & #12 led to two more birdies. His drive on #12 ended up pin high just left of the green. Displaying uncommon touch he almost holed the eagle chip. The birdie putt was conceded for the team win.
Another prodigious poke was rewarded as Jim Mason selected Brad on #15. Brad did not disappoint Jim as he made 4 for 3 and another team win.
The "I'm not playing that great but I'm still thinking" award goes to Jim Mason. John Schantz selected Jim as his partner on #11 and Jim's third shot came to rest on an upslope 12' past the pin. At this point things weren't looking too good for the team. However, Jim was convinced the ball could not stay where it was. While everyone else was putting Jim waited for his ball to move and of course it did. When it finally stopped rolling he was left with a straight forward 4 1/2 footer which he holed for the tie.
For the second time in as many weeks Doug hit a boring 3-wood on #17 to 15' from 217 yards into the breeze. This time he could not convert the birdie but made the par for his fourth mark on the back nine.
After the tie on #17 the 18th was worth 6 carryovers. Mike LaBue was captain and had a difficult decision. Take Jim Mason who would follow Mike or wait for Rocky who would hit next to last and was stroking. Mike flipped the coin and took Jim.
In another "you gotta be kidding me moment" Mike watched as Rocky's third shot from 50 yards rolled up to 1' and the 4 for 3 was conceded. Jim was lying 2 20' from the hole and Mike was in the rough just off the green chipping for 3. Mike calmly stepped-up to his ball and.........chipped it in for the birdie and halve. Just proving you make you own luck. Nicely done!
